If Volke wasn't a fine football player would he still go there? The sr. (Justice) that transfered there this year from Dixie, guess he wanted that one year of quality education. :hilarious:

I am not saying all parents make education #1 priority and may send their kids there for sports first, but the school is worried about academics first and wants to remain #1 in education. If the good athletes can pass the entrance exam for academics they will galdly take them ,otherwise they will not take them. They are the toughest school to get in and I believe the only public school that requires an entrance exam thus allowing them to only take kids that are going to keep them at the top academically. Believe me, the high majority of kids are there for academics and the school board knows that, thus they want to keep at the top on state testing. By the way, not a Beechwood fan, just stating the facts.
