I don't know the situation at Pburg but this has been going on at BL for years. Kids leave to thinking they will better themselves in sports. A lot more often than not what happens (in basketball I have noticed) it breaks up a team that "could be" a regional contender and creates a couple or sometimes multiple mid level and/or lower level teams. This has been the case 95% of the time with only a couple of exceptions. The only group that stayed the course at BL over that time span won the 2011 All "A" state championship and was a favorite to win the region that year falling just short. I would love to have seen what could have been at BL knowing the talent that it's feeder programs produced.

Everything you said in this post was spot on including the incredible teams that would have been across all sports if they had all stayed at Betsy Layne. But also, here at Betsy Layne we don't let those things define us although it has become a problem in our school and it's became obvious that it is affecting our athletics but we want to continue moving forward and not thinking about the things that could have been.
