^ I am not sure what the answer is... some (from Louisville/NKY area especially) will come on here and make their comments about how "you just have to get better", etc... when you mention a public/private split.

I don't think people outside of Eastern KY have any clue as to what the folks outside these larger metro areas face on a daily basis. If you can afford to pay $50K plus for your child's HIGH SCHOOL education, then you truly have no clue... Kids in our region have to travel 2+ hours if they want to play on a quality National level club team, not to mention the cost to play on said team. If you are from an area that has a average income of $25K a year, do you think it's as easy as, "get better" when you are competing against kids that can pay $50K for their high school tuition, plus thousands of dollars a year in club tuition/coaches fees/travel expenses???
