Why are kids leaving Somerset for other schools?

The Smith twins left to attend a prep school as their parents requested. 

Two kids left for Southwestern. One of them for playing time and the other took advantage of the Covid year and went. Why? No clue. I’m guessing he wanted to chase another ring. Hope it works out for him. 

One left for Pulaski County HS for basketball. Wasn’t going to play football this year anyway. 

My two cents is that the team is struggling because of a handful of things. Youth, inexperience and here’s one that might sting…a lack of JV games to prepare. Only played 3 last season and I am not aware they have one scheduled this year at all. Can’t expect kids to get better and desire to develop their skill set with a lack of competition. Kids don’t want to be practice dummies for a couple years before getting their chance. You just see numbers further drop off and kids quit (which Somerset had a few of those as well)
