Why are kids leaving Somerset for other schools?

Gavin Stephens' went to Pulaski for basketball, not playing football for the Maroons. The Smiths went to a private school in Connecticut for more opportunities is what I've been told. I do not know why Jones went to Southwestern. He was a senior last year at Somerset then SSYP'd.

Interesting. I thought if you used the supplemental year you had to stay at the HS you attended the previous year at.

Somerset didn't fight it, wasn't worth the headache with Jones ( guardian was never happy) and rumor by good sources was over a girl. Go figure. Lol also Beechwood is just a beast this year. If Doan is injured its going to get worse. I don't blame the twins for a taken a great opportunity,  but it was parents idea not kids, but it helped the family due to dad could transfer in Army by school were as the family was apart. Steven's just played with friends on the class last year. He's all basketball.  Everyone seems shocked, but in Somerset we all knew it was going to be a bad year. As for the up coming juniors.  They won a pay to play tournament,  and only played 3 games I think because some teams dropped out. There is only a hand full of teams that play, not even some of the best teams. The past three classes had to play against hold backs etc. In middle school. And they had the twins. I know its fun saying your middle school state Champs, but in my opinion unless u play the best of the best, and almost all teams compete it's not a state tourney. 6 years ago Meece had 23 8 th graders, won it, and only had 5 seniors. This senior class had 23 8th  graders, now have 5 seniors and didn't win it. So yeah they're going to take beatings this year. I also agree with lack of JV games. Somerset went 3 years undefeated in JV till last year. So the drop of of talent is huge.
