Interesting that ppl believe Catholic / private schools have some sort of athletic advantage. The pool of students is very limited as not every family has the ability to pay the tuition and even fewer have the desire. In addition, the culture is just different than that of the public school system (attire, hair length, religion, acceptable behaviour). The success rate of students that come to Catholic from the public school system solely because of athletics is very low: many leave after their freshmen year.
