Also guess what some kids really want a chance to win state championships. Sometimes the group that a player might be with, the place his parents live, might just not be very good. Yeah sports are fun when you’re with your buddies but winning is also fun. If you’re a really good player on a mediocre or below average team, why begrudge a kid that wants to go somewhere and compete for championships? Kids only get 4 years of high school sports, well these days some get 5, but the point is it’s a small window. If a kid wants to stay for his friends and loyalty that’s admirable. If a kid wants to leave and get a fresh start or increase their chances of success well that’s admirable too. Theres positives and negatives associated with both decisions. Why get worked up over either. Don’t Worry, Be Happy

It's just a game, and life is not a fairy tale. We can't always win, and there's no glory in winning with players that are not even from where the school is.

Tell that to the kids after they’ve won a state title.

Bingo. You can't always win, but when you can, don't you think you'd rather do that than lose and say at least we lost with the kids that were here?

NO!
