As coyotes pointed out, every public school in the state has the option to go open enrollment. As an open enrollment school, they can attract players from anywhere. Why penalize a school like Mooney or Ursuline because students around the area WANT to be a part of a winning tradition and decide to go to Mooney? Why penalize the schools because parents would rather send their kids there so the kids have a better chance at getting college scholarships?Want to make it apples to apples? Go open enrollment. Work hard. Get the right coaches in place to build up a program which will attract students. And quit bitching.

There have been 100 teams playing for a championship in the state finals, 40 have been private. Of those, Mooney and Ursuline account for 10 so that means 30 other privates have also particicpated. Private schools have won 21 of those 50 championships, not counting division 1 so what argument are you going to use now?

I am open for discussion on thoughts .... I sincerly feel bad for a team like Kirtland that which town is so proud of a that team from such a small town and they basically are playing a D-1 juggernaut .. It is disparaging ...and yes Ursulin could very well win D-1 this year ..Just as Mooney could have won several times in D-1 this past decade....just saying
