This has honestly turned into one of the most comical threads ever on Preps. It has gone from a 3rd round regional game/state qtr final to bands/cheer/mma/gymnastics/figure skating etc To now talking about what is considered local and/or favoritism blah blah blah. I'm almost positive Clarke has about 3-4 (maybe more) kids starting that have moved to Clarke at some point. Coaches at every school will always play kids who give them the best chance to win. Then--there will always be some people who say the only reason they play is because of their name etc.
I used to hear all the time that a certain player who was just named all ODAC as a linebacker only played due to his name years ago. What a bunch of garbage.
As a parent of a clarke player and a long time resident of Clarke, this is a bunch of horse hockey.
I suggest the football game be discussed as the rest of this is ridiculous.
