This is the case for some Public Schools but not all. Manchester Valley has a great team and ranked #20 Nationally. There are plenty of other public schools where there are good athletic programs and academics too. Private schools have a lot of weak teams too- the entire B & C Divisions. To say they do nothing in public schools is entirely incorrect and sounds ridiculous. Get over yourself and grab another drink at the Valley

Some of the public school kids get 5 star awards playing on HS team but do not shine at all on the club teams. Many even play for the B team. Maybe this is what they are referring too
