4 years ago I would have said Club is all you need. These days, college coaches prefer HS tape against the best teams and players. If your kid is a ranked player, it won’t matter a whole lot. If not, go private. Not even a question.
Is he a top player on this top club team. You'll need to do an honest assessment or your son will spend a few years on the JV and/or the varsity bench at many MIAA schools. Look at LB's bloated roster as an example of talent that never sees the field.
