They do nothing at all in the public’s. Plus the quality of athletics is very bad.
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[/quote]
I always like to point out that the US National Team (the top team in the world) had 3 players that went to High School in Maryland at the last World Championships. 1 was from the IAAM (TC), 2 from Carroll County Public Schools (Lizzie Colson & Alice Mercer). There are plenty of good teams on the Public Side, with high D1 players and quality coaches. And there are many bad teams. Just like the IAAM.
