Gipper Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Interesting, lots of lists out there: Illinois: Joliet Catholic (stadium.com), Nazareth (maxpreps.com) Tennessee: Brentwood Academy is the best on both sites (although there are many more), so they must be pretty good Connecticut: New Canaan (s), Greenwich (mp)—both are located in uber wealthy locales, so there’s that, just like the best programs in Ohio & Pennsylvania are Catholic school Alabama: Hoover (s), Penix City (mp)—feeder systems for Auburn and Bama Indiana? Yeah, we got some press, too: Cathedral (s) and Warren Central (mp) which are not that surprising. there are 43 more that are not that much of a surprise, Saguaro in Arizona and Bishop O’Gorman in Nevada. But Arrowhead in Wisconsin? Quote

Not the real game of American tackle football. 1 2 Quote
Gipper Posted May 9, 2020 Author Posted May 9, 2020 Some of these lists are historical, while others are current. I also saw DeMatha Catholic in Maryland was on the list which was interesting because they’re also a basketball power. Quote

Gipper Posted May 10, 2020 Author Posted May 10, 2020 I’m happy for places like Lincoln County, NV, Harlan, IA, and South Panola, MS just like I’m happy for the big boys of De la Salle, CA, Aquinas, FL, and Sr. Ignatius Prep, OH: just have tenacity despite your lack of a talent pool or numbers...

Arrowhead lol. 100% Kimberly Must have got a big knock because they couldnt repeat as 6 or 7 time champions for 208/2019 while posting 12 wins season. 5 straight wasn’t good enough 😉 1 Quote

So you feel as if your religious preference was why you didn't get the position you interviewed for? After all the descriptions of the county in that article describe it as a virtual heaven on earth, a complete opposite of the hedonist environs of Las Vegas. Edited May 10, 2020 by Muda69 1 Quote

I would stick out like a sore thumb. Supposedly, one of the questions they asked me in the interview (What would you do if you saw a co-worker use school-supplied printer paper for personal use?) was designed to "fish out" non-Mormons.
