So they don't get players from the Cincinnati area? I understand there are transfers to an from every school out there. But some seem to get a little more athletically gifted ones an get them consistently? An I dont think there's much of an argument that it's the private schools who benefit the most from this?? IMO. But I do believe also that after a team like HHS or trinity get the reps that they have earned over the years people just gravitate towards winning programs like them, so the actual "recruiting" part ehh... maybe not so much. but the ability to have kids from all over attend your school without any boundaries Is probably more of a problem. IMO. An the list of schools Still alive just makes the point for public vs private debate that's a large percentage of co. Schools an small percentage of private I would bet a pay check that will most certainly be equalled out the next few rounds by losing most all public schools an I'm sure private will be represented nicely in every class? As is par. Just my opinion on what I've seen through the years. Not trying to step on toes here.

KY football is considered a joke by many in Ohio, and it would be very uncommon for an Ohio player to want to come to Highlands to play football. I can think of 1, and he wasn't even a Varsity player before transferring back to a school in Cincinnati. I think there was another, but I am not sure.

Lastly, it has been stated many times, but bears repeating. The Ft. Thomas Independent School District has many tuition-paying students in grades K - 12, but only a fraction of them (maybe 2%) play football.
