I can agree with that as well. But it is impossible year in and out to compete with school systems that can......(and I will not say recruit) get kids from surrounding large cities to come play for them, and still have a fair comparison with a school system that truly has to take what kids that come out to play, in the public school system. ESPECIALLY those schools that only have ONE school in the entire county. Not recognizing this is just being nieve.

You're arguing more the difference between Rural areas versus urban areas not public versus private.
In the Urban more populated areas of the state you have more opportunities to play at multiple schools (in Northern Kentucky a parent has 19 teams that play football with in a 30 minute drive to choose from). Where as in some rural areas you only have one school in the entire country.
