I think you are missing the obvious. It is true that freshman championships are not necessarily an indication of varsity success however they do suggest that players have a grasp of the fundamentals. In this case kids seam to peak as freshman. It appears that player development is not occurring at the varsity level.

To be clear Ryle and Cooper are the only programs that have a feeder system. To answer your question it clearly helps as seen by the results of the freshman team at Ryle. The issues are above the feeder system.

Last 2 freshman programs prove the success. The issue that came with this program is the success at these levels made the group of parents closer than any group I have ever seen come thru Ryle. They have seen Ryle go 3-8 and 2-9 the past two seasons and are the main Reason for the Warner rumors and the hot seat moving to Warner. They know they have a few talented groups and are not afraid to be very vocal with there opinion as a group. Especially because of the offensive success those teams had. The Warner style O is also a driving factor for this group.


With a 5-15 record and 0-2 playoff record the past two seasons I see why the heat is coming but at the same time i have seen the success Warner has had and have been thru the up and downs.

And the closeness is not a bad thing it is great for the community and the Ryle program. It also helps to hold individuals responsible as there is no excuse for anything less than success with these groups. Ryle had a strong program being built I would consider the last two seasons a slight setback but Ryle will return to dominance as they should. I would compare Ryle to an early Highlands community with more talented athletes. The foundation has been laid they just need to get back to fundamentals and renew the conquest for dominance.
