Rose, hard time, Davis, Calloway were from homestead.
All starters. Devonaire was their best dlineman,
Goulds.
Where are all those transfers this year? My point exactly. They can not do what private schools do year in and year out. This dude just said Dematha has players from Virginia. lol
A few players from an area that's 30 minutes away. How far is Homestead and Goulds from overtown? They aren't the only private school in that area. Gilman and Good Counsel usually have better teams. The public schools have talent, too. They just lack the resources for quality coaching and development. They had a 6 win team beat IMG, last season.
I do agree with your premise when it comes to transfers, except in Dade. Columbus is really the only private school that's getting a few quality kids from other neighborhoods.
Look at SoCal. Except for Corona Centennial, none of their publics can compete with the private schools in the Trinity and Mission league. Poly doesn't win **** anymore. I don't think a public school has ever won the pac-5. Same thing in Jersey. Other than Tx, Ga, and parts of SFL, Private schools flat out dominate the competition.
