I know Tim and those guys. Good people and a very good basketball program put in place. McCLure is serious about academics as much as he is about basketball. The school probably needs to compete in 3-A division. They have several potential D-1 players in the loop.

Why should they be competing with schools that dont get students in the same manner?

Nobody in 1a is going too beat them.

It appears that recruiting will soon be the norm and soon will be accepted. Someone needs to catch it before it gets out of hand. If a team recruits, then they should be in a unique division like Private Schools have. This 1A team nearly beat a 5A team last week. I believe it was Clear Springs by two points? That should not happen under normal circumstances.

I totally agree.

C'mon guys, let them enter 3-A. Better competition. King McClure (2015) is already being groomed as a future McDonald All American  ;)

then if the "grooming" is a priority, put them in their own private league or in 5-a where they can get really "groomed"

I agree. These type schools should be made to play in highest classification in area, not lowest.

And it looks like by next re-alignment they will be playing in the highest classification in their attendance zone.
