Good to see, congrats to the three schools: Burlington Catholic Central, Marquette and St. Mary's Springs.

WOOOOOO!

Go Hilltoppers!

The removal of WISAA has really paid off for CCHS, as far as title game appearances in sports.

They don't.  I know a number of people in their AD personally.  They have absolutely fantastic youth programs and a ton of $$$.

Yeah, the Arrowhead Athletic Department would admit that they recruit.....There are any number of kids from surrounding districts that go to Arrowhead.  I know some of them personally.

Tom Parrish does not live in the Arrowhead district.
I don't think that Tyler Donovan was from the district.
 

The recruiting may be passive, but the $$$ buys facilities, and the facilities attract the kids and their parents.  Again,  THE Arrowhead University.

Are kids drawn to the district for athletic and academic reasons?  Sure.  That happens throughout Wisconsin now that it has become easier to switch districts.  And how do you passively recruit?

Donovan lived in Brookfield thru 7th grade and then his family moved to the Arrowhead district for him to play 8th grade youth football for them.  Turned out to be a good move.

How do you passively recruit?  Build facilities that only a University (of Arrowhead) can afford.

My original point was:  Private schools are accused of recruiting and this is, of course, the reason for their prominence in football championships.  The fact is that schools like Arrowhead and Homestead recruit, too.

I guess if you want to change the definition of the word "recruit" they do.
