It is a shame more kids from around here don't just go try their luck at some of the combines. There are very few from the area that colleges would take a chance on but you never know.</div></div>

I hear ya man. I honestly wish we had the #'s for kids to feel like they can specialize in a sport. I think some kids think that they have to play all 3 main sports because they're one of the school's better athletes, and they have to help the school by playing all those sports instead of focusing on one. THAT is where I think consolidation will eventually help out...kids will feel more free to focus on their one strongest sport and leave their weaker ones behind.

It honestly breeds higher level competition in each sport and leads to better players being produced.
