C’mon guys, you are all forgetting the academic factor. Facts are that ILH schools have a better academic track record than the public schools. While i hate to say that, wouldn’t you want your kid to have the best education?…or go to a school that could be a link to a college. Again, its about the kid’s future, not the adult’s wanting to have a better football team at a public school.

“Coach” Cal is gonna open up his man purse to buy these kids from their families and communities to use them in STL to get another championship. You know what they say: if you can’t beat em, buy em

SPORTSPARENT,
I get what you are saying, but the bottom line, STF is closing their 7-12 grade levels, there really is no other way to slice it. It is unfortunate, but that is the financial facts. The school may have bigger problems than their sports program, they may find it hard to keep the elementary school open over the next few years. This is a trend, small schools and small churches closing their doors. I still think most of these boys will end up at OIA schools, or a school like Damien. St. Louis may be offering them a spot, but again this is a system program that may be hard for the upper classmen to get quality playtime. I wish them the best of luck in their academics and sporting endeavors.

St Louis has been struggling with numbers as a school, they’ll admit pretty much anyone from St Francis regardless of if they’re an athlete or not.

Damien might be a great option for St. Francis students. Same type of Catholic Private School Education. Uprising Athletic programs, football, basketball, baseball etc. Convenient location in Kalihi. One of the lowest if not the lowest private school tuition. And last but not least COED….VIRILITER AGE!

STL Academy does not recruit. But this says it ALL: Saint Louis School released a letter Wednesday night saying the school would like to help the young men by “waiving all admissions application fees and SSAT testing requirements for Saint Francis School students."

Observation, you are forgetting that besides the scholarship money, the friends of the program money is also an option. Those funds are for the high end athletes. STF has a few of them, so lets sit back and see where these players land. If STF administration and coaches had handled things right, who knows, maybe they don’t have to close down 7-12.
