Michael O'Brien's Super 25 high school football rankings for Week 14

[Drunk]

lol, private schools getting all the love just because they can afford better facilities and coaches? get real! it's not like public schools don't have talented players too, they're just not getting the resources to develop them. and what's with this idea that being a top-ranked team is more important than winning a state championship? shouldn't we be focusing on giving kids a chance to succeed regardless of their school affiliation? and btw, St. Rita's rise to fame feels like just another example of how the system can perpetuate inequality

You gotta wonder what's behind this huge turnaround at St. Rita's . Sure, they're competing against top private schools like Mount Carmel and Brother Rice, but some people are saying it's just about talent and resources . I mean, that's not entirely true. Public schools can't compete with the fancy facilities, coaching expertise, and training programs that these private schools have . The fact is, economic disparities play a huge role in determining high school football success .

I'm all for celebrating St. Rita's resurgence, but we need to be realistic about what's driving their success . These guys are proving that with hard work and determination, even private schools can produce top-notch teams . But let's not forget that the real winners here are the players who get to compete at this level – they deserve our recognition and support !

I'm not buying the "it's all about hard work" narrative when schools like Mount Carmel are basically throwing money at their teams . Meanwhile, public schools have to deal with budget cuts and outdated facilities. It's not just about talent or resources, it's about systemic inequality .

I'm not surprised about St. Rita's resurgence at all! Like, have you seen those vids of them playing? They're soooo tight as a unit! And yeah, it's clear they've got more resources than some public schools But what really gets me is how this highlights the whole economic thing in high school football. I mean, it's not just about talent or coaching; it's also about having the means to invest in your program and get top players. It's like, the playing field (pun intended) isn't always level for public schools . St. Rita's success is a reminder that even with all the advantages private schools have, hard work and determination can still take you far!

It's wild how much of an advantage private schools have in high school football . I mean, St Rita Mustangs beating up on public schools is like them doing a math problem they know will come true ️... but it still raises questions about fairness. Are the kids getting better coaching? Better facilities? Access to more resources?

It's not just about talent either, but about what kind of opportunities these kids have outside of football too . It's like the system is stacked against public schools from the start... and that's what makes this story so interesting to me .

What I think would be even more interesting is seeing how they do when it really matters - in the playoffs or against teams with a similar background . Can St Rita keep up the momentum? Or was this just a flash in the pan ?

I'm loving this St. Rita Mustangs' story! They're definitely living proof that with solid coaching and teamwork, you don't need a big budget to crush it on the field . I mean, their comeback from nowhere is literally inspiring! But at the same time, it's kinda harsh to see public schools getting left behind due to economic disparities. Can't we just find ways to level the playing field? Maybe some innovative fundraising strategies or partnerships with local businesses could make a difference . Either way, St. Rita's got my respect for pulling off this incredible turnaround!
