You could and maybe there are a few in the region, but the schools seek out black athletes for diversity numbers. Like the pp wrote, the scholarship/tuition reduced athlete will always get preferential treatment when it comes to playing time.

This is not a universal truth. Plenty would say the rich white kids with pushy parents get preferential treatment when it comes to playing time.

Caucasian vs caucasian. Yes, the pushy parent or rich donor gets the nod.

Black scholarship vs pushy parent. Black player always gets the nod.

Depends on the make up of the student body but lacrosse is dominated by white players and basketball is a dominated by black players.

Sadly, this is true. The private schools use basketball as a way to increase diversity. It’s shocking how many of the privates can be 35% non-caucasian, but most of the privates run over 70% aa for basketball. If your kid is a good basketball player and is Caucasian, do not send them to a private school. There is a built in bias bc of the coaching staffs and the scholarship players must play.

There is no bias when teams have multiple black players who are nationally ranked, there is no reason for a coach to bench his D1 prospect so they can diversify the court. Regardless of skin color if you are a top basketball player you will play, it just happens that there are more black basketball players who fit that criteria than white basketball players

Same with Football. Not gonna find too many white players on the field at DeMatha - GC - St. John’s - Carroll - McNamara and so on.

Not true at GC or Gonzaga.

Prep boys overrated.

GP starters were winning a close one when the subs came in. Maybe up 1 or 2 at most.

Not true. Tied at best

PVI played freshmen throughout 5 quarters. GP’s depth questionable.

Nvmnd, it was a scrimmage , no score kept, GP must have secretly played lacrosse operatives that were merely there to meet the scrimmage agreement.::: it’s obvious that the parents, whom don’t play, don’t know how to play, couldn’t play not can they comprehend playing lacrosse know better….. I guess the spring season will start when the LAX experts on this forum allows it…
