Well said. Agree with your post. the smaller independent schools offer more opportunities for kids to get PLAYING TIME.

the competition in the WCAC is very strong and those schools recruit very hard across all sports [/quote]

Certainly this has been true traditionally.  But in certain sports certain independents have gotten the foolish idea that they should start quietly recruiting to model themselves after the Catholic schools in a limited number of high profile sports on the theory that everyone wants to play on a winning team, even if they only play 2 minutes.  I think it will backfire terribly for those schools pursuing this path -- I think many have to some extent pursued it  -- but it is a matter of degree. Do you recruit one or two "ringers" for a team or do you field an entire starting team of them.  The former I can see (but don't like), but the latter to me completely undermines one of the reasons some families elect independent schools -- like OP, they have a kid who wants to play.  [/quote]
