[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone want to drive to practice in PG county multiple times a week when they live in Nova? Thats insane.[/quote]

In my friend’s case if they’re good enough, 8th grade is so important for high school recruiting. Driving to MD 2 nights a week which isn’t bad if you’re coming from Alexandria to Ft Washington and the exposure of that team and coach’s connections can get you recruited for a top 5 private with generous aid.[/quote]

Most of Nova isn't tiny Alexandria. No one sane is driving from Loudoun, Vienna, Centreville, Gainesville etc to PG for basketball practice. A kid who is good enough to play with a top HS team will get recruited whether he plays for the Stars (their rising 8th team is not good BTW, OP) or with a bunch of PG superstars. And, OP never said that was her goal. It is nearly impossible to make the best teams. She should aim lower.[/quote]

Hence why there is nobody from Gainesville being recruited to play at top private school. It’s fine, that kid can play for Nova 94 and go to tier local high school. Just didn’t know what level the OP’s kid is on. [/quote]
Nobody from Gainesville? You don’t know what your are talking about.  PVI has a big man from Gainesville right now.  They also have a rising 7th grader who can go wherever he wants.  The kid plays for the Gainesville travel team right now[/quote]
