This is insane to me that people think this.

Folks, the high school sports crowd are the partiers.  Wake up![/quote]
Yes!! Play hard, party harder, anyone? The jocks make substance abuse a badge of honor. Definitely for alcohol anyway.[/quote]

Well, there is a big difference between the football/lacrosse crowds and the cross-country/tennis crowds.  Choose your sports wisely![/quote]

While I’m hoping that you’re right bc DS runs XC, DH was a state-ranked cross-country runner in HS and disputes this.  I dated a tennis player in college and he was definitely a partier starting in HS.[/quote]

I think times have changed. [b] Competition is much tougher these days, and there is definitely a "your body is a temple" mindset. [/quote][/b]

LOL.  We live in a very sports oriented town.  I have one recent HS grad and another in the thick of it.  I can promise you that certain high profile sports teams (who are also sending kids to college as recruited athletes) are the source of the biggest parties.[/quote]

nearly all of the UMC towns with strong school systems I'm familiar with are sports focused

A "sports oriented town"? Pick a better place to live, PP. [/quote][/quote]
