[quote=Anonymous]Parents of older kids tell me that by junior/senior year, maybe only one or two players are taking honors or AP courses in our FCPS publics. Not sure if that’s more true of the sport or sports in general today. The implication was that the better HS athletes don’t have time to focus on academics these days. They either drop the classes or leave the team. I was surprised, as it was t that way when I played in HS. Anecdotally I was coaching a rec team in another sport. The league had a kid who wanted to coach but preferred to pair him up with an adult, so I said he could coach with me. Turns out his parents made him drop varsity basketball, so he could focus on academics (he was an A student (senior) in honors/APs). Is this really what it’s like around here? Or maybe it’s just the people I know.[/quote]
