Thanks for that insight, as I never knew programs like this existed who appears to have the sole purpose of acquiring talent in the surrounding area.  Never sits well with our program in retrospect losing to teams in a championship game that did it that way.  Reminds me of our losing to Flanagan HS in a similar fashion as well. 

The Broward event was never during the preseason week. It always counted as week 1 games 

Respectfully, this just isn't the way that high school sports are supposed to work. 

Don’t matter to me either way, long as we will. But for SOS purposes when it comes to playoff seeding I want the game to count. 

No, Rise Prep is a remote school where you typically dual enroll between online HS classes and Dade county community college classes, of which I'm sure most will choose the online DCCC class offerings.  Student athletes at RPA can then choose any school to play for.  This is how Broward athletes can attend.  While RPA seems legit academically, the sketchy part is their role in sports where they are nothing short of true hired guns sent to various teams in the area.  It just never "feels right" that a big portion of West Boca's team doesn't even attend West Boca.
