WANDO COACH QUITS TODAY

[Fortfor5]

I dont know what the problem at Wando is. Hard to have a school that large and be that bad year, after year. NW should be an OK place after they sweep some of the damage done over the last few years out of the door. But even at that, not sure NW, or Rock Hill for that matter, will be a power program anytime soon. South Pointe sucks up all the athletes, and once Legion gets really cranked up they will start pulling select kids from all.

For many of the best athletes in Rock Hill, Legion isn't a viable solution as many parents aren't going to want to send their kids to a school without free/reduced lunch. Legion is doing most damage to area soccer and baseball programs.

THIS! Folks forget about the income bracket for Rock Hill's best athletes versus Mt. Pleasant and Lexington/West Columbia. From my understanding, Legion is pulling from one of the "poorest" parts of Rock Hill in terms of where its campus is being built, versus Oceanside and Gray which pull from Mt. Pleasant and Lexington mainly.
The free/reduced lunch is a big deal, but posters on here ignore basic economics, instead think what works in one area of the state, will work everywhere. Football/basketball will not see major issues, however, as pointed out above, soccer and baseball will see a hit as soon as this season likely.

Think your under estimating how many non dorchester(forts district is dorchester county fo folks that dont know) county north Charleston kids go to oceanside.but yeah wando caused those kids to go to oceanside by letting thier program become a joke.that friends and family plan killed them.its bad when kt pleasants best come to north Charleston to play sports for better competition.

Maybe so, but its obvious you are grossly underestimating how poor, for the most part, the top football players are.
To your point about Dorchester county, if a parent is able to drive their child over to Mt Pleasant for school/practice/etc, it is unlikely that he/she is at the level that they need free/reduced lunch. In morning traffic, that is easily an hour, one-way trip.

Yeah i may be to a degree i only know who i know.
I knew atleast 4 that went there for baseball .i think wandos opportunity to b3come a football powerhouse died a decade ago.maybe a little more.
As for vs rock hill and mt pleasant .im not familar with rock hills
Income average .but im sure mt plastic surpasses it in general.

Fair enough. The point trying to be made is Legion will struggle to pull the best talent in Rock Hill due to the free/reduced lunch availability at Rock Hill schools versus Charter schools.
Charter school students do not have free/reduced lunch opportunities nor do they have access to the school bus systems. Those are critical for low income students to attend.
