Yes stallion they did pick up a few players... from where...I do not know but they have a good football team without a doubt. I think two of their new guys came from Dillon HS and are sitting out games for 60 days but even without them, they are going to be a factor in 1A again this year if they stay healthy.

Isn't this what they are supposed to do? Isn't "picking up" students from other schools the whole job of the admission's director of every SCISA school?

Dillon Christian was probably one of the better teams in A last year. I actually feel that their weakness is coaching sometimes. They were pretty young and should be very good this year, I just don't think they'll be as good as '06. I don't any team last year was as good as either Dorchester/Dillon Christian in '06. And nor will they be this year.

Yes it is, and its the job for wealthy boosters to pay for them to attend!

Dont mind them KSU, its always like that with guys from the backwoods schools who have nothing to offer except that they are the all white school in town.

Sure, all we have to offer is a duel enrollment program which sends our AVERAGE graduate to college with 24 hours, and our top grads with 36 hours credit.
And our Arabic, African-American, Hispanic, and Indian ( both Hindu and native) students would be really supprised to know they attended an all white school.

Mommy and daddy pays . Like it or not, true or not, DCA has a reputation of wealthy boosters paying for ATHLETES to attend to help their sports teams.

You mean to tell me that none of the minorities you mentioned are on any kind of financial aid?

It is silly to single out DCA for that. Every school in SCISA has the reputation of wealthy boosters paying for athletes. Just ask the public school in their area.

Any school that accepts donations from private individuals could theoretically be accussed of it. The fact is, anybody that donates any money to a private school is considered a booster. If the school puts that money into their endowment that covers financial aid, then that money is "paying for athletes" that are on financial aid.

It is true that some schools have more "wealthy" boosters than others. I would guess that the Hilton Head Schools have more "wealth" than Thomas Heyward does. But the tuition is very different also.

Tuition at Hilton Head Prep is just under 15,000 per year for 7-11th grades and just under 16,000 for seniors.

If a "booster" has two kids in school and then has to pay for another child to attend to play football, that "booster" is paying about $180,000 over the 4 years of high school. That does not include the middle school years. I don't care how much money you have, $60,000 to send a kid to high school just to watch him play hs football is VERY expensive.

Thats exactly what i mean to tell you, none of the minority students recieve financial aid. And I consider it racist to assume that they would need to.
There is a world of difference between someone who contributes to a financial aid fund where the criteria is based on need, and an idividual paying for an athlete to attend, as you imply the Hilton head schools do.
Rightly or wrongly, that is the reputation some schools have ( including Dillon ).

First of all, I don't care what you consider racist. I assume 60 percent of all students in SCISA receive some kind of financial aid which is what is reported every year. That means if you have 10 minorities, it is safe to assume 6 will receive some form of financial aid. Just the same is true for any random selection of 10 white kids.

Second, there is NO difference between someone to contribute to a financial aid fund and what you suggest. The reason being is that it is absolutely illegal for any booster to pay for any individual that is not his child's tuition. ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY that is donated by a booster has to go into the schools financial aid fund. ALL FINANCIAL AID in SCISA is need based. No schools give out athletic scholarships.

Third, I never implied anything about the Hilton Head Schools except that they have a few more wealthy constituents than some other schools. I used the Hilton Head schools as an example of the differences in tuition just because I live here and know what the tuitions are. I don't know how you make an inference that because I said Hilton Head Prep has a higher tuition than Thomas Heyward Academy, it means I think HHP has boosters paying for it's athletes to attend. That is absurd.

But you are correct about one thing, right or wrong, some schools have the reputation of paying for athletes. I think it depends on which part of the state you are in as to which schools get that reputation. In the lowerstate, some schools that people talk about having that reputation are Spartanburg Christian, Laurens Academy and Ben Lippen. I am sure that people in the other parts of the state have different schools in their lists.

1. 60% of all SCISA students receive financial aid? Help me out by posting where that is stated on the SCISA web site, because I can't find that particular item.

2. Only a parent can pay the tuition for a student? So a grandparent, uncle or anyone else can't pay tuition? Please show me where that is posted on the SCISA web page.

Now you're discussing facts Wesley!!
Please don't confuse him with those.
Being one of those public school guys myself, I have never heard LA accused of paying kids to come there from our school.
Maybe that is why we don't lose more than we do because financial aid for athletes isn't an issue there.
DANG a christian school being ran for the right reasons.

GO CRUSADERS!!!
