Yes - and I think our coaches and team were glad to have him.

Ours is a "Laboratory School," part of the UF Department of Education, and the goal is to have the school's population reflect the county's population in terms of diversity of income, academic abilities/disabilities, race, gender, etc. It's a great school academically because they are using the latest teaching methods, they have fairly small class size, and a higher ratio of teachers with advanced degrees, and you never hear about the crazy things that go on at bigger schools every day. It's not private, but you have to apply, and to be accepted, there has to be an opening for a person like you.

Unfortunately, baseball talent is not one of the criteria. Fortunately for us, there was an opening for someone like him. This young man got cut from a much bigger program. He did have to sit out a year due to FHSAA transfer rules, but was able to make a very significant impact at our school his senior year. He did get a scholarship offer, but he is not on the roster at that school's website. So I'm not sure what happened to him.
