When I came to this website 10+ years ago my motivation was to help my son get to the next level. I don't recall many discussion about HS games or kids names etc.back then. I am guilty about once posting about my son's college playoff game. In my mind the main purpose/discussion of HSBBW doesn't seem to be any different then 10 years ago, except the names have changed as have some of the recruiting rules and there's always somebody/people looking to burn the place down
We should have a "historical" not so golden threads titled "10 years ago today on the HSBBW" or "2004, I am right, you are wrong, your kid clearly made it to pro ball w/o any help from you don't even pretend to know anything" for the laughs.
btw:
Discussions about particular HS kids or HS teams always turn ugly, not sure I want to see another "NorCalPreps" here.
