Jr National Showcase or Academic Showcase?

JLC1,000+ posts

I can only send my son to one showcase in the next year. Of the two showcases, which would be a better showcase for him? I am not sure what the criteria is to qualify for the Jr. National but he has done pretty well this year so I am anticipating that he might have the opportunity.

Here is my quandry. He plays football in the fall, not baseball, and with the Jr National being in Dec, I am not sure if he will have enough time to get to the top of his game in a month. If we wait for the Academic in May, that comes right after his high school season, so he should be pretty sharp. Any thoughts? (after reading this back, it kinda seems like a no brainer but what do I know)
