This would be an issue for every state in America except Hawaii and Alaska.
How do the other states who have such honors handle this issue? How do the states, like Maryland, who are represented in the Sunbelt Classic (Texas, Florida, Ohio, Oklahoma, California, Arizona, Georgia) each June for the past 40 years, handle this issue for "border" players?
I see your point, and appreciate the talent of the players you are promoting, but this state high school coaches association first needs to get better representation from it's own coaches to nominate and support deserving players before worrying about the players attending high school in other states or DC.
