Saipan,
I understand your point. No lack of respect for those programs here. Great baseball tradition at Great Bridge. State championship trophies reside at Great Bridge too. Coach Lee at Great Bridge does an excellent job. Wiley gets the most out of his players; Believe me, he will teach his kids how to manufacture runs and win games. Roland Wright at Western Branch worked under Wiley for several years and I'm sure plays a similar style of baseball. Shaun Todd has an up and coming program at Grassfield. All of these programs are quite good.
Unfortunately the tuition at Christian Schools are a little steep for me, I would love my kids to a Christian school. What about Indian River?
Indian River (Coach Steve West) has built up a good problem over the past couple of years. They were very talented last year and have a nice core coming back this year with probably one of the top five pitchers in the area as their ace. They will contend again for the Southeastern Title.
I wondered how long this thread would go on without mentioning Indian River. Indian River is the defending district champion. The year before, they won the district tournament.
My only advice would be to check out everything...besides the baseball program, you need to look into the academics. While I'm a firm believer that a motivated kid (supported by parents) can excell academically just about anywhere, there are certainly schools that make it easier (and more difficult). Don't base your decision on baseball alone. Good luck with your decision.
An interesting note: Former Indian River assistant Varsity & 6-yr JV baseball coach Larry Bowles, who had a major impact in developing the players (especially pitchers) for Steve West, was selected to be the new Varsity baseball coach at Oscar Smith in October. In addition, Oscar Smith HS received official authorization & currently offers the highly prestigous INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE DIPLOMA PROGRAM ... a fantastic honor & meritorous benefit to all Chesapeake students!
