Re: De La Salle High School football team\'s winning streak ends at 151
Having gone to a private Catholic school for both high school and middle school, I can tell you that De La Salle is in a much better position to field a superior football team than Joe Schmoe Public High. They are able to recruit players and their parents similar to what a college program would do. They also can give internal scholarships to fund their education. My high school won back to back state titles when I went there, and at one point was ranked 19th in the country. The only game they lost in my first 2 years there, they lost because most of the seniors were suspended (smashing pumpking on the school lawn). They met that team in the state championship and beat them 19-0. The opposing team didn't cross the 50 the whole game.
It isn't as impressive as De La Salle, but the 400 student private school can field a pretty good football, even if it is for longer than a decade!
