I believe my state (New Jersey) has a rule -- or used to have a rule -- that's even more restrictive than that . . . it says a high school student is ineligible to play even as an 18 year-old if he/she turns 19 during that academic year.

What's becoming more and more clear to me over time is that these sports programs should be run completely independently of schools. In fact, I think we're starting to see a serious move towards this kind of paradigm right now.

Where we live, I’ve heard that college scouts don’t even really go to high school games except for football. Kids might play for the high school, but the serious baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey, lacrosse, cheerleading people are doing travel or club. The scouts go to those tournaments in greater numbers and frequency.
