the public school kids gains from this.  they don't have to be used by the wealthy privates who just loves show their dominance AKA punahou.  why should the public school be a punching bag for those privates who go into their area and take out the best players.  and by the way, not sure if you are in the know or not, but there are many cases that once these private schools realize a certain recruit doesn't live up to their expectation all of a sudden their "financial aid" is cut and this poor kid has to return to public school.  outside of the 3 big sport, football, basketball, baseball, the privates dominate year after year with recruited players.  so I'm just saying let the privates play among themselves or maybe you @thull are one of those private school parents that just love to look down upon the publics.
