Did some digging today. Please see the link below:

Transfers by SoCal Trinity League School:
Mater Dei- 71 (article states there is actually more!)
OLU- 63
Santa Margarita- 51
J Serra- 49
SJB- 47
Servite- 26
I think this puts into perspective some of the pettiness for NorCal schools like DLS or Folsom who may have 2-3, if any on any given year. Here we are, throwing stones for 2 or 3 kids moving to attend a public school as freshman (who aren't even considered transfers), when MD is touting more than SEVENTY ONE (legit) transfers this year. Meaning, SEVENTY ONE kids that DID NOT attend that HS as freshman.
We are asking our NorCal schools public and private to "step up" and play the schools above, yet we cry and moan when one of them gets a transfer or two, or parents decide to move prior to the start of HS so their kids won't have to go through the transfer process. Then people throw stones, basically saying- "You have to play these schools! And you must play with homegrown kids or else YOU SUCK! No excuses!" I think this is the most interesting part.
I think this adds some perspective to some of the silliness we have brought upon ourselves on the board, and also lets us know just what we are dealing with down south. The rules are the exact same throughout CA, but as you can tell by the sediment of NorCal fans on this board, the thinking is VERY different.
Thoughts?
