Can't speak for all the boys or how all parents run their families. But from what I know of this team and my own son, academics are always first. Before sports, before community service, before xbox...
Most of the boys on the team fit the above and the reason they are getting the looks they are getting is strictly due to their work ethic, both on the field and off.
All the schools we visited before choosing were very clear on the role of academics and if anything, made my son see that what we have been preaching for years holds true.
So, for the guy concerned about the LI express team one kids having to scramble for colleges because the kids didn't keep their grades up, please spend your time worrying about your own son/daughter...but the advice is nonetheless taken in the spirit in which it was given. thank you...
