They actually won the vaca state title last night. Smlca is part of my church. We have a brand new beautiful gym and church on 162 acres. Lots of interest this year from several public school players. His connection was family and getting out of CA. My understanding is he had a wrist injury and missed his sophomore year and veey little aau due to ca and covid. I dont know about offers but there is def interest from a half dozen or so schools.
This is some really good information. Thanks, Jinxy.
I'm in Illinois so not familiar with VA and how high school state tournament works. According to this article, there is a classification for Christian schools only (VACA) and 6 Classes within that.

Not trying to be a jerk, but that's not a high level of competition. The school has 73 kids in the entire high school. That's only 35-40 boys in the entire high school. They are playing other small schools like them - and only Christian schools. Not even the rural public schools. How many teams are even in the VACA Class 1 category?
In Illinois, there are only 4 classes (used to be 2 classes) for everyone. There are no special categories for private schools.
1A: up to 299.00,
2A: 299.01 to 697.00,
3A: 697.01 to 1635.00,
4A: 1635.01 and over
There are over 750 high schools in Illinois divided by four classes = 150 - 200 schools per class. Winning the state championship carries some weight if you are declared the best amongst 150-200 schools, public and private alike.
I'm not taking anything away from Cole Webster and his potential. I wish him nothing but the best. But I'm not super impressed with a VACA Class 1 state championship.
