re: Private HS's recruiting and giving scholarships competing with public schools

In Texas Private and Public schools play in different leagues, except for two school - Dallas Jesuit and Houston Strake Jesuit. They both play in public leagues but are required to play in the top division (6A). The cutoff for 6a is 2100 students. Strake Jesuit has approx. 1000 students (all boys) and plays in a district as follows:
Katy 3219.5
Katy Mayde Creek 3115
Katy Taylor 2979.5
Katy Cinco Ranch 3256.5
Katy Morton Ranch 3441
Katy Seven Lakes 3765
Katy Tompkins HS 1672

Strake made it to the playoffs for the first time in a long time this year.
