Picking a high school to play sports

I ran into a mother at sport chalet today whose 14yr kid was playing football for a christian school. She mentioned she was thinking about going to a local popular school next year that has been very successful in football over that last couple of years in this area for more exposure for her sons football talents. She is thinking in the correct way if football is a big part of their high school plans. But, let me add a little more to this. First off be sure to do your home work. some high school coach's do nothing for there players futures (like the one she wants to go to). You want to find a school where the coach's will help your kid get into a good college.
