The difference between the two is that Phil inherited teams with those players while Curtis built his program from the ground up.

No, the difference is that John Curtis wins championships with a stacked deck because he plays in 2A (or whatever lower classification they are in...).

This is a John Curtis and Evangel problem, plain and simple. I don't have any stats, but somebody in this thread mentioned that Curtis has been to 17 straight title games in their class. If that is accurate, or even remotely close to being accurate, then I really don't know what to say to people who don't see the problem .

I don't know the solution, but there obviously is a problem. Perhaps they need to force successful private schools to play all the way up in football. I don't know how you determine that, perhaps it could be done based on winning a couple state titles in a 5 year span, or some other predetermined objective criteria designed to address the issue.

To make that work, they would have to decide whether the top class is in 5A with other public 5A teams, or whether that is in 6A with some public teams (I'm not sure how this determination would be made or whether it would be optional). I'd probably favor some type of 6A mix of select public and private, but I haven't given it much thought.
