it is interesting to wonder what exactly goes on there from a social dynamic. with all the multi-sport talent there (and being so new), does the football team still walk around like the stars of the school like they would in 90% of normal high schools?

Yea absolutely, I played soccer and baseball there (eventually just baseball) and the baseball team was the shite when I was there and we were viewed a lot more favorably by the girls, or at least that's what we all thought and nobody was there to tell us otherwise. Honestly they put the tennis players in class with other tennis players, golfers in class with other golfers, etc. so there's really no such thing as social hierarchy there. They literally put you in a social bubble and pound into your brain for 12 hours a day that you're the most athletic, greatest human being ever born to (what I can only assume, to this day I don't know the real reason) get your confidence up so it'll translate to swagger on the field

is it so professionalized that they don't even give a shite?

Idk what you mean by this

how will this affect them on the field against the actual high schools they play? will they develop chemistry?

Hell yes, they go to school from like 8 AM-1 PM and train with their teammates from 2 PM-~9 PM every night, the team chemistry is unlike anything in the nation

this happens sometimes where kids are so worried about individual improvement that they forget it's a team sport, and also where high school seniors are just passing through for one year, kind of like it's a 6 month camp. Shea Patterson might be checking his phone for Calvary's score after games and get more excited for his former teammates than his own school's game.

maybe you'll say it's different, they're internally driven over there, but they don't play for championships. the team will be favored in every game they play so they can't even experience the thrill of an upset

and as for chemistry, it's common sense. kids thrown together in 6 months won't come close to kids that have literally grown up together
