    St Paul a lower level team? A team that beat Loyola and played St. Francis and Upland down to the final minute? Either hate or a very foolish take.

    Any word if Bassett has a head coach I know it was offered with a teaching position. From league champs to no team? Wow. BUSD sure doesn’t think highly of athletic programs and paying their coaches

    Translated, Hernandez is begging kids to come play for St Paul, a program associated with the lower levels, or else no level whatsoever. I can see zero reason to burn cash on tuition when a college-connected guy like Mike Moschetti can promote you better, by way of playing a far more challenging schedule.
