You keep alluding its better coaching in the private schools. And yes, there are some long term successful public school programs. You best example is SMNW Cross Country. But, looking at the history of state championships--I do not see SMNW championships in other sports. As for Hutchinson football, see no history other than football of championships in any other sport.
That precisely supports my point that much of the time great coaches have created all these long term success records. The very fact that SMNW and Hutchinson are not winning state championships in other sports supports the fact that it a big part of their success can be contributed to Van Rose in SM Northwest in cross country and Randy Dreilling is football. The same can also be said that great coaches like Terry English Bishop Miege basketball who has been there over thirty years with a similiar record to Van Rose's at SM Northwest and Gwen Pike in volleyball at Miege have also contributed significantly to their success. I am very confident that Bishop Miege would not have nearly the amount of girls basketball or volleyball titles without Terry English and Gwen Pike coaching there. I am also extremely confident that Hutchinson would not have won six straight football titles with Randy Dreiling coaching there.
