In MS thet school systems are separate. Private schools will play public schools sometimes, just to have a game. They do not play very often. The private schools are small and teh "gene pool" is limited. The bulk (no pun intended) of the students are in public school. There are some exceptions around Jackson and up towards Memphis. However, the systems are separate to the best of my knowledge.
This is my take on any state. If the schools are separate, they ALL should be separate. If you let this school in or that one in, you are showing favoritism to a school b/c they have lots of $$. That's not fair to the other schools that may be smaller or have less funds available. If you let one in, let them all in. If you choose to have them separate, tehy all should be separate. In your case, maybe the state could consider eliminating the separation and have "everyone play everyone." But the question is this: How do the other private schools feel about it?
