How should the high court decide?
I do not know the issues being discussed in this lawsuit. And I do not know the laws of each state and I am not a lawyer.

My state has had private and public schools playing against each other for over well over 30 years.

And I do not see why this would be any different than Notre Dame, Stanford, Boston College or Duke playing the Michigan, Florida, North Carolina and UCLA teams of the college world. And from what I understand most HS associations do not separate the private schools from the public schools in any competition.

Peace
