Thanks, strohs. I figured it had to be the wing offense at Watterson.....The eagles have been running wing variations for decades, even back when I was at Watterson in the late '60s....Not the kind of offense for a throwing qb like Brady Quinn. Go Bucks! Go Eagles!strohs said:

Wolverine is largest member of weasel family
Is that 247 the total school population or just the seniors? Also, is it co-ed?

Thanks for the info. I assumed the school had to be larger than 250 kids, but I know nothing about Columbus Catholic schools.

money was not an issue with the three quinn families (brady, chris, laura)
interesting test scores. i still stand with my statement about the dublin school district. look at state testing it holds its own with any public school district.
anyone who has never had the pleasure to meet brady is missing out. as good as hes been on the field this year he is that good or better of a person.

It also helps that the average age of someone living in Dublin is somewhat young compared to other districts, say like my hometown Gahanna. Our city was fairly old and therefore we had trouble passing levies. Dublin rarely has this problem.

I'm sure Coffman, Scioto, and Jerome are fine public schools. Your comment about Watterson's "decline," however, has absolutely no foundation in facts. That Watterson's enrollment has been rock solid for more than 50 years is testament enough to the academic quality and reputation of the school. There is, as well, a legacy of football excellence at Watterson that began with a 1966 coaches' poll state championship (Watterson 32 Upper Arlington 0) and has continued through the years of the Harbin ratings. Brady probably would have had many more yards running than passing had he chosen to attend Watterson, I admit, but he'd also have had a leg up on some of the theology classes he has to take at Notre Dame.jimotis4heisman said:

With money not being an issue, Brady very well could have had a tutor from his parish helping him with the theology lessons while he was attending Coffman.
There could be many factors why Brady's parents chose for him to go to Coffman over Watterson. Maybe the looked into it and his parents didn't get the right vibe from someone at Watterson. Maybe they figured that they are spending near $400 a month (or more) in property taxes (like I do in Hilliard) and it would be a crime for him to not attend the school their money is going to. It could be as simple as he wanted to go to school with his friends from his neighborhood and grade school.
When my wife and I lived in Columbus, we considered private school for our kids to avoid the Columbus school system. It isn't the worst in the world (That would be where I grew up) but it certainly isn't optimum either. We chose instead to bite the bullet and buy a house in Hilliard where the academic rating is considerably better and switchblades aren't accessories for 3rd graders. Our oldest is now a second grader in Hilliard and is excelling at every level.
Who knows why Brady went to Coffman. Why isn't Haywood attending Ready instead of Hilliard Davidson? Duke and Iowa are recruiting him just the same so it doesn't matter. Why aren't some Brookhaven kids attending DeSales?

Interesting perspective, scooter....Thank the good Lord, many Catholic families find ways to deal with the substantial financial burden of Catholic school tuition. I am fortunate enough to be not only a member of such a family but a Catholic school insider for 50 years (a student at each academic level, a high school English and Religion teacher, coach, moderator, administrator). It has been a privileged position, I think, and through it I have grown to appreciate, in profound ways, the intangible values and spirit manifested in a Catholic school community...scooter1369 said:
The history of Catholic education in the U.S. is a very interesting read, scooter, but it is inextricably bound to the history of public education. Why and how Catholic schools make a difference in our country are topics yet to be fully articulated in the public domain....For Catholic school insiders, they are already operative values.
As you probably have guessed, scooter, I am firmly convinced of the value of a Catholic high school education. That conviction lay at the root of my initial query about Brady Quinn...and it is really an open question, one extending beyond the football field.

To the anonymous responder wondering about the SAT and ACT data I posted on Dublin schools and Watterson.....
"I don't like when people only show the statistics to back up their point. You show 2003 SAT score for Dublin, but no 2003 SAT score for Bishop. Then you show 2004 SAT score for Bishop, but no 2004 SAT score for Dublin. Your point gets shaded by..."
The internet is a great way to access data....but it does have its limitations. I posted the data that each website (Dublin Public School District and Bishop Watterson High School) made available. Nothing selective on my part, my friend.

Brady's sister
Has any one ever seen Brady's sister, I heard she is $$. Someone that went to school with them said she is some kind of model in NY.
