Very surprised at these comments. Jase started at Aledo BFORE middle school. Want to know why families move to Aledo so their boys can play football? Academic rating. Guys, admit it, momma drives the boat and if the academic standard was low (Aledo is a de facto prep school like SLC and HP) momma would not allow a move. Just ask Johnathan Gray's mother (sweet lady, BTW). But here is why they win. I did an interview with Coach Buchanan and asked the same question for the article's sake and he had a very interesting and profound answer. "The parents let us push the kids hard, really hard, and you don't get that at most other schools." There you have it. Conspiracy theories now shot to the ground.
