I cannot quote you the names, but every single one of them has a strong family tie to the school. The most recent addition to the team was the Stewart girl, (as an 8th grader) her mother is a teacher at the school, and from what he said came from a large family of Ryan graduates.

The private schools are all located in cities with Class A schools. The kids grow up playing traveling basketball with and against Class A guys. They can go to the Y and play against some other players that can at least bring some competition. In some cases, players who would be marginal Class A players transfer to play Class B where they can get minutes and be successful.
Just as an example for boys, right now, the sophomores at Oak Groves are likely the best sophomores on any team in Fargo.
As another example, say you are a guy that plays for Shiloh who is from Bismarck. You likely grew up going to Shiloh camps, Bismarck camps, Century camps, Mandan camps, and YMCA camps. You played on a team with some kids who will end up being solid guys at some of the schools in the area. You get to high school age, and are still playing pick up with these guys a few times a week. Then you start going to noonball during summers and playing against current and former college players 4 times a week. You go to the Y at 7:00 during summers and play against more players at the Y 4 times a week. During the fall season, if you don't play a sport, or if you are a big basketball guy, you are still at the Y everyday playing with all of the other guys in the area who are big basketball guys, and play five on five everyday. It really is a never ending cycle.
Now compare that to a team in the middle of nowhere where you have a gym, and maybe one other guy who takes the game seriously. You won't have as many opportunities to be put in game situations. You can get very good playing in a gym by yourself, but for 99% of people, you need someone to help you take your game to the next level, and competition does that.

these kids get the best of the best
access to facilities alone is huge, any kid that sets any scoring record in ND (private or public) has had much more access to a gym than Jon Doe who couldn't get in a gym if he tried to.
It still takes tradition and a good club though

I hope by that you mean that the public school has an overabundance of dollars compared to the private school. If you meant it the other way around you would be quite inaccurate. Private Schools often operate with 1/2 to 2/3 the budget a similar sized public school does.
I couldn't agree with you more about tradition and program.
