    How did Monteverde become such a behemoth in basketball and why don't they also have football?

    They paid Kevin Boyle around $750,000 a year to become their coach, and they gave him the money to recruit players. After a while, everyone wanted to play for Kevin Boyle because he is an incredible developer of basketball talent. The place in Ohio is likely paying Boyle more than he was getting from MontVerde and, I also believe, is putting a ton of money into their sports programs.

    Did flagg’s parents move or are they still in Maine? How did he pay to live why going to Montverde?

    Flagg’s parents did move to Orlando to be with Cooper and Ace last year. Ace transferred to a private school this year near Durham, so that the parents could watch them both play without having to travel far. Ace has committed to play at University of Maine and the parents plan on moving back home to Newport Maine. The money comes internally from people connected with the school.
