So it's "D" for a dynasty...I'd be curious to hear from DSM area members what the real explanation is for this "dynasty".

Hard work, dedicated and supportive parents, good coaching. Hard to overcome the fact that Dowling, unlike public schools, can't count on captive students or tax money. Whining losers will claim Dowling recruits. Of course they do. Every kid from the starting quarterback to the tubs players to the kids who are into role playing games. Every student at Dowling either wants to be there or has parents who want him there, and are willing to sacrifice for it. So either raise kids who will make the sacrifices necessary to win or just keep whining. Your choice.
