We had similar student support after our 2006 Rookie All-Star awards. Since then it's died down a bit in the student population, but the administration and county has slightly increased support (in the form of approving us to go places). After our rookie year, each year we have had about 5% of the school population apply (~100 kids out of 2000) for the team, and we accept as many as money or mentorship can handle.
