I do know that high school football is more important to Texans than Californians. I’m not sure what the statewide attendance is for high school games in either state but I’m sure it’s not even close. I believe last years CIF Championship between MD and Servite drew less than 10,000 fans. We get close or more than 10k in Texas at most regular season 6a games. I lived in California for 5 years prior to moving to Texas and I never once heard of people, who did not have kids playing, attend a high school football game. I moved to the Austin area in 2004 and almost immediately was going to high games I had no affiliation with.
Im not saying attendance makes Texas high school football better by itself but it sure helps to have that kind of support from your community. When you build all star teams that doesn’t happen
