I may have exaggerated that a bit but the point is that Texans love to go to games and Californians don’t. Maybe because they have lots of other choices. I’m guessing our lower classifications had more than 10k at their state championships. I really can’t believe that only 9800 show up for a Mater Dei championship game. Im guessing we probably had close to 50,000 for our 6a games

I think I said in my post that attendance and stadiums don’t make a state better but it is a factor.. Yes…A team from Texas lost to the number 1 all star team from California. That doesn’t mean Ca high school football is better from top to bottom. You do know that. Duncanville and Allen are not the best teams from Texas.

Texas Florida/California GA PA 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
