And while we're at it, let's not forget Northwestern with the W over SLC back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the best facilities and coaches. Football in Florida is a religion. You are born into it and grow up with it. Just because you produce more NFL talent doesn't mean FL HS football is better. I'll give you IMG in terms of facilities, but I know, I know, FL doesn't claim IMG since no one from FL can beat IMG. And coaching? Please. CA's best coaches are the best in the nation, hands down. In terms of the religion thing, that's TX, not FL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know Bishop Gorman, right? The Bishop Gorman that waltzed into Texas, and took 2-1/2 quarters to pull away from the might longhorns. The Bishop Gorman who walked into Florida and smashed Cocoa and beat St. Thomas Aquinas on their own field. The Bishop Gorman that walked right into California and beat the big, bad Trinity League & #1 ranked California State champion, Thing 2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but BG barely squeaked out a W vs STA in Vegas, not FL. The same BG that MD dominated in '17 and thoroughly embarrassed in '18. That BG? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Katy took care of business against Bellevue back when the Wolverines were a recruited up team. If I remember correctly Bellevue beat Euless Trinity back in those days.

ATXNow Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you build all star teams that doesn’t happen TX lost by 42 to CA last season. And it may be worse this season with SJB/Allen. Supposed top teams from top states can't lose that bad. Average attendance and stadium size doesn't make a state better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXNow Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, California may have the best high school football team but that doesn’t necessarily make them the best state for high school football. It’s a lot more others things factor into it. California is very top heavy. From top to bottom, from 6A to six-man…Texas and Florida are definitely at the top. It’s not all about all-star football teams. It might be for those who are into national elites but that’s not everybody’s cup of tea. I’m sure some of that has no relevance for a team like Carthage, Shiner, Refugio, for example. (Which I’m very sure you’re not very familiar with most of those teams, nor do you care.) That’s like saying that Maryland is the best state for HS football simply because they’re home to SFA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Since71 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I’m going with Texas from top to bottom.California had maybe 4 teams better than anyone in Texas last year but I think after that things turn towards Texas. Not sold on Florida being better than California at this point and Georgia is a distant 4th to the other 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXNow Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they should with massive amounts of data that gets poured in every year. I'm less concerned with them predicting winners of competitive games and more concerned with the inability to distinguish between the Rochesters and Loyolas. To be fair, our journalists do the same thing at the end of seasons ignoring the common sense they were using prior to playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
