Comparison of Top Football States

Data below came from Maxpreps.  Check out Texas.  One has to wonder if this is a reflection of kids not feeling a need to seek out private schools for better coaching, resources, exposure, etc.  California has 5 Catholic schools in the Top 100, Ohio has 4, and Florida has 2.   Interestingly, Texas has a large Catholic population(much larger than Ohio and Florida) and a large number of Catholic schools, yet none of them them show up on the list, and there is only 1 private school from Texas on the list.  Likewise, the biggest talent in Texas is coming from the public schools.  As I have mentioned in other posts, Texas citizens pay big property taxes to support the public schools, so maybe they feel more invested.  And I probably wouldn't being going out on a limb saying that community support in Texas, as a whole, blows away Florida.
