I'm visiting my in laws in Texarkana Tx and I can't believe how well funded these teams are here.  The local HS team (Texas HS) even has an indoor practice facility!  Insane.  No wonder Texas cranks out the most college QBs with their well paid (and great) coaching staffs.  Florida, on the other hand, doesn't seem to compete with Texas, GA and CA top end teams despite having endless pools of talent to draw from.  I am stunned not only by the football funding here but the Texas educational funding in general is vastly superior to FL.  Why is FL so far behind in funding?  Do the public school football powers in FL supplement their coaching staffs pay from the boosters or something?  How can MNW afford Teddy Bridgewater as coach, for example?

Well, it is a football forum. So...

If they are a 3-5 star they attend Lakeland

Obviously, 2024 was a great year for this message board because the lessons taught by one of the smartest, and probably best-looking, posters will continue for now! You're welcome for my deciding to return and grace the message board with my presence, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! 

Gibbs is in a talent rich area.  Their new coach has to get those local kids to stay home instead of playing for CCC, Calvary, or Lakewood.
