High school football is starting to look like high school basketball ... Private schools dominate because of recruiting all star teams

 

[btango]

I think some private schools also have other advantages some public schools do not have. Finances allow them to do much more and have much more, whether it is assistants, facilities, travel to camps, get professional trainers, et al.

There is a discrepancy between publics as well. Even from SC schools to NC. One thing that hurts SC right now is they did away with the 8 quarter rule. Even with larger schools that can be a big coaching / experience tool.

Tulsa Union's gym is used for a D1 college basketball tournament. Allen has a stadium that is better than most FCS teams. Most all of the schools are in large metro areas.

American Heritage is a private, so 12 in top 25 & 3 in top 10 is correct. Also, saw Judson on TV and can't remember seeing a team with so much blazing speed mixed with great size. I would love to see that team in person.
