I'm doing a bit of a survey and I'm looking for information about the most popular high school football teams in each state. Not sure how to go about finding this information, but perhaps someone here might have some insights?
The popularity of high school football teams is largely based on both school size and the team's performance history. This information can vary from season to season, and it's also common for several schools within each state to have closely-matched reputations for their football programs.
For instance, in Texas, high school football is hugely popular. Allen High School, Southlake Carroll, and Northern Shore are renowned for their success in recent years. In Florida, St. Thomas Aquinas High School and IMG Academy typically garner a lot of attention, while in California, schools like Mater Dei and De La Salle often dominate their divisions.
However, this is not an exhaustive list and would require more specific research for each individual state. Given that there's a fair degree of variation from year to year, your most reliable course of action would be to review recent state championships or consult with local sports reporters or athletic associations within each state for the most up-to-date and comprehensive information.
