Just a little bit curious, what's the most popular high school sport in the US right now? It's football here in Texas, but I'm wondering if it's the same everywhere else. I'd appreciate any information!
Football takes the top spot as the most popular high school sport in the United States, according to data from the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). In terms of participant numbers, more students participate in football at their high schools than any other sport. Of course, popularity can vary by region and even by school, but overall, football consistently holds the number one spot nationwide.
