Won't list a top 5 but we tend to do a lot of games from FLA, TX and CA obviously. GA has been great and AZ is really up and coming. Unique thing about GA is football is very strong in the ATL area and down State as well. So many great games every week with strong crowds, high end recruits and great atmosphere. If i had to pick 1 state to do a already scheduled game from every week it would be GA or TX and then Miami-Dade area of FL followed by Southern Cal. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrepGridiron Posted December 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Really great stuff @Rashid One of the more in-depth discussions we've had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 Maybe for Texas have a doubleheader, and the host can be the away team for the 2nd TX team in the doubleheader in the 2nd year. That way both teams get their home games in the two year cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashid Posted December 18, 2019 Report Share Posted December 18, 2019 12 minutes ago, Columbiafan said: 2 questions One After last year with remote sites is there any consideration towards adding more games in the future? And two Is there any other sports you have looked into for post season bowls for? 1. Great thing about remote sites is atmosphere and crowd. Lee County was amazing! Biggest issue is last minute logistics not knowing who is going to win and then if they do will they host with sometimes a 1 week notice. If we can get enough States and financial backing the ultimate goal would be to have State to State Boarder Bowl with multiple classifications playing then take the top 4 teams to play in a doubleheader bowl. 2. Football is our second sports. We also run the GEICO Basketball Nationals in NYC every Spring. That event has helped determine the Mythical National Championship in boys hoops multiple times. We also have a 4 teams girls event where the 2 of the last 3 winners have been ranked #1 in the nation by USA Today or MaxPreps. Adding more spring sports is impossible due to graduation and State Championships almost 1 month apart. Other sports like soccer are played during different seasons State by State. We did start a baseball all-star game this summer between kids from the CPS, PSAL, CIFSS and Miami-Dade Schools and do run a 4 team Lacrosse Post-Season Championship as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly enjoyed the Lee County game! It truly was a great atmosphere, like many south Georgia schools experience week in and out. One of the more fun games I've ever attended because I wasn't emotionally invested, and I sat with the crazy SFA fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love me some Georgia, no doubt about it, but, I can appreciate a good conversation whether Georgia is involved or not. I know Rush had a love/hate with ESPN, personal relationships aside of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys gotta get the winnersville classic next year. Do it college game day style. The atmosphere when valdosta host is on of a kind. Also the history or the rivalry and same with valdosta vs colquitt that would be great to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course someone from Cali would say depth is overrated because Cali has no depth... Only 3, sometimes 4, stacked teams at the top and nothing else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many elite teams do most states have? 1 maybe 2. A couple states have more. What do we talk about here? Nationally elite teams right? Who cares what their #'s 6 and on do if they are not elite.

If some people wouldn't try to declare "state dominance" then, you are right, no one would care. For some reason, almost everyone wants to declare some form of state dominance based off of a win or two, so the debate into what makes a state more dominant rages on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only care about the relevant teams in each state. But, to each they own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
