I just think our high schools here match up in size with the Ohio high schools. Ohio doesn't have any high schools with enrollments of 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000 and even 7000 students like Texas. Springfield, OH, who played St Edward for the Ohio D1 Title this year has an enrollment of 1700. That's Louisiana size. I don't see why we couldn't deal with that. Colerain has an enrollment of just under 1800.... and etc Louisiana is a TINY state, people just don't know how small it is. WE have more alligators than people here, nah> just kidding about that. We do have over over 2 million alligators here though, some say more. Only 4.6 million people. Louisiana 5A State Champ game Team enrollments this year.

Looks like in the following states they would fall in the following classifications. TX 4A, FL 4A, GA 3A I would not be surprised if they would be a perennial state title contender in any state when competing against comparably sized schools.

The real number is the amount of football participants the schools have. Round here we have schools with 1000 less students than another school but 50 more players in the football program. I am sure it can be like that in other places as well. Keeping this talking about public schools because obviously privates schools can build good teams with a much lower student body count for obvious reasons.

For instance, there are large schools with predominantly Hispanic student populations that do poorly in football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
