Stadium wars

As Texas high school football grows, so do facilities.

Texas high school football has long hailed the mantra that bigger is better, and that idea has resonated throughout the sport in almost every way possible. The Lone Star State has always basked in the glory that the sheer size of the sport entails. And that’s because we are bigger – Texas boasts over 1,400 high school teams, the largest talent pools in the nation (think of the mega-schools in the Plano Independent School District) and consistently the largest recruiting classes the NCAA has ever seen. We aren’t shy about the religion of football either, so often times stories that entail Texas high school football make their way onto national news scene and into our movie theatres, where outsiders can revel in the religion of high school football with us.
