According to the recent National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) participation data there are 1,097,597 high school football players playing on 14,241 (11-player) high school football teams across the nation.
And USA TODAY High School Sports ranks Miami (FL) Central as the best team in the nation? USA Today must have a lot of people watching a lot of high school games, a task made especially difficult given that some high school some teams have yet to play a game this season.
After years of a mostly media-manufactured "crisis" concerning the crowning of a national champion in NCAA Division I football are we as a nation going to have to suffer through an even more ridiculous debate over the annual Number 1 high school football team in the country?
Probably.
