High School Football

Buford HS in Buford, GA are tied for fourth with 43

Had 47 in a row a little over a decade ago.

I can say with certainty that South Florida schools like St Thomas Aquinas, Booker T Washington, American Heritage, etc. would beat Edgewood Academy, Christ Church, and pretty much any other high school team in the country

I disagree.

Edgewood Academy would lose if they played an AHSAA school of any caliber. They play in the AISA, which is possibly the poorest level of organized scholastic sports in America.

The top private schools in the state play in the AHSAA with a 1.3 enrollment index. A handful (I think about 50) schools are still playing in their own league, and it is pitiful.

On a side note, I was at the game when the South Panola (Miss.) 89-game win streak ended. It took a game of their life from every Meridian player and South Panola botched an extra point to send it to overtime, where the worst coaching decision in MHSAA State Championship Game history occurred.

South Panola had a offensive line with four future D-I players and a running back that was slicing Meridian's defense to shreds. 1st and goal - 9 yard run to the 1.
2nd and Goal - Pass that resulted in a sack back to the 13. Meridian was able to stop them on 3rd and 4th down, but they had missed the OT extra point, so that streak would have reached 100 if not for that coaching blunder.

Also, I can say with certainty that South Florida schools like St Thomas Aquinas, Booker T Washington, American Heritage, etc. would beat Edgewood Academy, Christ Church, and pretty much any other high school team in the country. The south Florida high school football players are a different breed.

Lowndes had a down year

I don't have a dog in the fight but you are correct that Allen will be a madhouse tonight. I went to the stadium opener two years ago when Allen played Southlake Carroll (Kenny Trill vs. Kyler Murray). Unbelievable crowd size. Many colleges would live to have that many people.

Still trying to make up my mind on where I will go tonight.

Euless Trinity plays De La Salle from California tomorrow but it will be on ESPN 2.

Buford would be the most years. Maybe not by 30 but they would still beat them most years. Year in and year out, Buford is the best team in Ga.

Any of em. Nothing better that Friday nights in Texas.

What area are you in?

Oh, another fun one will be southlake. They are headed down to Austin against Westlake for those in that area.

I'm a Hoover High grad and they have won 3 straight state titles. Last year they got stomped by Miami Central. It's very interesting how those S Florida schools all have such top talent.
