High School is 7A.
I don't have a dog in the fight. But Lousiana high school football in 2A is better than Alabama 7A.

You're an idiot then.

We're talking about Bama High School ball not Texas bro. 7A ball in Bama is equivalent to 2 or 3A in LA. D1 recruits flock from those classifications in LA

Didn't 2A John Curtis travel up to Hoover and after an early deficit, score 28 unanswered on the 5A Bucs? On national television? With what was essentially a claim for a national high school championship on the line?

Read the thread. We've already discussed the night Joe McKnight ran wild. Don't get why it keeps getting mentioned. Hoover also has quality wins over South Panola, Byrnes, and many other high quality programs throughout the country in the last 10 years.

Unless you think that Conference USA was just as good as the SEC when UAB walked into Tiger Stadium in 2000 and beat LSU?
Or when LAMO walked into Bryant Denny and took down the Tide?
Or when Ga Southern walked into the Swamp and upset the Gators?

Hoover HS is the best public HS in the state,
and I am a Hoover alum back when it was a good school. Hoover is at best the 3rd best public HS in the Birmingham area, bro.

Are you using this to state that 2A in one state, overall, is better than the highest classification (I think it's 6A now but whatever) in another?
Buford HS in GA is 2A and they're a frickin factory. They could easily beat many of the 6A teams in Georgia. They're just that damn good. That doesnt' mean that all of 2A is that good though.

If you aren't thinking of Brittany Benton then you're doing it wrong.
ever43,
I also went to Hoover in the mid 2000's when it was ranked higher. Saying "back when it was good" is overkill, don't be a dumbass. It's still a Hoover City School. 3rd best in the Birmingham area is still better than every where else in the state. I already linked a ranking of HS's in Alabama in here and if you think there is really that much difference between Hoover at #7 and Homewood at #1 then you're being ridiculous.

Don't doubt it. When my HS DC in the mid 80s , Jeff Herron, got hired at Camden County he was paid 90k and was provided a truck. He left there two years ago to HC at Prince Avenue in Athens. He had won a state title at Oconee County around 98 and was in high demand. Some of those coaches earn a pretty good salary if they have a title or a few in their resume.

I graduated in '98 and it was a much different school then; this was before the over building of apartments took their toll on the system. I believe Spain Park and Homewood High School are pretty much equal, but there's a small gap between them and Hoover High School. However, there's a substantial gap between Brook/Vestavia and Hoover. 15 years ago, those 3 were interchangeable. I'm not sure how involved with Hoover High School today, but I feel confident in saying the quality of teachers on staff is well below what it once was.
I occasionally do work with the education community in the OTM cities and the you'd be hard pressed to find an educator who's been involved since the 90s that would disagree. Several of the department heads from my era and yours would be the first to echo my sentiments. There's obviously disagreement on the cause of the decline, but a couple will point to the community's obsession of being the dominant football power in the state as the underlying problem. Let's be honest, the average person in Hoover would likely choose to be elite at football while having good academics over being an elite academic institution with good football.
I loved going to school there and being part of the first class to go to through the full IB program. Unfortunately, when we move back, Hoover City Schools won't even be on our radar. We will either buy in Mtn Brook or Vestavia.

Building apartments will kill any school.

He had 5 carries. And 3 catches. He had 8 total touches. Hoovers' offense scored 14 points.

That story about the kid getting run over by a tahoe is unbelievable. Was that charlie zorn? Also how the hell did that mark douche ever date Brittney Benton?
