Hey...

I read a story online a few weeks ago talking about HS football in southern states. I remember it specifically said the state of South Carolina had almost 1200 high schools playing football. Tennessee had around 300 and Kentucky 200. That plays into it some. Kentucky high school football is abysmal. Doesn't produce more than 4-5 D-1 talent per year, and they all go out of state most of the time.
