Meh, Hoover hasn't been the bellcow in alabama for a while. They THINK they are and even tonight the news asked why Hoover played these games. In birmingham they aren't even the top team anymore. Leeds has taken that mantle. Opelika, st. Paul's , Prattville are better programs in the state.
Texas state football better? depends on who u play. A 5k student school is gonna be better. Hoover lost to John Curtis, which is a recruiting private school that by the way, won the la state championship that year as well beating all those great la teams you speak of.
Having similar schools, similar enrolment, public play public, private play private, Bama high schools play with anybody. This whole argument is a myth. La is the private school capital of america. The only teams we ever see are the John Curtis' s. Plenty of public school la teams would get housed if they played Alabama's best public teams.

You realize they won state in 2012,2013, and 2014? quote:

Why would a HS not want to play a national game on ESPN? Hoover basically pioneered these types of games when they became the first HS to have a game televised live on ESPN in 2005 vs Nease(FL) who had Tebow.
These games are meaningless when it comes to the tone of the season. Hoover won 3 games against out of state teams last year and didn't even make state. In 2014 Hoover started off 0-2 against out of state teams and then won their third straight state championship.

GTFO Leeds is 4A. They couldn't hang with a good 7A teams 2nd string. They couldn't even hang with mediocre 6A teams like Chelsea.
Prattville has been awful for a few years now. Like multiple losing records bad.
You know nothing and you're out of touch. It's always amusing to see people's irrational hatred of Hoover and to see how far they'll reach in a pathetic attempt to try and talk Hoover down a peg.

Somebody should tell them this interesting stat AL.com just posted:
-- Hoover is 9-4 when playing teams from outside Alabama under Josh Niblett, but 4-2 when the Bucs play out-of state

Are you crazy? Leeds has 500 students and Hoover has 3,000.
