The More the Merrier: With the crazed 16-game Texas high
school football season finally over, here is this year's high school
title count: the United States crowned
362 state high school football champions
in 2010. Texas led the way with 24 state champions -- "We won the 2A II
division!" -- which represents one state football champion per million
residents. Massachusetts crowned 20 high school football champions --
"We won the E-IIIA division!" -- a ratio of one state champion per
330,000 residents. New Jersey had 19 high school football champions --
"We won North Group 2 Division IV!" -- a ratio of one state champion to
460,000 residents. California had only four state champions, one per
nine million residents, but the Golden State also crowns champions of
what are essentially regional tournaments. And Wyoming had five state
high school football champions, one per 110,000 residents.</p><div class="mod-inline image image-right"><div style="margin-left: 10px; width: 300px;">
