I'm not a big sports fan, but high school football is among the most popular sport in the US and Canada
I love sports. But football dose not register with me until it's college or above. Which states is high school football the most popular in? 
I'm not really sure, but in the early 20th century, many college and high school teams played against each other!
That's crazy. I can't imagine any high school team beating even a terrible college team. 
Apparently other high school traditions like pep rallies, marching bands, mascots and even homecomings are mirrored from college football, so they've got a lot in common.
I figured just on a smaller scale. I'm from Texas and high school football is huge here.
Texas and Massachusettes actually use NCAA playing rules - they are the only two states that do this for their high schools.
How did I not know that. You are a world of knowledge! 
High school FB is the first level where a player accumulates statistics - our local high school just sent a quarterback to play for Clemson this fall - he's the No. 1 QB and over all player for 2018
The issue is even stars in high school don't get to play in college for a few years, They just ride the bench,
