In a recent Sports Illustrated 50th anniversary special - 50 States in 50 Weeks-Texas, was an article about high school football titled 'Thank God It's Friday'. It detailed 2 Class 5A teams with student-body populations of around 2,200. Here's some numbers:
Smithson Valley: 260 players- Varsity, 2 JV, 2 Freshmen teams
Westlake: 220 players
I realize these 2 teams are 2 of the better teams in Texas and that Tennessee's classification may not match the TX class. However, in comparing student-body pops, WARREN COUNTY does have a building built to hold around 2,000 students and their actual enrollment probably fluctuates between 1,500 and 2,000 pupils. How many were in Warren County's football program this year and for comparison how many are in other school's programs such as Cookeville, Riverdale, Lincoln County, etc.............???????
