I lived in Alabama for 8 years ...
There are always going to be exceptions, I was speaking on average. I'm sure if you came to Texas, you'd be more than surprised. Just like FL has IMG Academy, St Thomas Aquinas etc.

Have you ever been to TX? On average, TX has a lot more. Don't believe it, take a tour of Dallas and Houston.

Frisco HS stadium. Show me something better than that and we'll talk. $260M and they share it with the Cowboys.
"Their old digs" they moved from that was built '05:
And for what it's worth, I think you're missing the point. I'm saying on average, TX dumps more money into football in comparison to other states. On AVERAGE, kids coming from the Southern schools don't have those same resources at their fingertips in HS. It's not a slight against them, in fact, it's quite the contrary.
That's also not to say every school in TX is like that. They have their poor districts/schools as well.

eeh that's also the Cowboy's practice facility/headquarters tho
Allen's stadium and what Katy ISD is getting are better examples.

The two most expensive stadiums being built as of '16. Surprise, TX:
https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/high-school-football-stadiums-mckinney-texas
Katy (Houston) $62.5M only to be 1 upped by McKinney $62.8M (North of Dallas) and just up the street from Frisco's shared facilities with the Cowboys. I think I read $60M from the school district and the Cowboys picked up the rest of the $200M tab.

Probably looked better than Qualcomm, too. That place is a dump. Hands down, saddest stadium I've ever been to. Love their "big screen" ... My TV in the living room is probably bigger. I get to look at that beauty nearly everyday, since I live down the street in Mission Valley.

That's because the HS ball down there is traditionally run heavy/option based right? The CA HS scene was one of the first places to really embrace the passing game and spread concepts.
I don't think it's a coicidence that the talent TX has pumped out at that position has dramatically gone up since the HS scene started embracing the "spread" down there.

The 7 on 7 era is thriving in Texas. 8 of the top 10 guys in the state is either a WR or a DB.

Which is a product of the proliferation of the "spread" right?
The state wasn't producing as much talent at QB, WR, and DB when the veer and wishbone were popping down there as they do now.

I think the state has always produced those guys but during the veer & wishbone days a lot of that talent left the state.
Coaches like Mike Leach & Mark Mangino definitely helped innovative the state towards a spread offensive culture and it trickled down thru the rest of the Big 12 conference.

Houston Cougs were running the Run 'N' Shoot in the '80s/'90s and those were some pretty wide open offenses and breaking all types of NCAA records with Andre Ware and David Klingler. Granted, it preceded the Big 12, but the were slingin' the ball around before Leach and Mangino by a good decade. I could be completely off base here, but I vaguely recall the Spread kinda taken off around the Dallasish/Austin area in regard to TXHS football. Think Westlake Austin where Drew Brees and Nick Foles went to and Southlake Carroll. Think Art Briles ran it at Stephenville before he went to U of H, too.

Different system but yeah former UH OC/HC John Jenkins deserves credit along with the Mummeites for changing the states HS and college offensive football culture.

Drew Brees didn't run the spread in HS.

I mentioned Westlake Austin, where Drew Brees and Nick Foles played as reference. Wasn't suggested that's what they ran it in HS. Sorry if you got that impression, I wasn't trying to insinuate. I think Todd Dodge went from Soutlhake to Westlake

UH was running the R&S offense but it was still in an era where they majority of the teams were running wishbone or I formations.
After Mangino & Leach's OU Air Raid bombed the B12 in 2000 within 5 years damn near every team in the conference was running some type of spread.
Now somebody can give Briles or Ledbetter or any other HS coach the credit for whatever spread they ran during their heyday but to me imo Mangino & Leach changed they whole dynamic of this state and that impact is still being felt for almost 20 years now.
