Texas might take it more seriously... but that's the fans.
Talent wise, CA is above and beyond.

California has produced for NFL players than any other state by far Texas takes football for seriously and the two best teams in Texas are Desoto and Allen both of which could be beat by de la Salle or Oceanside. Florida certainly does play good ball but not as good as California I would know there are plenty of good teams here like de la Salle Oceanside Bakersfield saint john bosco long beach polytechnic mater Dei Edison (Fresno) Clovis high (don't let their 8-5 record fool you they play complete and utter lights out defense its the offense that's terrible) and corona centennial . None of these teams play soft weak football. Bakersfield alone has a record 37 state championship victories and a record 780 wins since 1896 the most in the entire state

It doesn't matter what state you played HS football in. Texas and California are the two biggest, so of course they have the most players.

Neither. The high schools in Florida play a better brand of football than either Texas or California. That's a fact. You can look it up.
Money and population and climate determine who's best. Those three states have an overwhelming amount of those assets. That's a fact. You can look it up.
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana each are only slightly behind the top three. That's a fact. You can look it up.
Seriously, I have had the privilege to referee high school football in both Texas and Florida, though not California. I feel that the difference in Texas and Florida is outside the lines. Talented players are abundant in both states but the Texas schools generate far more student and community support and participation than do the Florida schools. Drill teams, bigger bands, more cheerleaders, and far more community involvement are a way of life in the Lone Star state.

I've heard people talking about this. Honestly, I have to believe Texas high schools have more tradition in football, though they may not be better. Despite the talent of the players, football in Texas is serious business and I doubt any other state pays as much attention to it as Texas does.
And most of the high school football movies are set in Texas. :D

Is this a serious question? Texas High School Football is almost as big as college football is to Alabama! You go to a gas station in Texas and they sale little booklets on high school football teams. Rosters, coaches, past records, etc. This is no contest. A better question would be if Texas was better than Alabama, Florida, or Pennsylvania high school football. Where did California come from?

We have great high school football team in California, but people here don't take football as seriously as people from the South.. High school football, should be for recreational sports for students to compete, not as religious like ritual..

California is way better and the reason is because they are good despite not having middle school football to teach kids fundamentals prior to getting into high school. This gives California a huge upside to work with once they get to the next level.

I think Texas takes their high school football to an insane level. Even though I think it is highly unhealthy how they treat their high school athletics, I think they might be better based on their emphasis. Besides, what else are they going to do in Texas?

California has money which can buy state of the art facilities and recuits but they still lack the talent.
Californians are usually softer and weaker which explains the pathetic nature of the PAC10.
Texas football blows Cal football out of the water.
