'''High school [[American football|football]]''' is one of most popular interscholastic sports at [[high school]]s in the [[United States]] and the second most popular in [[Canada]].{{Fact|date=August 2008}} The game's popularity with both audiences and students is widespread across both nations.


Uwagbale grew up an only female child among four brothers. Although she hails from [[Edo State|Edo]], she spent most of her early years in [[Lagos]] until she gained admission into Madonna University, [[Port Harcourt]] to study [[Accountancy]].
High school football dates back to the late 19th century, concurrent with the start of many college football programs. In the late 19th and early 20th century, many college and high school teams played against one another. Many other traditions of high school football such as [[marching band]]s and [[homecoming game]]s are mirrored in [[college football]].


==Rules==
==Beauty Pagent==
In 2004, she participated in the [[Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria]] pageant and won. This enabled her to take part in [[Miss Universe]] and [[Miss World]] later in the year. Although she was a contender for the crown, Uwagbale failed to make the top ten; however she was named African Continental Queen of Beauty. As MBGN, Uwagbale's projects included environmental [[pollution]]. She is now said to be married and living in the [[United States]].
[[Image:Hischool football sunset.jpg|thumb|A High school football game in Texas.]]
The [[National Federation of State High School Associations]] (NFHS) establishes the rules of High School Football. Two states, [[Texas]] and [[Massachusetts]], use [[NCAA]] playing rules.
==Post Pageant==

As ex-MBGN, Uwagbale's ambition is to be an [[accountant]] and [[supermodel]]. She also plans to future in some [[Nollywood]] movies.
With their common ancestry, the NFHS rules of high school football are largely similar to the college game, though with some important differences:
Uwagbale is now said to be married with a child.
* The four quarters are each 12 minutes in length, as opposed to 15 minutes in all other forms of the game.
* Kickoffs take place at the kicking team's 40 yd line, as opposed to 30 in college and the [[National Football League|NFL]].
* If a ball crosses the plane of the goal line on a missed [[Field goal (football)|field goal]], it would be a [[touchback]] and the opposing team will start at the 20 yd line.
* Any kick crossing the goal line is automatically a touchback; kicks cannot be returned out of the end zone.
* Pass interference by the defense results in a 15-yard penalty (and automatic first down), regardless of where the foul occurred (unlike the pro ranks where the ball is placed at the spot of the foul).
* The defense cannot return an extra-point attempt for a score.
* The use of overtime, and the type of overtime used, is up to the individual state association.

At least one unique high school rule has been adopted by college football. In 1996, the [[Overtime (sports)|overtime]] rules originally utilized by [[Kansas State High School Activities Association|Kansas high school teams]] were adopted by the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]].

==The high school football season==
[[Image:Bishop Stadium (MHS).JPG|thumb|200px|High school football stadium in [[Manhattan, Kansas]]]]
Training for the upcoming season usually starts in June with [[weightlifting]] and other conditioning activities. Some states allow [[Scrimmage|seven on seven scrimmages]], while others prohibit formal practices during most of the summer. Near the end of the summer in mid-August, [[Two-A-Days (football)|double sessions]] tend to begin and usually last for one week or until school starts.{{Fact|date=August 2008}} After double sessions end, regular season practices begin with daily sessions each week day afternoon except on game day. Practices are often held on Saturday as well, but almost never on Sunday.{{Fact|date=August 2008}}

The regular season typically consists of ten games in most states.{{Fact|date=August 2008}} The first game of the season is usually in late August or early September and the final regular season game is usually in late October to the middle of November.{{Fact|date=August 2008}} Teams may have one or more bye weeks during the regular season. The vast majority of high school football games are scheduled for Friday nights, with Thursday evenings and Saturdays being less heavily used.{{Fact|date=August 2008}} Alternate days are most common in larger school districts where the facilities are used by multiple schools. Larger schools (especially those with successful programs) can often draw attendances in the thousands, even for regular season games, and in some cases may play the game at a college or professional stadium to accommodate the expected large crowds.

Each state has at least one sanctioning organization for [[public school]]s. In many states a separate organization governs interscholastic athletics at most [[private school]]s. Each sanctioning body divides its member schools up into anywhere from two to eight size classifications based on enrollment and then each classification is further divided into geographic regions. The size classifications are arranged from 'A'/'1A' (the smallest) to 'AAAAAAAA'/'8A' (the largest), though the nomenclature and number of size divisions vary from state to state. A school's size classification will change if its enrollment rises or declines over the years. At the smallest schools, particularly in rural communities or smaller private schools, variations on the game using [[six-man football|six]], [[eight-man football|eight]], or [[nine-man football|nine]] players per side instead of the traditional eleven (or twelve in [[Canadian football|Canada]]) are encountered.

Prior to the 1970s, many states crowned state champions through polls, but playoff systems have become nearly universal since then and most states have steadily increased the number of teams eligible to participate and total number of classifications. Though the playoff scheme and number of teams eligible varies, regional champions will compete in elimination playoff rounds — in a tradition borrowed from pro football rather than college — to determine a state champion for each size classification. The championship games are usually held at a neutral site, usually a college or NFL stadium needed to accommodate the larger crowds. College and professional fields are also usually better equipped to handle inclement weather which is common since state championship games are typically held in late November to the middle of December. Note that some states with large populations such as [[New Jersey]] only crown regional champions, and in many large cities, including [[Pittsburgh Public Schools|Pittsburgh]], [[AAA Beach District|Virginia Beach]],<!--This is a link to the Virginia athletic district covering Virginia Beach.--> [[Buffalo Public Schools|Buffalo]], [[New York City Department of Education|New York City]], [[Chicago Public Schools|Chicago]], and [[Los Angeles Unified School District|Los Angeles]], public high schools compete in their own "city leagues" and may or may not ever play opponents outside of them. At the other extreme are states such as [[Illinois]] or [[West Virginia]], in which regional championships do not exist; the state's playoffs are seeded on a statewide basis.

Some publications and internet sites release nationwide rankings based on polls or mathematical formulas which take into account various factors like average margin of victory and strength of schedule. Schools that finish atop these rankings, particularly the [[USA Today]] poll, are sometimes considered to be the [[High school football national championship|national champions]].{{Fact|date=August 2008}}

===Home schooling and high school football===

[[Homeschooling|Homeschooled]] students may also participate in high school football through independent or freelance teams that compete against small private (or in a few cases, public) schools. In some states, such as [[Florida]], state law allows homeschooled students to compete in interscholastic athletics for their local school district. Thus, homeschooled [[Tim Tebow]], who was one of the top [[quarterback]] prospects in the nation, was able to play for the nationally-ranked [[public school|public]] [[Allen D. Nease Senior High School|Nease High School]]. Tebow won college football's most coveted individual award, the [[Heisman Trophy]], in [[2007 Florida Gators football team|2007]] as [[quarterback]] for the [[Florida Gators football|University of Florida.]] The [[Alabama State Legislature|legislature]] in the state of [[Alabama]], where Tebow played in a nationally-televised loss against Hoover High School, is considering a bill, dubbed the ''Tim Tebow Bill'' [http://www.timtebowbill.com/] that would grant similar rights to Alabama's home schooled students.

==College recruiting==

{{main article|Recruiting (college athletics)}}

In all states, the HS football season will have ended by late December, but the recruiting process by which colleges offer scholarships to high school seniors often starts in the summer, before the school year and football season begin. Physical assessment is an increasingly important part of the recruiting process. Football camps are held at college campuses where a large number of potential recruits can be evaluated simultaneously in various speed and skills drills. Players are evaluated based on running the [[40-yard dash]], agility shuttle, [[vertical jump]] and the number of repetitions on the [[bench press]] that they can perform at a given weight. Recently, the [[SPARQ]] rating has become a popular composite metric to evaluate overall athleticism. Based on performance over the course of their careers and at camps, colleges will typically take potential recruits on tours of the campus and athletic facilities, or the college may have its team's coach visit the recruit at home or at school.

While all colleges do much of their recruiting from local and in-state high schools, where they can network with HS coaches and [[booster club]]s, the nation's top college programs can easily recruit athletes from around the country. Some colleges have historically been aided in this regard through their prominence within their religious affiliation, such as [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish football|Notre Dame]] or [[BYU Cougars football|BYU.]]

Students who played for larger high schools, or who competed in nationally-televised matches, have a natural advantage towards recruitment, while players who competed at smaller schools - such as most states' 1A and 2A categories - will have their skills and achievements judged versus the lower-caliber opposition they faced and, as such, are rarely considered as top prospects. Occasionally, though, a student at a smaller school will receive a full scholarship &ndash; for example, [[Dallas Cowboys]] offensive lineman [[Leonard Davis]] received a scholarship to the [[University of Texas]] despite playing football in [[Wortham, Texas]], a class 1A school.

Though it is an expensive project, HS football players often increase their visibility by sending out video highlights of their playing skills to college recruiters. If a student receives no scholarship offers, they may still attempt to make a college team by becoming a "walk on" and paying their own tuition in the hopes that they can make the team and possibly receive a scholarship. Others will try out for a non-scholarship team, such as a [[Division III]] school, or a two-year [[junior college]] team. The latter option is also popular with students with academic or behavioral issues that would prevent them from playing at a four-year college.

While the vast majority of HS football players will not even be considered for a scholarship offer, players who receive nationwide attention will invariably receive scholarship offers from more than one school and will often hold a [[press conference]] to announce their final selection. [[All-Star Game|"All Star"]] [[exhibition game]]s like the [[U.S. Army All-American Bowl]], which is televised nationally by [[National Broadcasting Company|NBC,]] give the nation's top prospects the opportunity to publicly announce their college selection or to provide one last opportunity to showcase their talents to college recruiters. By [[National Signing Day]], the first Wednesday in February, most top recruits will have already signed non-binding letters of intent or verbally committed with colleges.

==High school football phenoms==
{{Original research|date=August 2008}}
High school football has produced a number of athletes that draw national media attention while still in high school. Some, but not all, have continued on to success in college and/or the NFL.

*[[Emmitt Smith]] – broke Hall's record for most career {{convert|100|yd|m|sing=on}} games with 45.

==High school football in the media==
As most games take place during [[primetime]], television exposure of HS football on a local basis tends to be limited to championship games only. However, some areas such as [[Western Pennsylvania]] where high school football is hugely popular, has regular press coverage of all area games. In Minnesota, there is an entire television station devoted to high school sports. (Mostly football and hockey) Local [[public access television|public access]] [[cable television]] and local [[radio station]]s often air regular season contests, and in some cases, the [[high school radio|school's own radio station]] broadcasts the game using student announcers. There has also been a massive increase in recent years of web based stations covering high school sporting events. Examples include HSSP Radio in Indiana [http://www.hssp.cc] who webcasts via sportsjuice.com [http://www.sportsjuice.com], or MSBN in Minnesota [http://www.mnsportsnetwork.com] and BSports.org in Washington [http://www.bsports.org], both of whom webcast on the [[Meridix Webcast Network]][http://www.meridix.com]. In many television markets, local [[television station|stations]] will air 30 or 60-minute "scoreboard" shows following their late Friday [[newscast]] with scores and highlights from games in their coverage area. Starting in [[2005 in television|2005,]] the [[ESPN]] family of networks have also aired regular season matchups between nationally ranked teams.

Despite this increased national media attention, some states restrict the broadcast of high school games. One example is the [[University Interscholastic League]], which governs public school sports in Texas. The UIL has a long-standing ban on television broadcasting of high school football games on Friday nights, believing that doing so could hurt ticket sales (radio broadcasts are allowed, though). Because of this, several games that have been broadcast on ESPN and [[Fox Sports Net]] in recent years have had to be played on either Thursday night or on Saturday to avoid the UIL's ban. In Michigan, live television broadcasts of regular season games are prohibited by the state athletic association.

===Portrayals of high school football in movies, television, and literature===
[[Hollywood]] portrayals of HS football, whether [[comedy film|comedies]] or [[dramatic film|dramas,]] often portray the game at the center of a small town's existence and the focus of its attention.
