From WikiPedia – States Range from 1A to 8A — 8A being the Highest/Largest … the following for football, but similar for athletics in general(?):

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) establishes the rules of High School Football in the United States…

Each state has at least one sanctioning organization for public schools. In many states a separate organization governs interscholastic athletics at most private schools. 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 can 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, eight, or nine players per side instead of the traditional eleven (or twelve in Canada) are encountered.[citation needed]
[edit] Home schooling and high school football

Homeschooled students may also participate in high school football through independent or freelance teams, which 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 Nease High School after he and his mother rented an apartment in that school district. Tebow won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 as quarterback for the University of Florida. The 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[5] that would grant similar rights to Alabama’s home schooled students.

Welcome Aboard, Brandon !
i have a lot of respect for the other school options you had St. Louis, Irvine & Idaho St.)– Thanks for choosing Hawai’i …
HOW does this compare to BALI ?

Brandon has all the pedigree (4A All-CIF) that would make him a promising signee / walk-on even in the regular signing periods: steady game inside – outside, both three and mid-range, good BB-IQ.

Glad Brandon can make the trip AND get his feet wet in school as well — hope the rest of Cal-recruits also clear and join soon …
