Possibly 1A, definitely not 4A.

1201+
-Use a three year moving average, and reassess every 4th year.
-Double the enrollment number for the all boy schools.
-Don't worry about each class having an equal number of schools in it. If 3A has 52 and 1A has 38, so be it.

A comporable argument is why there is only one champion in basketball & baseball; teams only need a smaller number of athletes to compete.
If a school is 4A, they have plenty of athletes.

No comparison in basketball or baseball and football and the sheer numbers required to have a top notch 4A program. You can win a state title with 12-15 basketball players or baseball players. You cannot win a 4A title with only 12-15 players on your roster. Many of the smaller 4A schools have numerous kids playing both ways and all special teams as their next level players are not able to get the job done athletically.
