Other mythical national high school championships
High school football national championship redirects here. However, it's my understanding that historically there have been other mythical national champion lists for US high school football besides this one. For example, this page (apparently not a WP:RS) lists some championships that do not appear in this article, including lists for 8-man football. Does anyone know of an authoritative list of the the various other national championship lists?
Why I'm asking: I've edited several articles for schools that claim to have been national champions, but don't appear here. Examples are Oak Ridge High School (Oak Ridge, Tennessee), which is often reported to have been mythical champion in 1958 (for example, see this source), and Knoxville High School (Tennessee), which a good source says was national champion in 1930 and 1937. --Orlady (talk) 22:38, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
I'm in the process of researching a book on what Garfield (NJ) and Miami High Schools considered the national championship game in 1939, the same year Pine Bluff defeated Baton Rouge. In any case, I'm curious as to the source of your information concerning Massilon's refusal to play Knoxville if it meant not using their black players. I cannot find any references to that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hgola (talk • contribs) 18:24, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
