Sorry,  I was assuming everyone knew that none of These teams won A state championship. That’s why said defense wins championship.

What were the top 10 defenses?  It’s my opinion that it takes both.  You can give up 10 ppg and still lose if you can’t score.

Soooo.... does defense really win championships?  Only one team on this list won the title.  Also, the top 10 offenses seemingly won more playoff games than the top 10 defenses.  Just sayin

Again, nothing is in a straight line.  Overall, what's the history of teams, from high schools to Pros, with the best defenses winning Titles the majority of the time?

It matters when the defense can convert turnovers to points.

What's even more staggering to me is that there's only one state champion out of the 20 teams.

I'm almost more surprised that both sides had a team lose in the first round! Just goes to show that you have to be pretty good and balanced on both sides of the ball.

Like I stated earlier.. Doesn't matter if you give up 7 but only score 6.  And scoring 50 means nothing if you give up 51.
