bcbathletics 10 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Im tired of ESPN spreading this "titletown" over months of coverage with no anwser, so therefore i have decided to start my own, same as on there, id just like to know everyones general idea on what city nationwide can truly be regarded as the one and only "titletown." Personally, i believe it is Boston, Mass. but that just me, please leave your responses im very intrigued by this poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vthokies4life 10 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 As much as I hate to say it, Titletown can objectively only be Los Angeles. UCLA is carrying the town with 100+ combined national championships, while USC adds some of their own championships in football, especially recently. In professional sports, you can't look past the Lakers' titles while the Dodgers have added a couple titles of their own. There really isn't a city that can boast that much success.

hokie07 11 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Parkersburg, WV will be featured on Titletown sometime this coming week, I believe. There are close to 200 total championships between Parkersburg (AAA), Parkersburg South (AAA), and Williamson (A). This is far from my vote but I figured I would share for those who were unaware they are actual finalists. My biased vote would go to the town that bleeds Carolina blue...

the_truth 10 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 We don't have a lot of people, nor any professional sports teams, but here is a stat for you. AAA is the highest level that a high school can compete at in W.Va. Both schools mentioned hereafter are AAA schools. [+] EnlargeAP Photo/Mollie Woody Parkersburg celebrates a 22-15 win over St. Albans in the Class AAA state championship football game Dec. 1 in Wheeling, W.V. In Parkersburg, we have accumulated 192 overall state championships in 103 years with 183 if those coming since 1950. Parkersburg High School alone has 137 championships in its 103 years of existence. There is also another AAA school in Parkersburg called Parkersburg South High School, who, by the way, has 38 titles in 40 years. Not to be outdone Parkersburg Catholic, a single A school, has 17 state titles of its own. Not bad considering that there are 136 high school teams in West Virginia with 38 in AAA. We may not have a pro sports team, but in high school sports, Parkersburg as a whole is pretty dominant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Didnt one of the Parkersburg schools set the national record just this year for winning their 15th consecutive tennis state championship? I remember both hearing and seeing something about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget Boston, LA, Chicago, NY, etc. They get enough sports press already. I like hearing about the Valdostas (Ga), Massillons (Oh), and Parkersburgs of the world.

dawgs86 10 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I would think Salem Va would be considered for titletown.. im sure someone can help me out on all the championships they hold but im pretty sure they host alotta division 2 and 3 national championships in many sports..

bcbathletics 10 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I agree, i have already stated my anwser as Boston and that isn't changing, but i think they *espn* shouyld cover more highschools and colleges that have equally high number of championships, if not higher.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm really not trying to be facetious, but Blacksburg would never (at least in the foreseeable future) be on that countdown. Why? When people not-in-the-know think of Blacksburg, they think of Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech doesn't have any NCAA team titles. I might have a half dozen friends who know how many soccer titles Blacksburg High has. Everyone I know knows Virginia Tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
