A composite rating profile was generated using SportsoftTM windows-based software (least-squares method) that reduced the raw game scores of over 146,000 games played by 5,479 boys’ teams in both United States and Canada between the ages of 15 to 18. Individual rating profiles for each state high school league were extracted, tabulated, trend lines plotted and analysed. State rating profiles were grouped by region and comparative graphs were plotted using the state of Minnesota as a common benchmark.
