Food, especially protein-rich food, is probably cheaper in Texas compared to many other states. That diet can help increase height and muscle mass. The state champion teams at the larger schools in Texas look almost NFL-ready. They get recruited into the NCAA Div. 1 teams, where college weight training puts the additional muscle mass on them with their special diets.

That kid looked like he had 'roid rage to me as well. I hope the violence and anger isn't a part of his socialization or from family issues.
