The only way Carthage and Gilmer ever play each other, unless scheduled in non-district, would be in the championship game.

That is a tough district for us, but it's not really a surprise.

He has been giving these out via his Twitter feed all morning. This link ought to work. I don't know if he's gotten to your district yet, though.

How does he have the Houston area and the current district 29 mapped out?

I just now noticed something interesting. Carthage (741) now has more students than Jasper (729). If Padilla's projections turn out to be the correct ones, Carthage is going Division I for the next two years.

So, if Carthage and Gilmer are not in the same district, we'll have to set up a predistrict game with them. I fully expect that to happen, because there's very little chance they would meet in the playoffs. I can't see Gilmer going D1 in any projected district they get put in.

2012 Re-Alignment, 8-3A. Alvarado, Godley, Hillsboro, Kennedale, Venus & West. Swapped Glen Rose with Godley.

I think you're right. I somewhat envy Carthage, though. I have always said it's (slightly) easier to win state in Division I, merely because of the fact you only have to win five games.

I believe you're right about it being easier to win in Division 1 because of the five games, instead of six that you have to win. Most years you can tell which division is stronger, but the fact of the matter is winning five games is easier (though slightly) than winning six no matter who the competition is. Who knows, maybe the UIL will add a team to the 3A playoffs, and make it four teams instead of the three. Either that, or make a bye week so that all championship games are on the same weekend and get equal exposure through television. It's sucked the last two seasons the 3A Division 1 championship game hasn't gotten the television exposure of the rest of the championship games. I hope they fix that.
