Amen! Looks like the day is coming ... just glad mine will be out of school before then!

[TarponFanInNorthTexas]

In West Texas you could see a Wylie, Brownwood, Andrews, Lubbock Estacado type district.

[Matthew328]

Could also see Big Spring having to go to El Paso...yikes

Forgot about Big Spring, that would a lot of late nights. Brownwood to Lubbock/Andrews are both about 240 miles!

don't you think it will just be trade off? Less travel for non-district and more for district.

No Big Spring???

At what number is the split between Div. 1 and Div. 2?

[SHSBulldog00]

At what number is the split between Div. 1 and Div. 2?

I haven't seen the mock yet but I heard it could be around 700.

[LionFan72]

Kinda sounds like the old district 4-3A back in the 70's, Brownwood, Hirschi, Iowa Park, Burkburnett, Vernon, Graham, Stephenville, lots of miles, but lots of smiles too. The expense of travel was a lot less by comparison, but I think we can swing it!

[buckeyebob]

Gilmer would like that number

[Ville-D]

So is the plan to split 3a like they do 2a or to do it like they do in 4a?

I thought it was to be more like 4a where top 4 teams go with 2 big in d1 and 2 small in d2.

Maybe I missed something.

In 2013 3A will be like 4A in that top two go big, bottom 2 go small...

in 2014 you could see 3A (or what wil be be 4A) be like 2A

Like 2A, thats the way the split will be , or thats what was voted on. 3A Division 1 and 3A Division 2 Atleast you know where you are going before the season starts

[Manso/V8]

Does that mean that the districts will be aligned by Division 1 and Division 2 as well? If so, will there be 2 or 4 teams going to the playoffs from each district?

Exactly, districts will be aligned by Div 1 and Div 2 . The exact model that 2A uses right now.

[TarponFanInNorthTexas]

Hmmm, if the cutoff is @ 700, then I could try to draw up some S. Texas districts.

I'm assuming it would be 4 districts per division per region?

In theory the 5 team districts, you could have a 1-9 team make the playoffs next year. I am all for participation, but this is really watering down the playoffs and just cost schools additional money so a 10-0 / 9-1 team and go beat the snot out of a 2-8 / 3-7 team in the first/second round of the playoffs. I think I would rather have my son work harder the next year to be that 9-1 team than be satisfied with a 3-7 record and his team making the playoffs. If was much simpler when one/two teams from each district made it to the playoffs.

Our young men/women need to realize that there are winners and looser and everything is not just handed to you, you have to work for it!

[Matthew328]

is getting beat 60-0 in the playoffs really having something handed to you other than an arse kicking?

Does this mean I need to buy my conversion van back?....Man, I miss that monster for long road trips.....:bigcry:

2A is gonna start sending four teams to the playoffs.

I'm not completely familiar with enrollment numbers for R4 except for the RGV area teams, but I can already pretty much figure out a couple of districts.

16-3A Div. 1 - Hidalgo, La Feria, Zapata, RGC La Grulla, Kingsville

16-3A Div. 2 - Port Isabel, Rio Hondo, Progreso, Lyford, Raymondville

Your div2 is what he has div1 add robstown

[NastySlot]

Wylie Would mix it up brownwood liberty hill burnet lampasas and stephenville according to the mock. Wow new district of doom?

[TarponFanInNorthTexas]

That doesn't make sense. The D2 district I made includes all schools with enrollment BELOW 700 students.

Robstown has well over 900 students.

[BEAST]

Read it again. I had to also. He is agreeing with your D2 and is saying add Robstown to D1.

[Matthew328]

Correct

[Deuce]

Could someone please post a link to that mock realignment

[TarponFanInNorthTexas]

A single period. <------- like that, would have made a world of difference! LOL

[Matthew328]

Negative....that's copyrighted material...I dont want anyone doing that to my work so I'm going to do it to someone else...at least for me its a part time job..that's Carl's only source of income...not fair to him or his family
