If you were the UIL "alignment king" for a day?!?

[Johnny Moxen]

If I were the UIL "alignment king" for a day, below are the "ranges" of each "classification" that I would establish.

5A - 2100 & up
4A - 1100 - 2099
3A - 390 - 1099
2A - 190 - 389
1A - 189 & below

This might potentially establish a district such as:
Snyder
Sweetwater
Merkel
Jim Ned
Wylie
Brownwood
Clyde
Stephwnville

This would make for some GREAT Friday night football! What are your thoughts or if you were the "king" what would your "classifications" look like?

[Gobbla2001]

They could keep the range the same, just add a wildcard and put Cuero in 1A as the wildcard...

Nah, put us in 4A for a season, Calallen and GP's district, see what would happen...

OR, put this district in region 3 so we'd actually be 'considered'... then again, IT could be better this way...

[c-town_balla]

Yeah the 3a range is to large. It really isn't fair for a 390 vs. Silsbee with nearly 1000

[HighSchool Fan]

1a needs to start at around 100. anything less than that should be 6-man.

LOL. sounds like the only way Wylie stays 3A . I dont believe the number for 3A will go that high. wishfull thinking;)

[GreenMonster]

I say open up 6A. Reduce the number of schools in each classification to where all classes have roughly the same number of schools.

This district would be unlikely because of the 3+ hr trip from Snyder to Stephenville. Also, your numbers would potentially drop Abilene Cooper to 4A. I could more likely see the following numbers.

5A - 1951 and up
4A - 1050 - 1950
3A - 450 - 1049
2A - 200 - 449
1A - 199 and below
* 11-man - 100 to 199
* 6-man - under 100

These numbers would provide more of a balance the large 4A and 3A gaps and moving them down into 2A and 1A as well.

I knew that was coming from someone. Just grow up, compete occasionally, and live with it.

[rhs78]

In either case Rice will probably drop down to 2-A b/c of enrollenent 0f 401 and the juvinile detention center in Eagle lake is closing and those students were counted as students in that 401 figure. real numbers a probably around 360+ for upcoming year. Also Halletsville should also be very close with 390 students . It will be interesting but we still have this season. I'm ready for some FOOTBALL!!!!!

[18handicap]

My sources tell me that one of the Abilene schools is going to go 4A anyway and it could be pretty wild how they divy up the West Texas schools that are left in 5A....

Wish it were that easy, but like my school, Sabine Pass, had 46 students, the nearest 6 man team was almost 400 miles away. It made it hard to play with only 14 on the team.

Ok You won that game. WHen was the last time Snyder beat Wylie in football before that when was the lat time Snyder beat Wylie before that in ANYTHING? As my grandpappy used to say, " Even a dogs _ _ _ gets a little sunshine occasionally."

Wylie could jump up depending on what the UIL does but alot of people think that Abilene Cooper will drop within the next 4 years. They are considering redrawing the AISD lines however but I dont look for that for a year or two.

[injuredinmelee]

Yall keep recruiting these out of state kids yall might end up jumping too. We beat you when you were 4A and we will keep doing it.

[pero chato]

Well the history is that 4A Snyder beat Wylie in 1999, 2004 (as 3A) and a couple of times in the early 90's as 4A when the two first started playing each other. It could happen again, especially this year with the game being played in Snyder and with Snyder returning so many starters.
I would like to make the point though, if I may sir, that Wylie has plenty of experience in 4A already. We scrimmage 4A Brownwood twice a year (here and there) for the last three years that I know of and if you look at our pre-district schedule you will find 4A Lake View and 4A Aledo. In previous years we've played 4A Big Spring, 4A Snyder (for many years), 4A Graham and scrimmaged 4A Sweetwater. This past year's soccer team competed very well in 4A. We will go 4A soon and our coaches in all sports have been preparing the kids for it.
I suspect Wylie will turn in around 910-920 for enrollment. I called the school at least four times last year and each time the nice lady in charge of attendance told me that we had between 900-905. Those are 4A numbers today as we are all aware. HOWEVER the UIL might continue to raise the limits in the next alignment as they have done in previous years. As we get closer to the submission of enrollment figures, I'm sure there will be plent of buzz on this and other boards.

I don't have a problem with the 3A 390 to 1099 range but I would want it set up so that all the under 700 schools could be in Division 2 in the playoffs and the ones over 699 would be in Division 1. That way Sinton could finally be a big school in Division 2 instead of a small school in Division 1 for for a change.
Of course that would probably be impossible to set up.

[BHBrave08]

This is what I would do.

6A - 3500 & up
5A - 2500 - 3499
4A - 1500 - 2499
3A - 700 - 1499
2A - 300 - 699
1A - 100 - 299
6-Man - 99 & down

how many 3500+ schools is in Texas

[BHBrave08]

Not sure but I know that a good few of the houston area schools are that size. plus, they are all growing so many more will be there eventually.

[BHBrave08]

looked through dave campbells and it looks like about 20 schools. But drop that number to 2750 or 3000 and it gets close to 50 or 75 schools.

Im just kidding about the 4A and Wylie. Im sure you will find some way to stay 3A with your 4A Numbers. you have for the last 3 aligments. Snyder will just have to keep geting more miles per athlete to keep beating ya.;)

With those numbers, we'd most likely be back in 2A. :eek: :eek:

[BHBrave08]

Then you could dominate 2A. lol. & i would have to come visit on the new 2A site occationally. lol.:D

You sound like one of those merkelites. You know you cant compete on a year to year basis so you have to find fault with the king.
