a bunch of good teams could be moving down next year!

[charlesrixey]

Brownwood, Barbers Hill, Burnet?, Stephenville?

the landscape could be changing quickly in 3A, especially if the next alignment goes to 1050 or so

could anyone imagine how good stephenville could be in 3A?

their fans are crazy!

About as good as Sweetwater, Jasper, WOS etc...? :)

And yes their fans are crazy! :D

[trojan37]

I think Stephenville and Brownwood will both be dominant in 3A. Burnet has done it before, so they won't surprise me if they drop back down and become a power once again. This could make for some very interesting matchups though.

[themsu97]

anybody not realizing that LaMarque (again) is supposedly under 1000 in enrollment and could be a 3A as well... good luck if that is true... it is a rumor and has been for a few years but...

if it is true, then all of us current 3A'ers better hope we go division II

[HM33]

One very good team that might move down to 3A is El Campo. They have a great program and would be a power house in 3A

[themsu97]

again, not saying that it is true because it is LaMarque and you never really know what is going on there... for about the last 8 years the rumor has been that there #'s are getting smaller and that they are close to the cutoff, and if they are below then they would obviously be a 3A...

again, it is all a rumor but several schools have been rumored to go one way or the other and eventually it comes true...

[STANG RED]

We used to play Stephenville a lot back in our 4A days.

Those freon cans full of beans, or rocks, or whatever the heck thay have in them will drive you absolutely nuts!!!!!!!! And they never quit shaking them from the time they enter the stadium till they leave.:mad: :mad: :mad: I hate em, I hate em, I hate em!:mad:

They'll probably have the same thought of Liberty Hill! ;)

If La Marque drops the road to the 3A title gets a little bit harder.

And unlike Jasper, WOS, etc... they've actually won something recently!

It would be fun having them in 3A!

[Panther One]

With the teams that could drop, our district could be Liberty Hill, Burnet, Wimberley, Llano, Fredericksburg, and one other. How bad would Llano hate that district?

add Canyon Lake....this would be an incredible district for all sports.

[Maroon87]

It seems like 4A is drying up. A lot of good teams are rumored to be either moving up or dropping down.

[piratebg]

There are some bigs names listed here. We won't know for sure who is moving down until February, right?

LOL! I was thinking of the hype (from folks outside of there) when Jasper and WO-S moved down when I posted. :)

i wouldnt be that intimidated by brownwood, they are solid, but nothing incredible. But La Marque is for real, that would be very frightening.

I know some are wishing to stay 3A really bad. The nunber may stay the same or raise maybe 20-30 or so. that s about it. Canyon goes 4a. Lubbock estacado brownwood go 3A.

[sahen]

Barber's Hill dropping back down? I would be shocked, that area is growing like crazy right now...I wouldnt be surprised to see Barber's Hill be 5a in the next 10-15 years or so....

[Dogman_1969]

IF Liberty Hill goes back into Region IV you sould see Brownwood, Stephenville, Burnet, Liberty Hill, Llano and maybe even Gatesville. That would be the one of the toughest districts.

Remember guys, you can only play 11 players and football is a team sport. I think Liberty Hill played teams with more athletes in several playoff games this year but they sure made them look weak. Could Brownwood stop the slot-T, could Sville stop the slot-T? Who knows, but remember Liberty Hill sure stopped the spread.

I look for several rumors of big suprises but when it comes out there will be districts formed that make you go, "What were they thinking." (see Lexington 2006-2008)

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night............

And they have lost the head coach following a state championship season twice! (97, 06)

[themsu97]

again, LaMarque could very well stay 4A, nobody ever really knows their #'s... but around here the word is that they have somewhere near 1000, not sure which side of that they are on... and it is rumor and hearsay, but I know that this has been going on for years and sooner or later there is some truth to the rumors...
I would be shocked but not surprised... but if the cut off # is that high, you never know...

but I would be willing to put money that they stay 4A, they might even petition to stay there if they are close enough... but at one time they were a 5A and the enrollment has been steadily dropping...

there wont be any real credible, inside sources ... yeah schools let out what they turned in to the UIL, but as far as realignment, its all speculation until the UIL releases it

but the speculation is the fun part, isnt it?

We get reliable information from our posters credible, inside sources all the time! ;)

[Daddy D 11]

he talked about the drugs and family situations. and the gang settings are very bad. athletes out the wazoo, but alot of "distractions' with crime and whatnot

[themsu97]

D11 is not lying, they are in our district and I have played them several times and even interviewed there a couple of times...
know some coaches who coached there pretty good and have heard some stories...
there TAKS scores are not very good either...
but those kids want to play football because it gives them an out...

[Daddy D 11]

exactly. i just think the time comes where its too much to handle and they bail. i mean why else would they leave after a title?

[BMOC]

Does that mean that we have to let Brownwood, Stephenville, and La Marque on the downlow? :evillol:

[charlesrixey]

i remember when WOS, Jasper and Everman moved down over the years

La Marque is in a separate league

whatever their problems, they would make a HUGE impact in 3A if they moved down

probably similar to what Alto is doing in 1A.

They would make a bigger impact than any of the teams listed above

My source (inside and very reliable) says that LaMarque is definitely going 3A, and that Steve Spurrier is going to be the new head coach.:D :D :D :D

Before this past year i think LM had 12 straight years at least reaching the quarter finals. If LM does drop all 3a schools that have never seen them play are in for a surprise, they are not just another WOS or Jasper.

Guess not, getting knocked out 2 out 15 years in the area round still amazing

[Aesculus gilmus]

Longview will add some juice to the drying-up 4A ranks, for sure.

[Matthew328]

Me thinks LaMarque stays 4A unless the # goes way up....just a very educated guess

[JR2004]

Oh well...My team won't have to worry about any of those schools since we're in the DII bracket no matter what. :)

Panther One,
going to the "media guy/sources" card for a second..

I heard UIL will NOT put Wimberley and L-Hill in the same district.

That said, I'm thinking the '07 D-I champs will remain paired with Rockdale/Taylor and the gang (without Hutto, which should be moving up to 4A)...adding Burnet, possibly Llano & Fredericksburg...

[Daddy D 11]

thats sounds like a perfect plan chuck:thumbsup:

[runthequarter]

Brownwood moving down could be like Copperas Cove moving down in 4A. 2 straight losses (unfortunatly) in the title. Allto in calss A is also like that but they won 2 straight. This is not good news for the larger 3A schools.

[Daddy D 11]

we arent scared:devil:

Not so quick my friend. If some of those land in the same districts, or in any districts with other large schools, remember only 1 will go DI. It's quiet possible to have a larger school win the DII title than wins the DI title. No doubt there will be several large schools in the DII bracket come playoff time, and many of those could be larger than some in the DI bracket. I havent done the research, but I'll bet there are several examples of that this year, in all classifications.

true in the past, but this year, LM lost to Lumberton. :eek: In Lumberton's FIRST TRIP EVER to the playoffs. That truly might qualify for a down year for LM.

But yes, LM is annually loaded with so much talent it generally does not matter much who their coach is. Or so I have heard. ;)

Burnet's placement into that district hinges on Canyon Lake..the new Comal ISD school which is supposed to be placed in 3A...I could see a district with them and the schools you mention minus Burnet...and Burnet going east with LH..Taylor etc....but I spoke with a fellow from Wimberley and he said he wouldn't be suprised to see a district with Wim, CL, Luling Marion and LaVernia and possibly Navarro depending on the numbers.
