When I first saw the teams, it looked like we would be the largest (D1) school, but apparently the numbers have changed significantly over the past two years.
Gladewater is now the largest school in the district followed closely by Pittsburg and Gilmer. Sabine and Mineola round out the enrollment numbers respectfully.
My only comment about this version of re-alignment is, "Thank God this happened this year! Let's face it. The Buckeyes are losing 17 starters from the 13-1 team this past year and are probably looking to rebuild a little. This district seems pretty conducive to a team that is rebuilding.
So, though we are probably not poised for another run at State, we should have a decent year. The non-district schedule as of now is:
Pine Tree (4A)
Paris (4A)
Lindale
Texarkana Pleasant Grove
Jefferson
Daingerfield
Maybe Coach Traylor decided to take a page out of Atlanta's playbook this year, and schedule some really good teams for the non-district part of the schedule. Hey, it can only help! Who really cares about the record? I'm sure the Atlanta Rabbits don't care about a 12-4 State Championship!
