Birdville ISD and Frisco - 30 minutes from each other.... or 9 hours (587 Miles) from the southern end of Region IV

We can top that! 617 miles from the western edge of Region I.

Regions 3&4 playing each other north of Dallas. Kinda shows how ridiculous the UIL has become. Susan Elza needs to take a look at a map that covers all of Texas some day. Maybe she is just to busy making sure the SC sites can be rotated. LOL

The only game sites the UIL determines are the state championship games. The schools get to agree on the neutral site games. Blame it on your coach if you don't like where the game is being played, or the coin that was used...

CS and Carthage were going to flip for "home field". CS -Corsicana vs Carthage - Tyler. With the CS coach wanting to wait until Sunday I think both coaches came to the mutual agreement about Frisco after seeing what the weather had in store for this weekend.

Really. It's your coaches fault!

I think you're complaint is more that Waco area schools are in Region IV ???? In the last 8 years CS has been in Region I, III and IV. There are schools 30 minutes away that are in Region II. I think Liberty Hill has the same experience over time.

Regional champs from 3 & 4 being so far north that a site north of Dallas is chosen by anybody,is on the UIL not the coaches or anybody else.

No. Coaches agreed to play there.

You are missing my point.

[bansheefan03]

That's because both teams that won there region happen to be at the northern edge of there region that get swapped between region alot during realignment because of that too

[Saggy Aggie]

You are missing my point.

lol, yeah he is....

[Matthew328]

You are missing my point.

The issue is 4A Division I doesn't have a lot of schools that far south...just a weird geography quirk...Navasota has to play in a Southeast TX district just due to lack of Div I schools in that area....

whats your suggestion on fixing it?? Who should be in Reg III or Reg IV thats not already there?

[wyliefan]

Somethings that the UIL does, does not make sense, Argyle, Sanger and Gainsville being just off of I-35 being in Region 1 and then Mineral Wells and Springtown 60 + plus west of 35 being in Region 2. I would prefer we go back to the old rules and split the divisions based on the 4 teams from each district. Overall less travel for district games for most everyone.

Making sense. and. The UIL. In one sentence does not make sense. That's why I broke up those in the previous sentences.

There's always going to be some things that don't sense. Unfortunately, there's always going to be a lack of parity because of location of schools in such a large state.
