    Default 4a D2 district-14

    Navarro and Wimberley really got screwed with this realignment. Hopefully both can find some solid pre-district games.

    What are you talking about? Austin Achieve, Manor New Tech, SA young men's leadership, and not to mention Austin East Side are some of the best flag football football programs in the area... its seriously sucks though, those teams should have to prove that they belong in a UIL district before just jumping in. They do not know what to expect. ES might actually be one of the better ones, the historically bad ES....

    New Tech actually beat Eastside this past year. Some really weak sisters here. Navarro and Wimberley should roll here.

    Do these charter schools have JV or freshman teams ? If they don’t , then that presents another scheduling problem for Navarro and Wimberley.

    Cant imagine that they do. Austin achieve doesnt even have a football field... they play their games on a soccer field with no lines

    Navarro

    Blount did not mince words when the*Gazette*talked to him Monday afternoon about the realignment.

    “It’s tough on us being in that district,” Blount said. “I think it’s going to hurt us this year and the effects of it will be long term.

    “It’s hard to find games for your junior highs and sub-varsity teams.”

    Wimberley is the one holdover from Navarro’s previous district, while Manor Tech, Austin Eastside Memorial, Austin Achieve and SA Young Men’s Leadership were added to the new district.

    “Manor said they would have a JV, but that’s it,” Blount said. “Eastside is not going to have a JV, freshman or junior high and Achieve Academy and SA Young Men’s Leadership is going to be the same way.

    “So we’re going to be scrambling to find games for our sub-varsities and having to send them every which way — and a bunch of 4A schools are going to be dealing with the same issue we are.”

    That the UIL put those four schools all in the same district, rather than splitting them up, creates an issue for a large part of the district season.

    “It’s hard enough when you’re trying to find them for one game or so,” Blount said. “But to look during everybody’s district play for a minimum of three games — it’s going to be hard to do.”

    Blount wasn’t sure exactly why the UIL chose to group the four schools together, but said it probably came down to location.

    “I guess just looking geographically that the UIL placed it like that,” he said. “I don’t think it was anything intentional, but those guys are kind of in the same area.”

    Blount is also concerned with the level of competition that those schools can provide for the Panthers.

    “That’s what prepared us for a good playoff run every year, to be battle tested and having to play hard every single week — that’s not going to be the case any more,” Blount said.

    Blount had some idea that at least a couple of those schools would be in the new district, “but I did not think it would be all four of them,” he said.

    “Manor Tech is coming up from 3A, it’s going to be Achieve Academy’s first year of playing football and it’s the same with SA Young Men’s — that’s three brand new schools.

    “But the main concern that I have is for our younger kids on our sub-varsities, who are we going to schedule?” Blount said. “You aren’t going to be able to play 4A’s because they aren’t going to be looking for games.”

    Blount was not sure what, if any, recourse the school might pursue with the UIL.

    In non-football sports, the foes are more familiar, as the Panthers will play Gonzales, Pleasanton, La Vernia and Cuero.
