Anybody know if there are official or unoffical geographic lines that designate a team as a "East-West-South-North" Texas team? It seems we all like to "claim" a team that is winning in any given year clos to our area as one of our "own". I always thought this was loosely defined by the Interstate Highways. You also have the smaller area designations used also, such as, "Metroplex", "Golden Triangle", "Centex", "Valley", etc.

Southeast Texas takes in the whole Golden Triangle. Bmt, Pt Arthur and Orange being the points. We encompass from Jasper to Sabine Pass, nort-south and from at least Colmesniel (sp) to Orange, west-east. Beaumont would be the hub. Barbers Hill is sort of the west most town, maybe Baytown as far as teams as you go down IH-10 toward Houston.
Like all of Texas we love our football in Southeast Texas.

The Coastal Bend as we discussed could probably be said to include everything from Brownsville to Orange, but we Corpus Christi area locals refer to "the coastal bend" as this immediate area around Corpus....as far as "The Valley" we around here tend to think of "The Valley" as anything around Alice and south of there.

We've (Cuero) always been talked about as a South Texas team... We're not far from SA (85 miles), not far from Austin (90) and not too far from Houston (around 120 depending on which way you go) and about 80 or so North of Corpus...
I guess we get stuck in there with the Coastal Bend Region, but I think they need to start calling it the..... Cuero Region

Bridgeport is always thought of as a "North Central" team on the fringe of the "Metroplex". We are 38mi. due West of Denton on Hwy 380. Our biggest industries are Oil&Gas and rock aggregates (5 of the biggest limestone rock quarries in the world are located within 5 mi. of Bridgeport.)
