LoboFan07 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Pardon my ignorance, but is it for sure that old 3A/new 4A will split into divisions for the regular season next year? Was that voted on and decided? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeSilverstar Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 So does this mean a team like chapel hill could play sulphur springs? Actually Chapel Hill is right on the fence of being 5a depending what the numbers are. You may be playing teams like JT each week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalEdge Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I couldn't disagree more. That's a horrible scenario for smaller schools playing in the small school bracket having to face schools twice their size who happen to also squeeze into the small school brackets with them. Prime example ... Garrison vs Celina in the 2001 2A Div II championship game ... Dividing the schools by Division I and II at realignment is the most positive thing the UIL has done in decades. So it is fair in other sports just not football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill5000 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Chapel hill should have 1000 kids or more. More than likely they will be 5a. I could see them in a district with lindale, Jacksonville, kilgore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see them in a district with lindale, Jacksonville, kilgore The projected 5A cutoff is 1,200. I seriously doubt Chapel Hill or Kilgore has added 240 kids in 2 years.

Ramo4 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I wished they would move 2a div 2 to around 170-225. That would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think chapel hill and Kilgore will be back together for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midgetsandcorndogs Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Conference/Division Teams Range 6A 245 2135+ 5A 230 1180-2134 4A, D-I 103 799-1179 4A, D-II 103 460-798 3A, D-I 110 298-459 3A, D-II 110 200-297 2A, D-I 84 151-199 2A, D-II 84 105-150 Thoughts? So, on another thread I read where the cutoff between 2A, D1 and 3A, DII would go up to 244. So, that would mean 3A, DII would go from 245 to what? 349? Making 3A, D1 around 350 to 500 or so? Any thoughts on the trickle effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highprofile1 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Are they going to make different divisions for basketball? The spread is extremely large for some schools to compete if we just do 1-6A and no splits ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means schools will range from 460-1180 in basketball. that is a huge gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The old 3A or new 4A has always had the worst enrollment spread from top to bottom. They really need to close the gap, even if it means not having a certain amount of schools\districts in that classification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCreek49 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Really, Texas probably needs 7 to 8 classifications! The classes have 2 divisions or big school and small schools as it is, so you might as well turn them into more classifications and less divisions within classifications.

We'll have 14 classes before long....whether they call it that or not is a different story. (7A is inevitable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 We'll have 14 classes before long....whether they call it that or not is a different story. (7A is inevitable) I agree. 7A WILL happen. But when? 6A has taken almost ten years longer to get here than I think most thought it should have....and in all honesty, it's not a true 6A like it SHOULD be. It's 6A in name only. Ultimately I think schools with 2600 (maybe as high as 3000) and higher will form a bigger conference. Tyler Lee just thinks they are an island now. If the 7A number falls within thier realm....they could end up doing some serious traveling for district play. Only thing I wonder....if 7A comes along for the "mega schools"..... what will 6A become? The celing of it's bracket being truncated to 2600 or so would make one think the bottom of that bracket would drop down down from 2200ish. But to what? Enough to no doubt send schools Like Longview and Lufkin to 6A......but how far would it drop?: Enough to take Texas High? Nacogdoches? Meh.....it'll happen. But it may still be a ways away at the pace UIL makes changes. I'm more interested in seeing how 5A and 6A shakes down this alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll take way less time to form a 7A just because, like you said, the 6A was only done in name only. We will all have set divisions prior to 7A happening. I think eventually, Longview/John Tyler/Texas High/Lufkin/Nacogdoches will be in the same district again in 6A D2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 MISD need to get these current elementary and middle schoolers in HS. Crazy high enrollments in K-6 this year. We have big numbers coming in the future....but still several years away I want them to get here so we can join you guys. But we should be back to the 1700ish mark in the next 5 years or so if what they are discussing with the bonds for the new schools is correct.

RedCreek49 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Florida - 8 classifications, Georgia - 6 classifications, Ohio - 7 classifications, Illinois - 8 classifications, Pennsylvania - 4 classifications Louisiana - 5 classifications, Tennessee - 6 classifications, Missouri - 6 classifications, South Carolina - 4 classifications, Wisconsin - 7 classifications California, who knows. It looks like the have 11 or 12 areas, each with their on Champion. Each area looks like they are divided into division from 3 divisions to as many as 12. Also, some may have 5 division and that have an open bracket division? Oklahoma - I see 2A - 6A listed and a separate classification that says class A, B and C. I do not know what that means for sure and wgere 1A is. New York, very confusing, I can't tell! North Carolina - confusing, looks like 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Louisiana actully has 9 classifications They have 1A-5A, but starting this year they also had a Div i through IV for magnet and non tradiational high schools and private schools. http://lhsaa.org/sports/brackets-results/football/ This was the first year they did it..... very controversial too.
