Monte1076 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Six team district: Ennis, Corsicana, Jacksonville, Lindale, Nacogdoches, Whitehouse. Only real difference is JT and Lufkin, I believe, are missing. But IIRC they both went up to 6A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawboss Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 This helps a lot of the teams in this district, familiarity with teams, communication with familiar coaches, while putting some teams in the playoff venue that have struggled as of late. I feel most of the coaches in this district will be very pleased with this alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacwagons Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I agree, this makes more sense than having 1 tenteam district. Will Ennis have other sports play in a different district Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles14 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Wow. Good for East Texas Teams.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte1076 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 This also means that two teams from the district won't get in. Whoever makes it into the playoffs, though, will be rather battle tested, I'd think. What kinds of improvements have Lindale, Jacksonville, Whitehouse, and Nacogdoches made? I'm hearing Ennis is pretty loaded this year. Possibly more loaded than the 2014 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte1076 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 2 teams. It's six teams right? Not really You're right. I corrected the post. I'm not sure what I think of this district. The teams in the district went a cumulative 15-27, if my math is right. Ennis went 5-2, Nac, Lindale, and Cana all went 3-4, Jacksonville went 1-6, and Whitehouse went 0-7. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that all the teams have improved...but by how much I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacwagons Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Nac has a lot of returning players, but did lose their two most productive players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacwagons Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 We will go south for the playoffs, playing the college st/Waco district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte1076 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 We will go south for the playoffs, playing the college st/Waco district. I suppose the silver lining there is that there's the potential that it will be a lot of "new" teams that haven't been faced before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whousecats Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Temple coming off of 4 round run College Station, AM Consolidated, and Bryan all went 3 rounds deep. Waco was beat in round 1 by AM Consolidated. Def a tough first round draw for everyone in the district. Whitehouse should be improved, but by how much who knows. Ennis, Nac, Cana, Lindale, Whitehouse and Jville would be my waaaaayyy too early pick. With the 4 team format for playoffs, every team has a realistic chance of making it in.

firstandgoal Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 All these teams have seen a lot of each other the last few years. So not much new. I ageee, with only 6 teams and 4 making the playoffs, everyone has a realistic shot of getting in in this district. But it looks like the first round match ups could be brutal!

JTFAN99 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 UIL did a terrible job with these districts. Ennis and Corsicana have no business in this district. Too far to be driving to NAC. UIL also had no business putting Greenville back in East Texas. There were way better option. They could have had a all east Texas district if they did it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte1076 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I don't have dates yet, but I'm being told our non-district schedule is South Oak Cliff, John Tyler, Waxahachie, Manor, and Dallas Kimball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in this district last year. Their is no perfect solution for realignment every other year. Someone will always get screwed. At least they don't have to drive 4 plus hours every week like schools in West TX do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte1076 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 So, apparently Manor canceled on us. So I know the coaches and such in Ennis are looking for another non-district game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monte1076 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Lufkin is looking for a game. I don't know if they'd want either team going that far for a non-district game. But then again, I'm not the one setting up these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will always get screwed. At least they don't have to drive 4 plus hours every week like schools in West TX do. And they didn't belong in the district last yr either. I realize there is no perfect solution, but there was alot better solutions for all of 5a. They could have made an all east Texas district and put Ennis and Corsicana in a metroplex district. UIL did a terrible job for many districts. This was a much better solution I got from Texas4asports: Forney ISD (Forney, North), Greenville, Lindale, Mesquite ISD (Poteet, West), Royse City, Sulphur Springs Hallsville, Jacksonville, Longview Pine Tree, Marshall, Mount Pleasant, Nacogdoches, Texas, Whitehouse Arlington Seguin, Corsicana, Ennis, Mansfield ISD (Lake Ridge, Legacy, Summit, Timberview), Midlothian, Waxahachie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeelee Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Not sure what to expect next season. I know Lindale lost a few seniors but I'm hoping they play as hard as this past season. Should be a good year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted two East TX district's. The closest teams to make two district's in East TX was Corsicana and Ennis. There is no difference than JT, Lee, and Longview joining a North TX district. It is what it is. Saddle up and ride out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacwagons Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I personally like this alignment, we get to stay in east Texas. Ennis and Cana have a better chance making playoff runs in this district than they do in that Mansfield district. It is better for east Texas that we don't have to eliminate each other the first round of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
