Mavchamp Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Was discussing this last night with a few other fans..... Can you ever remember a season with more "bad weather" than this season??? I can only recall three "good weather games" this season for Marshall: Longview, Carthage, and Hallsville. And ALL of our home games had bad weather of some kind. Every other game was either raining during, wet because it had been raining, or cold, .... or my favorite.... cold and wet. Our game with Tyler Lee was delayed over 2 hours for lightning and rained throughout (home) Longview and Carthage had great weather (both on the road) Lindale was wet..never rained during the game, but everything was wet. (home) Hallsville was nice (on the road) Mount Pleasant was played in the chilly and damp/mist (home) Jacksonville was COLD. (road) Nacogdoches COLD AND RAIN (home) Whitehouse Chilly upper 40's (Away) Pine Tree COOOOOOLD low 40's (home) Huntsville COLD in upper 30's I just can't ever remember having a season where we never had nice weather at a home game. No doubt affected attendance, especially the nights it was raining. Never really remember so many unpleasant weather nights on Fridays in general for one season. Just wondered if any one else noticed it this season..... kinda miserable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched them play Lindale on Thursday of week one and they were pretty bad. Not sure what kind of season they had. Curious to know when the UIL will announce the cutoff numbers. Seems like it was in November back in 2017. I heard the first week in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time 5A Div II cutoffs were 1150 – 1839 If it stays the same or doesn’t increase much, Kaufman is a lock to move. If it goes up by 50.... looks like they stay. Hard to predict how much it will change since this is the first alignment since the split. Before the split the bottom number would increase anywhere from 50-100. Splitting it may slow that down. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many things that can change the landscape.... IMHO...the most seismic being the placement of Texas High. If they drop to D-2, they immediately become a district champion threat no matter what district they are placed in (West I-30 or South district). Of course...... if Longview drops to 5A-D1 is a huge change too. Will make the road to the playoffs and the district title much harder not only for John Tyler, but Texas High if they remain up... and the rest of the district. And oddly.... Longview would remain in a metroplex district minus JT and THS. So travel wise... no real change for them. How much does 9-5A change? With THS up in the air....RC maybe moving up..... then Ennis and Corsicana possibly going South or West..... along with Kaufman going 4A-D-1 makes this all very cloudy. Could East Texas go to ONE 5A-D2 district instead of two? The possibility of a 9 team district could be looming... which makes non-district scheduling interesting. If everyone in East Texas ends up in the same district... that means they either play down (4A) or they play up (5A DI or 6A). Letting old series go for new series I think will be another big talking point this off season. Will be interesting. Getting these numbers this week is the first step.

Nacwagons Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I am very concerned about going south for football!!! That will add a lot of drive time to our team every team is over an hour and half from us!! Lufkin has done it for years and I hate that too!! The split has really killed LP from forming a district rival because of the distance. The teams will be about the same as far as our record. The other sports would most likely stay with East Texas and split into 2-districts adding Longview to the current district splits. Staying North and having a 9 team district may be the only way we can get out of playing LP!!! This is the projected southern district for Nac. 1 Kingwood Park 2 A&M Cons 3 Huntsville 4 Bryan Rudder 5 Montgomery 6 Montgomery Lake Creek 7 Nac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 I agree..... I'd prefer to see LP and Nac stay in East Texas districts..... but for now.... seems like that ship has sailed. Nac has a better chance of remaining IN ETX because there are so many 5A-D2 schools in East Texas that can be grouped together. LP is tougher because of geography AND a lack of East Texas 5A D1 schools. They are forced to travel no matter where they go.... so South makes the most sense. Ideally.... I wish we could have a 5A D1 district...but we'd need Lee to drop and someone from 5A-D2 to move up... and no one is really close except Nac lol. I think MP is next...but it's not really that close for them. East Texas 5A D1 district: Texas High Longview Lee John Tyler Nacogdoches Lufkin We really need MP or Hallsville, or WH to move up...but I don't see any of that happening anytime soon. East Texas 5A D2 district: Mount Pleasant Sulphur Springs Marshall Hallsville Marshall Pine Tree Jacksonville Lindale Those are perfect world alignments.... too many things need to happen for those to happen. Like Lee's enrollment dropping, Nac's growing, and someone else jumping up to D1. None of these are happening in the next 4 years or so I don't suspect. Soooo..... will likely be more status quo for LP. And of course Longview/JT/Texarkana will still be in the metroplex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Lee's enrollment dropping, Nac's growing, and someone else jumping up to D1. Can I be the first to Vote NO!!! I agree, I think this is the only way LP comes up but No just NO!!!:) The smaller schools around Nac are growing faster then Nac. Nacs # is down 50 from last count. Unless we go on 4-5 year run of success or a huge industrial plant opens, we won't see a huge change in school size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacwagons Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I think Kaufman, Lindale and Texas High are the ones that decide how this goes!! Maybe even Mesquite Poteet to some extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namely..... who drops/goes up to find a place for Corsicana and Ennis. Terrell? Forney? Greenville? Sulp Springs? Royse City? West Mesquite? Poteet? Texas High? Longview? So many moving parts.
