Your right, doesn't seem to be a problem for 6A. Just divide up come playoff time. Did the 5A thing in football before the splits came along in 2014 and 2015, and it didn't benefit Lufkin either year finishing 6-5 and 7-4.

I agree

Just because 9-5A DI said NO, doesn't mean the UIL won't put Lufkin there. No one wants Lufkin there and then give up a possible playoff spot, they don't want to travel to Lufkin to play either. Same difference with the UIL making a nonsense move to put Lufkin traveling to three schools South of Ft Worth. Not good for Tyler either, and they are 3-4 hours round trip closer than Lufkin. No one wants Lufkin, 7-5A DI, they didn't want Lufkin because of the same long 7-8 hour round trips, they all voted unanimously to let Lufkin petition out. Not sure if 11-5A DI is in play or not, they may vote against Lufkin too. LOL - Just put us in an East Texas DII, we are playing almost all 5A DII teams already in all the other sports. This is just a mess.

Lufkin won't be there, they will be over in Region III where they belong. Anyone think HP moves to 6-5A ,and then W Mesquite and N Mesquite move to 7-5A?

Yea, I did mean JT, anyway, it's been a long day.

Glad to see this news from Matt Stepp. Hope they can work out something respectable, even 11-5A DI looks like a possibility if they move Crosby from 11-5A DI in with their rival Barbers Hill in 9-5A DI. Then Lufkin could possibly move into 11-5A DI. Don't care which district, either one will do over driving my life away going North.

No problem, not much difference, except HP has not yet formed their phycological block over Lufkin like Longview has done over Quick and staff. You guys get to play DeSoto in first couple of rounds, no cake walk either.!

Sorry, Lufkin really got screwed in this deal for the 200 mile plus mile travel trips in 7-5A DI, when they could have easily placed Lufkin South in district 9-5A DI or 11-5A DI, and traveled just 90-130 miles instead. Not great for Tyler either, but they are much closer to DFW than Lufkin, and Cleburne, Joshua and Burleson are all directly South of Ft Worth. No where close to Lufkin, anyone checked a map on that one?, someone at the UIL has a misconception of time and space between Lufkin and those schools. You can bet your bottom dollar too, that HP, Cleburne, Joshua and Burleson, even Midlothian, don't want to travel to Lufkin to play.

Don't think that at all, however add in the abilities of our current OC and OLC, we Lufkin fans, are always standing on Quick sand with those guys.
