dtsmith112 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Makes more sense than Lufkin going to Texas high and Mp. Yeah the extra 30 mins is killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Its the subvarsity games, basketball, baseball, girls, etc that is killer. Friday night games are one thing, but all the other stuff is exhausting. But there is no good answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
903native Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm thinking Nac and Lufkin go south. Leaving East Texas with a 9 team district Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack007 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Yeah the extra 30 mins is killer. Smh. Just say you don't know what you're talking about. It doesn't make sense for Lufkin to be in a district with T-high and Mp over one with Jacksonville and Whitehouse. You making jokes, doesn't change that.

903native Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Would love to see Thigh and Lufkin in the same district for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pack007 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 We dont wanna drive to Lufkin either. But we gonna do what we gotta do. Although i would like to see Lufkin play MP and THigh. Especially with all the history with THigh. Not any history with MP but could start some. I don't have a problem with either school and the Pack are used to traveling. I'm just saying that district with them over Whitehouse and Jville, doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacwagons Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm thinking Nac and Lufkin go south. Leaving East Texas with a 9 team district I am hearing Livingston turned in #s that will drop them down. I don't think they drop us with Livingston going down to 4a. Livingston is the bridge to Bryan/Huntsville/college st. District. It makes nonsense to send us that way now when our closest district oppentent would be 2 hours away. Â I think we stick with Whitehouse/jax/lindale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavchamp Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 That puts East Texas 5A in a tight spot for 2 districts with Longview, JT, and LP all going back up.   Texas High Marshall Hallsville Pine Tree Mount Pleasant Sulphur Springs Whitehouse Lindale Jacksonville Nacogdoches  I don't think UIL will throw us all into one huge district. But I doubt Ennis and Greenville stay with us.  Probably going to look something like this: North: Marshall, Texas High, MP, Hallsville , MP, SS South: Lindale, WH, Jacksonville, Corsicana, Nac  Or.... it's going to look something like it did back a few years ago: North: Texas High, MP, SS, RC, Greenville (and I would guess Sherman and/or Denison) South: Marshall, Hallsville, PT, WH, Jax, Nac (maybe Corsicana too)  Question is.... will UIL send LP south like they have been..... and Lee/Longview/JT to the metroplex? I think this seems most likely.  OR do they group LP with the others in Eastx and send them to Dallas too? Sure.... it farther to Dallas than Houston for LP.... BUT they would have 3 East Texas teams right in their backyard that they don't have down south to offset the travels to Dallas. Just a thought.  And just something to kick around..... could they send LP/LEE/JT south with LP? Not likely....but.... well......fun to think about. Even Centex would be interesting. But..... unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavchamp Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 They're not gonna make Lufkin go to Mesquite when it's closer to go to Houston. I don't think so either. Â But I never thought they would put Ennis in an East Texas district either when they are surrounded by other 5A schools in their own backyard.

firstandgoal Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I don't think so either. Â But I never thought they would put Ennis in an East Texas district either when they are surrounded by other 5A schools in their own backyard. Totally agree. Never say never anymore after the last realignment. Â I have a hard time seeing them making 2 5A districts with only 5 teams in each district when 4 will make the playoffs. It's more common to see that in the lower classifications. Â That being said I could see them putting MP, Greenville, SS, THigh with Royse City, Sherman, Denison. Â Leaving Lindale, WHouse, PT, JVille, Marshall, Hallsville, Nac and maybe Chapel Hill if they go up together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we are hearing that lp could be heading 6a...it changes the conversation....i think i30 group will head towards Dallas and leave east Texas in one 7-8 team district. Â Nac,lindale,jax,wh,pt,marsh and hallsville-add chapel hill if they come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboi2k13 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 It's all guess work which is good but we have no idea what the UIL will do but Lufkin heads south for sure JT, Longview Tyler Lee heads to Dallas area... I guess lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFAN99 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 That puts East Texas 5A in a tight spot for 2 districts with Longview, JT, and LP all going back up.   Texas High Marshall Hallsville Pine Tree Mount Pleasant Sulphur Springs Whitehouse Lindale Jacksonville Nacogdoches  If these are the 10 teams, then its an easy fix. Send Lindale and SS west and you have an 8 team district. Lindale can get to DfW on I20 and SS on I30 with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFAN99 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'll never expect Texas High to move up. Â Pretty locked in on those 1900 numbers plus Texarkana, Texas only has 37000. *4A Div I. You were right on Texarkana, but the size of the town means nothing. Hallsville has more students than Marshall and it only has 4000 residents. All depends on the size of the school district, and the make up of the town. Besides, Lufkin has roughly between 35000-40000 people and if not for Piney Woods Academy there would be nearly 2300 students at Lufkin. Got to remember Nash and Wake Village also attend Texas High.

You've got to remember Texarkana has four school districts within the city, all with good programs and facilities. Before Pleasant Grove high school was constructed Texas High would be solid 6-A. Probably with about 2700 students. That is the only reason THS went down in the first place. Also, why every school has its own stadium instead on one, like in most schools in this district. For a city of 70,000 to have four high schools and as good as they are only shows how much talent resides in that city. And then we'll talk about baseball another day.

The Real Mavfan Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 So between the current two 5A east texas districts we will probably lose Longview, JT, Lufkin to 6A and Ennis/Corsicana. That accounts for half of the playoff teams total. It would make east texas 5A considerably weaker and leaving Texas High & Marshall as the only 2 perennial playoff teams.
