We’ll be back up I’m sure as the lower classes at Alto are larger but I’ll take it for now….especially since I’ll have a senior on the team. His cousin sent him this message: “Don’t screw this up!” If what I have seen is correct, it definitely won’t be a cake walk.

TCU44 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 So the cut off for 5A D1 is 2224. I assume that’s how many students Highland Park has? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Frisco ISD decides to opt-up for Panther Creek to keep all their schools in the same classification. Amazing that Frisco now has 12 schools. Also amazing that Frisco is able to keep moving their attendance boundaries to equalize enrollment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a kid in that area he would be going to West Rusk just because of the athletic facilities alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there's certainly overlap (and their districts are drawn MUCH bigger), I don't see why Overton ISD continues to dwindle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had some battles with Tenaha! Hard to believe there are THAT MANY folks in Overton yet only 140 in HS. Kind of shocking from the outside looking in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, like I said, I’ll take it! Not saying that will happen this time because there are lots of examples of schools dropping and not making the run they thought they might. However, sometimes it works out: i.e. Garrison Bulldogs. We STILL have those BIG DAWGS on the schedule so we’ll see if us Pee Wee leaguesters can still compete! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And admittedly, I've been away from Overton for a few years now, so I don't pretend to be any kind of insider. I do know a little bit about the history of why and how the district lines were drawn way back when, but that's not really what I'm asking about...

Kids leave small towns and don't bring their kids back...chasing dreams, small towns become full of old folks that kids come and visit, you know the story Matt..old as time itself 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
