Not only are you getting all of the premium articles such as this, but you now have access to computer poll rankings. That in itself is worth FAR more than what you're paying. I second this comment! Not only do you get the magazine (and before it is available on the stands to the rest of the Texas Football World, you have TONS of online information, podcasts, videos, etc. at your finger tips! And you get to hear Tepp & Stepp and see the lovely Ashley Pickle from time to time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 3 hours ago, upullinmychain said: 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 That is TRUE. There is no doubt people have left East Texas for the metroplex and the Houston area for jobs. Graduates don’t come back to their home towns like they used to. Some still do, but not like 30 and 40 years ago. The amazing growth of 5A schools in the metroplex and in the Houston area has pushed the 5A boundaries up higher. For example, when ‘Jacksonville was making their runs in the 1990s, we were D1 with the same number of students we have now. We have not deviated below 1150 or above 1300 for 40 years. The only thing that has changed inside those numbers are the demographics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so, but I've also seen where Nac goes south making the East Texas District 6 teams. Also have seen the idea that Nac stays and Greenville moves in keeping it at 8. (Greenville was in this district about 6 years ago so it's not that wild of an idea). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of a 6 team district, it would be a 5 team. It would make it tough to schedule games. I look for a couple of 4 team districts in Region 1.

Overton has a very small school zone. Mt Enterprise, has a larger zone...so thats the difference. Arp, West Rusk, and Price also have much larger zones., Thats why they have more students.

I know some have said DCTF has this group or some of it going to Region 3. I am not sure what they are seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved the Waco district to Region II from Region III to pair with the current District 5.....makes sense from a geography standpoint and makes bi-district travel easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
