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.

Agree that just ain’t right. I bet lufkin ends up in another district. Just go south and call it a day. At worst be in the college station area. Dallas is ridiculous.

I’m still waiting on the district schedule to come out. With lufkin trying to leave the district 

I doubt anything is released until Lufkin's appeal is finalized

Do we know how long that takes . I imagine their request will be granted . Those Dallas schools aren’t excited about playing Lufkin either cause Tyler is bad enough.

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?

I Feel that Tyler should be appealing as well. You needing a couple teams to make out a south Ft Worth district so you s### on two East Texas teams and have the nerve to call it 7-5A.

My think is why did they move the mesquite schools from our district?

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.

I've always said, just take the largest 7 or 8 schools in East Texas and put us in a district. We don't have to worry about DFW or Houston area schools anymore. 

JT, Longview, Lufkin, Lee, Nacogdoches, T-High, Marshall, and Whitehouse. There you have it. They are in the same district anyway except for football. Lee being the lone exception since they are 6a.

Longview will be 6A next year.

D2 doesn’t matter in other sports just football. Which is something you already know.

They should get rid of the D1 D2 stuff and go back to the old classifications

I’m not convinced that it has evened the playing field much anyway. 

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 was never a big fan of pre slit to begin with. 

5A needs to go back to post split like 6A.
