Mavchamp Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 31 minutes ago, bordertown said: Exhibit A on why the UIL should make this an 8 team district. I'd love an 8 team district....but where would they come from? Creates some nightmare situations like we see Lufkin facing right now. Greenville? That's brutal. Greenville to Nac...YIKES. Greenville to Marshall and Hallsville is rough, although we've seen it a couple of alignments in the past. Crandall, Poteet, Ennis, Terrell. That's brutal to any of them to Texarkana, Marshall, and Nac. Corsicana to Texarkana, MP, Marshall..... even Nac. ----------- Our best bet to get an 8 team district is to either see Pine Tree or Sulphur Springs move back up, neither of which I expect to see. From what I understand, both are in enrollment decline. Our best hope to move up is probably Lindale because they are actually showing slow growth. After that.... Lufkin is the only one that's even a remote possibility.....and it's not likely. I don't see LP dropping to Division II anytime soon. They are a little over 200 above the cutoff if I recall correctly. Scheduling would be great with 8......but figuring out where #8 comes from is tricky. We need PT and Jax to beef up those enrollments and stay in the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimbodine Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Has anybody thought about this schedule that THS has? Murder. I know THS is very loaded this year but they could easily go 0-4 in this stretch. Stanford said he wanted a tough non district schedule and he got it. But it should make them stronger down the road as long as they don't get a lot of injuries. But on the bright side, Mavchamp can't go on and on about how the Mavs have the toughest schedule in 5A. Their schedule is a walk in the park compared to this nightmare.

Their schedule is a walk in the park compared to this nightmare. I’m didn’t realize my posts hurt your feelings. And I have never said we had THE toughest schedule in 5A. I said ONE of the toughest in 5A. Historically it’s annually been the toughest in our district. And it’s not even close. Considering we’ve been facing the likes of Longview, Carthage, McKinney North, New Caney, Tyler….. just to name a few over the last few years… I stand by my sentiments. I’m excited to see THS pull together a really tough schedule. I’ve always been a THS supporter other than when we play. Strange flex to drag my name….. but whatever.

I never dragged your name nor did I ever say the Mavs don't schedule tough games. They do. But so does THS and I would say their schedule for next year will probably be the toughest in all of 5A. But that is what the coach wanted. I don't care about the past but the schedule THS had last year was almost on par with Marshall. I've always appreciated what you do for this site and have told you that many times. But you do say that every year. If that offends you then so be it. Chill out. And I support all the schools in the district unless they are playing THS. Even Whitehouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the non district schedules for Pine Tree, Hallsville, Whitehouse….Mount Pleasant… Who has been playing a team like Carthage with a trophy case full of state championships? Or a Longview with their annual 4-5 rounds deep playoffs (sometimes in 6A no less). Longview and Carthage are each near the tops of their classifications the last few years in wins and deep playoff runs. I never said THS had a weak schedule last season. I know Lone Star and Colleyville Heritage were very good. Are they Carthage and Longview good? I don’t know. And I too cheer for the district after the playoffs start. Except Whitehouse. Guess you’re a better person than me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 The schedule posted by Coach Stanford on Twitter/X shows Midlothian Heritage at location to be determined. I guess that means neutral site, but it sure would be good to get that one at home. Otherwise, Tigers have only 4 home games - one in August, one in September, one is October, one in November. Three game stretch in September to Argyle (well over 400 mile round trip), then Midlothian Heritage (neutral site???), then Fayetteville (close to 500 miles round trip).
