SOCCERBUFF Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Do you know of another one that has made it state before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenHornet Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 They are the only 3a team to ever make it to state. There is no 3a soccer district. All of the 3a schools play in 4a districts(for soccer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeldama2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Originally posted by SOCCERBUFFDo you know of another one that has made it state before? Once again, I admit my ignorance. Is soccer played in classes(1A-5A) like everything else? If so, is this the FIRST year for the state title to be contested? If not, there would have been a 3A champion before now. edit: My original post left out: Congratulations to the Wildcats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenHornet Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 No 3a does not have its own place in soccer. There are only 5a and 4a. All 3a schools must play in a 4a district if they have a soccer program otherwise they can't play. No other 3a team has ever made it this far.

Kudos++ seem to be in order in that case. How many years have they had a program at PHS? edit: Just curious. Do any lower class, 2A or 1A, play soccer?

QueenHornet Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I don't know of any 1a or 2a schools that do. But I could be wrong. They just don't have enough kids. Soccer season basically is year round. They can start practice right after Thanksgiving and the tourney play begins in Jan. Then district starts (during basketball/softball starts) and then playoffs are during softball and track season. Smaller schools just don't have enough kids to choose from or with the interest. They would have to play in a 4a district so it is difficult BUT IT CAN BE DONE!!! Go cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfacujackcat Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 congratulations on palestine making the 4a state tourney...it's great to see some of the east texas 4a's succeeding in soccer...may the cinderella run continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCCERBUFF Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 It is even greater seeing a 3A like Palestine making the 4A state tournament. Como-Pictin (sp) plays soccer but they are the only 2a school that I know of but they play a JV schedule because until there is 3A soccer they can't join. There is major discussion about splitting the 4A bracket into a big school little school format for next realignment........then maybe the next realignment after that you will have 3A soccer.

The bylaws state that a 2A can't compete for a championship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCCERBUFF Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Don't quote me on this but I think you cant play up two classifications. 3A can compete in 4A but a 2A can't compete above the 3A level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, this needs to be changed. If a lower class school wants to compete at a higher classification, they should be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfacujackcat Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 palestine is 4a in soccer...not sure why everyone keeps saying 3a...they ARE 3a in football, but they're considered a 4a school in soccer...i can't believe they're 3a in football anyway, palestine is bigger than kilgore and they're in class 4a in everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UIL lists Kilgore's enrollment as 1108. Palestine has 908. 1108>908, or that's how we do math here. Also, just because Palestine has to play 4A teams because there is no 3A classification, , it doesn't magically turn them into a 4A school for soccer season.
