Don’t really understand this.  What is the reason, are they trying to avoid something or is there some advantage to it?  This means they cannot compete in the state tourney?

Correct. They will not be eligible for UIL playoffs next season.

Most likely waiting for a more favorable realignment.

It may be that they don't have enough in the program to feel like they could complete a district schedule.  It is kind of early, but the UIL wants them to do this at this time so the rest of the district can figure out what it wants to do.  And it beats the alternative of forfeiting district games which, in seasons other than 2020, can bring a pretty stiff penalty from the UIL

No, they will not be eligible for the UIL playoffs.

Thanks for the replies, I think I remember Sabine Pass doing it a few years back.

You're right, they did.  But they waited until late in the summer to do it and that really po'd the other schools in the district as it was too late for them to schedule around it.

You can schedule them for non-district.

I doubt they'll schedule anyone they don't think they can beat.  Otherwise they would've played the schedule given to them.  In my opinion..

I'm sure they'll be scheduling Burkeville, Sabine Pass, Colmesneil, High Island, etc..  Possibly twice if any of them will agree to it.  Maybe some 3A jv teams.

Even as a person who has disliked West Hardin for a very long time, this is sad to hear about.  I also can't believe that I agree with something that oldschool said.  Not many kids are going to be excited to play a full season of games that don't really mean anything.  Hate it for the kids over there

Playoffs? Playoffs?! I do not think they were in any danger of having to worry about playoffs anyhow. 

Absolutely right.  I think that every coach in the state should assess their school's individual situation each classification year.  Better yet.. each season.  If it's deemed by the staff based on strength of district competition or loss of players to graduation, they should let UIL know that they're just gonna play an outlaw season.  As opposed to the regularly scheduled district that UIL came up with due to enrollment and geographic location.  If they're not "in any danger of having to worry about playoffs anyhow", just make it easy on everyone else.  That way, the remaining teams in each district across the state can just play it out for seeding.

I think this is fantastic, West Hardin High School.  You guys are the trend setters.  Way to lead into the new decade!  Can't win? No worries.. just play schools you can beat. ;)

I'm not sure they can get a schedule of ten teams they can beat.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
