IDK about edge in coaching after 3 huge blown leads last year? Losing that SR class is gonna hurt too. Who is the QB? LBs ?

Uil has no clue!

How many 3A schools have swim teams period? Y’all have too much durn money over there in Winnie… 😉

This will be our official realignment thread. Post all the realignment talk here. At 9am the UIL will release the classifications, divisions and districts. Post all this info here. Here is the UIL Realignment link: [Hidden Content] After the districts are revealed, we will post what districts we will be covering here on the site for the next two years.

Very very few. Usually it's just one school that appeals their district alignment. In this case, the whole district should appeal it's regional alignment.

I wonder if the schools in the district will appeal. They do have a window to appeal to UIL. I agree, this seems egregious.

even if someone is not a conspiracy theory type, things like waco/Killeen swapping with PNG/NED will damn near cause a person to.

Drumline be SLAMMIN’ in District 9! Except for BH.

I’m sure it’s been done.. but all of 5A D1 just screamed excitement lol

This district makes absolutely no sense Crosby and Angleton should have been switched but the UIL is dumb. Crosby Fort Bend Kempner Friendswood Houston Spring Woods Humble Kingwood Park La Porte New Caney Porter Pasadena

I’m so glad we don’t have to drive over an hour to half of our district games anymore!

Silsbee Non District Week 1 Vidor Week 2 LCM Week 3 Nederland Week 4 Beaumont West Brook Week 5 Hitchcock

I think Westbrook years back was in region2. When they were in Conroe district

Nederland has some BEAST's on defense in the 4 years I coached against them. Big, strong, fast and PHYSICAL. They would knock you in the dirt and tell you about it.

Neumann has only been a head coach at Nederland, he was an assistant at several other schools. He brought Ned back to the playoffs the first year he was there , missed the playoffs 2 years and then rattled off 11 straight appearances. And PNG was glad to see him go.

District 10 (Waco/Killeen) is Region 3. And District 8 (PNG/NED, etc) go Region 2. How does that make sense?

those are not in order.

Ok . Remove Westbrook and add Galveston Ball 😎 Beaumont has to be Pumped though to be in this district. For BH I just hate to be in a weak district then a weak round 1 match the get clobbered in round 2! Basketball should be crazy , but outside of that it’s downhill

a few years back when they put us(Jasper) in Reg 2 I thought that was the dumbest thing the uil could do. low and behold was I wrong! Location could be more justified than PNG/NED. GOD himself can't ever make that make any sense to me! SMH

If you knew where the overall program was at under the Neumann era and where the current state it is in you wouldn’t be asking this question…

The uil loves to change things up when giving the chance and opportunity!! I love change and chaos !!

19 5A will be tough. Not good seeing the 2 Beaumont schools drop down.

District 11 (currently region 3) should be in either region 1 or region 4 (if in region 4, move district 14 to region 1). And why would Liberty Hill be in district 11 (9 teams) instead of district 10 (six teams, and makes roughly as much geographic sense)? District 4 (currently region 1) should be in region 2. District 8 (png & Ned, currently region 2) should be in region 3. The right solution was under their noses. How do we go from a Houston area school to a Dallas area school? There are two entire districts closer to Dallas that could be in those northern regions. How does Liberty Hill moving into our region bump us to the entire other side of the bracket? Regardless, PNG will be a good team and this alignment makes for some interesting matchups, both in district and in the playoffs.

I know, this is the biggest bombshell of the day for all of UIL imo

Until recently, all golden triangle schools have been in region 3 since the 70's until recently beginning with Westbrook

These will be the districts that we will cover here at SETXsports: 23-6A (Goose Creek Memorial, Channelview, North Shore, Humble, Atascocita, Summer Creek, Kingwood, CE King) 9-5A DI (Baytown Sterling, Beaumont United, Beaumont West Brook, Galveston Ball, Barbers Hill, Lufkin, PA Memorial) 11-5A DI (Crosby, FB Kempner, Friendswood, Spring Woods, Kingwood Park, La Porte, Porter, Pasadena) 8-5A DII (Dayton, Huntsville, Montgomery, Lake Creek, Nederland, West Fork, Port Neches-Groves, Splendora) 10-4A DI (Bridge City, Hardin-Jefferson, Huffman, Liberty, Livingston, Lumberton, LC-M, Vidor) 9-4A DII (Tarkington, Hamshire-Fannett, Jasper, Shepherd, Silsbee, WO-S) 9-3A DI (Crockett, Diboll, Fairfield, Huntington, Palestine Westwood, Teague) 10-3A DI (Anahuac, Buna, Coldspring, East Chambers, Hardin, Kirbyville, Orangefield) 12-3A DII ( Anderson-Shiro, Kountze, New Waverly, Newton, Trinity, Warren, Woodville) 11-2A DI (Garrison, Hemphill, Joaquin, San Augustine, Shelbyville, Timpson) 12-2A DII (Colmesneil, Deweyville, Evadale, Sabine Pass, West Hardin, West Sabine, Hull-Daisetta) 12-1A DI (Apple Springs, Burkeville, Chester, High Island) If I have missed a district that we should cover here, please let me know.

HJ vs Huffman will be interesting. HJ played them close in the first matchup and seems to be playing much better the last few games. Wouldn't be shocked if HJ wins.

Shut up. SFA gets no respect and it stops now. @Austin1985 Edited: Language

lol I bet they are content playing whoever that’s gotten them to the state championship back to back years I’d imagine

Word on the street was png didn't wanna play us anymore. I can see why. 4-1. It's cool.

Idc what they say bout you: you outchea lol

Well, today I guess we get to find out who we're going 2-8 against next season? Have new QB transferring in which fits more along the lines of what Willis wants to run but as far as talent retention the wheels continue to come off. The Austin Walter-like stud freshman running back transferred out a few weeks ago and we may be losing the Craig Williams clone out of the same class. Going to be a depressing journey until we can get a coach who can pump some life back into the program.

C-C/SA game Friday night will be a good one. United/WB will be for sole 2nd in 21-6A.

Almost every team will have week 1, 2 and 3 non-district games. They all try to fill a schedule. If you wait till after the new alignment you will be stuck with no games or driving a long ways.

THE only place that I ever hear that announcement.

It's "call your ride" time 😂

Negative ghost rider!!!!!!

I like PNG’s non district schedule the last few years. - 1 decently easy win. You can get some different kids in and try some new things. - 1 team that’s pretty equal. You have to play a complete game to win. -1 team that’s better than you. You can learn a lot about your team from all 3 of those type games. I’m not a fan of scheduling 0-3 and getting beat up before district. Monte still may have a job if he didn’t schedule 0-3 starts the last few years. Also with the out of town districts, I doubt coaches will be looking to travel much for non district games. We’ve had enough early releases from school the last few years…..

Something needs to happen because thread is going nowhere fast. Let me just say one thing. If you bring in the right AD/Coach the athletes will follow. Then the fans.

Not to be a negative Nancy, but having some good groups come through in JH usually doesn't translate to HS success. Back when I was in JH school, we destroyed everyone, went undefeated and were "district champs". Senior year in HS we went 5-5 and our coach got canned at the end of the year. 🤷‍♂️

True statements, but Nederland aren't really missing any kids that can truly help, maybe two or three that won't make a huge difference in outcomes of the game. There may be some Dads in here who kids aren't playing that feel a type of way, but the talent pool just isn't there. They're some Basketball players that could help right away, but they only play Basketball, which I hear is encouraged by the Head BB Coach! The AD will have to change that and emphasize to ALL coaches that he wants his athletic program having multi-sport athletes as a requirement. Something Barrow didn't really harp on. I do believe a 180 degree change in culture, and getting out of the prehistoric ways of athletics is concerned can/will change things. But it will take about 4-5 years or maybe longer for a long run in the playoffs.

It is also nice to have multiple athletes 6'-3"+, 280+ to shore up the trenches..... I haven't seen many of those walking around NHS

Right - this is something I think needs to be underlined. Joseph inherited a healthy program with kids who had won several key games and had had a deep-ish playoff run. He didn’t have to “rebuild” so much as “redirect.” It sounds like Nederland will need to do something closer to a true rebuild. That’s going to be key in how people evaluate the new guy. If the standard is “do exactly what png did and go straight to state,” that’s probably not going to work, because Faircloth left PNG in a state that is ahead of schedule relative to where Nederland is. But, I don’t think we’re talking a several year rebuild. I think Nederland just needs to get kids back , get more kids in, hit the weight room better and structure themselves to go toe-to-toe with the power and conditioning of elite programs. They aren’t far off - If Nederland had 1% improvements across every category of improvement, they become an entirely different team. A lot of Nedeand’s woes amount to just being left behind, not so much getting worse . The last two years, Barrow would probably have gone at least 1-1 against PNG if Faircloth had stayed the coach, because Faircloth built his teams the way Barrow does - Poor conditioning, low strength training, no attention to defense, and just hope you win by two points in a shootout. Joseph doesn’t do that, and he showed that there‘a a recipe for the mid county schools to compete at the highest level. Nederland can do it too, but given the current state of the program it might take a year or two to really see the results. But it could also be immediate, as we’ve seen.

Things at PNG wasn't as bad as they were towards the end at Nederland. PNG probably had the good players from the halls that were already playing when the new coach got there. Kids quit and never came out because how bad Nederland had become. Get the right coach and start winning and you'll see how many kids you'll have available.

Whoever takes the Nederland will be setting their own ways and culture that’s what happens when a Head Coach takes over… PNG in 2008 2-7 Faircloth comes in set his culture rebuild in year 1 in 2009 11-1… Peevey at LCM year before he got there 1-7 when Peevey arrived 11-3… there’s a lot of talent walking them halls and lot of kids specializing in only 1 sport, gotta get those kids back into the program and play multiple sports. Coaching staff got very stale and ran its course. Gotta stop the family and friends and hiring and start the hiring best qualified coach which I’m hoping NISD has learned its lesson on that one…. Starts at the top and they are making a change a step imo in the right direction.

For Port Arthur Memorial in my opinion: If 2 games: Png Humble High If 3 games: Png Humble High Jasper If 4 games: Png Humble High Jasper Iowa Colony
