Its happened before, a couple of times. 2000-2001 Vidor was in the "northern 4A (19-4A)" district with Silsbee , Ozen , Lumberton, Livingston and Jasper. '88-'94 Vidor was still in 22-5a after PNG and Ned dropped down to the old 20-4a.
The coaching hasn't changed since the previous seasons, including the last two under Barrow so stop it. Like I said a couple of weeks ago, its time to move some JV lineman up and give them the chance.
