I held off for the very same reason. I realize that this could (and probably ultimately will) be a hot button issue.

Hang on! Hang on! Gotta get reinforcements!

I, too, am surprised that this story has not been discussed here until now.

Last year in the very same district, WO-S did not.

No argument there. I can recall that the DI-DII idea was intended SOLELY for 6A (what was then 5A). For the UIL to go away from this and now use the idea more rigidly in lower classifications than in the Class for which it was initially intended reveals the true intentions of the UIL....15.

Hang on! Before things get too far underway, I need to get something and I think I might need the big gun on this one:

This will probably be taken the wrong way when I say it, so at the outset I will say the following: 1) I do support a season long DI-DII split in both 6A and 5A and in fact think it is even more necessary than in the classifications where such a split currently exists yet 2) I don't like systems that water down the race for the playoff and I firmly believe that the split should be accompanied by a reduction of teams from each district from 4 to 2. That being said, I have the following question for Cougar 14.2: You offer the above criticism of the DI-D2 split in Class 4A, but isn't the split that caused the above situation the very split that you are advocating for Class 5A?

I wish that Jasper would make it's way back to the Triangle, but I fear Matt Stepp has pretty much nailed what Region III will look like

I had heard that as well.

Yes, I had heard that, too.

Thanks!

The UIL is a creature of habit. I'd love to see Jasper in 9-4A-II, but I think they'll end up in 8-4A-II.
