Not sure how I feel about that. I like the fact that the move to 11 man indicates that there is increased enthusiasm, if not enrollment, has increased down in High Island. It is just that I remember the last few years that High Island was in 11 man with Coach Jones, they were playing essentially playing iron man football at every position. Any injuries could lead to forfeitures which is already a problem in District 12-2A-II, which is purportedly the district that they would be aligned to. Sabine Pass has cancelled their district schedule, Burkeville, which has a 6man eligible enrollment, will probably have a similar problem unless Coach Williams can work some magic. Good luck to them none the less.
