But that's assuming that UIL sticks to 16 team districts.  I would hope that in 4A and below that there are fewer than 16 districts so we don't end up with 5-6 team districts.

I based the assumption of 16 districts that on two other assumptions:

1. The UIL has historically stuck to 16 districts per classification.
2. Fewer districts would mean smaller bracket/fewer playoff games/less money from playoffs...

Based on the number of schools in each division and given 16 districts in each division. It looks like a lot of 5-6 team districts. Those that don't like 5 team districts and were hoping for 7-8 team districts won't get their wish except maybe in 5A

Avg number of teams in a district:

5A D1: 126 schools/16= 7.875= average, 7-8 team districts.  5AD2: 127 schools/16= 7.9375= average 7-8 team districts

4AD1: 93 schools/16= 5.8125= average 5-6 team districts.    4AD2: 90 schools/16= 5.625= average 5-6 team districts

3AD1: 106 schools/16= 6.625= average 6-7 team districts.    3AD2; 105 schools/16= 6.5625= average 6-7 team districts

2AD1; 94 schools/16= 5.875= average 5-6 team districts.      2AD2: 93 schools/16= 5.8125= average 5-6 team districts 

Have no idea how many districts there are in 1A....I just know it's different than the other classes.

Obviously geography may dictate some districts that are larger or smaller than the average (it always does).

Don't know that this post has any relevance, but I'm bored this morning and thought this might help when y'all start speculating about who's in what district.....LOL

 

 

I've no skin in this game. Have no opinion about what a combined school should be named....that's the people of Beaumont's  business. 

That said, I thought I might a contribution based on the suggestion of hurricanes in black and silver:

Logo:

Silver helmet, Black outline of Texas, Dot (or make it a star) from the logo at Beaumont, Hurricane symbol around the dot (or star)....

I'm not tech savvy enough to make a helmet and put it all together

 

NRG won't lay claim to anyone and you can't claim a stadium, you have to make it yours. PNG made the Astrodome their "Dome away from Home" because they played there often and won there often. Same thing with NRG...whoever gets there often and wins there often can claim it as their home away from home....everyone else can just be excited to be in the playoffs long enough to get to play in a pro stadium....

A reminder, as we will have Thursday games so the deadline will be Thursday at 7.

I've never really understood why the UIL uses a snapshot of enrollment on a particular day to determine school enrollment. It seems to me that more accurate enrollment figures, thus avoiding a situation such as occurred with Livingston last time, by using the TEA enrollment numbers. Schools don't understate their enrollment numbers when state funding is on the line....LOL. It seems like the enrollment numbers for state funding would be public information and relatively easy to access. Of course you would still have those high growth districts that would, because of that growth, have enrollments potentially larger than the cut-off number for their classification. Not sure there is any way to resolve that issue, but using the numbers for state funding might address the issue of under reporting enrollment numbers.

 This post got messed up, submitted before I was finished.. I will try a repost...LOL

Sad news...RIP Liltex...prayers for his family. This forum won't be the same without him.

Doesn't really say how it happened. Had it been so long since PNG lifted a trophy that they forgot how to do it?

Prayers Up!! have never met him but based on his posts have always thought he's a pretty cool guy.
