    Wylie, Lincoln, Carter, Silsbee, Yates, Wheatley, Aransas Pass?, Liberty Hill, and Paris all in 4A. If only Ozen and Dunbar would be allowed to drop as well.

    4A top 10-15 should be the most competitive conference next year and shouldn't even be close.

    If Ozen enrollment fells between 480-1099 then UIL should give them an opinion to move down to 4A.  If anyone doesn't like the current system please complain to UIL

    yup.  and keep in mind that in houston isd you have 47000 high school aged kids.  in HJ its' more like 650..  so when you divide it in half and take the girls out, Houston has approx 23,500 boys in it's district to fill the teams of 40 high schools,  HJ has approx 325 boys to fill one team.  HJ is lucky to get a college quality player or two every couple of years (generally juco, D2, or D3).  Houston has hundreds of them.  So when kids in houston can team up with their AAU buddies and field 4A teams full of D1 and D2 talent, despite being a town of over 2,000,000 people, it's pretty frustrating when you're a fan of a really good small school team such as Hardin-Jefferson (Sour Lake, population 1800) or Silsbee (population 6,700).  HJ made a really nice run last season, pulling a last second upset over a really good (and legit small 4A school) Navasota team, only to lose to Sterling and their team full of college kids, and then Sterling beat Silsbee two games later to go to state.  I thought that was crap then, and i still do now.  The fact that a whole lot more teams like that just dropped in is crap as well.  I'd love to see classifications be factored using school AND city size to keep stuff like this from happening.

    College kids? You trying to say they were too old? Or are you trying to say they were THAT good? Because on BOTH accounts you are so WRONG! They got BLASTED in the state title game last year! They weren't that good...They got hot during the playoffs, and ran off a few games, but they were so not good at all!

    WOW

    I think of 4A and lower as small town ball.  I don't like seeing these schools drop down, especially considering that the kids move wherever they want to play sports in those towns.  I'm honestly not sure why there are public schools being run with less than 1200 students in them when the city they are in has millions of people.  seems like a waste of taxpayer money to me.

    Please keep in mind there are more public, private and charter schools for kids to choice from in Houston then the smaller towns.  HISD is one of the largest school districts in the State of Texas, not to mention the other school districts in the area, Fort Bend ISD, Cypress ISD.  4A, 5A and 6A is basketball

    I agree Yates did lose to those teams (Oak Hill, Mater Dei, andFindlay Prep) by a large margin. Coach Wise agreed to play those teams knowing he did not have a team capable of competing with those teams but he wanted his players to get the experience of playing away from Texas. The only difference between Coach Wise (Yates) and Other Schools is Wise was not afraid to leave Texas and play those schools regardless of Yates classification.

    I'm curious how many of our ranked teams regardless of classification has ever played National Ranked Teams like Oak Hill, Mater Dei, Findley Prep or LaLumiere???
