The state soccer tournament is set... and since no one from this area made it... im rooting for palestine in 4A, because they're the team that knocked lumberton out... and they're from our region...

I have a friend that plays for Plano West (5A girls), so I guess I'll support them.  Man, I wish I could go watch these games...

Look for the topic of a 3A classification to be a major point of discussion at the TASCO meetings at the state tournament this weekend.  The number of schools in 4A is just going to be too big as many districts are trying to "cap" their newly built schools with 4A numbers to avoid becoming a "mega-school".  The 3A's keep jumping on board, too.  Locally, BC- probably, and HF - just rumored.  Other 3A's in our Region rumored to be getting soccer in the next couple of years are Giddings, Needville, and Seally.  It sure does help that a couple of 3A's (Palestine and Hidalgo) have crashed the party at the state tournament.  Don't look for any change next year, but re-alignment in 2008 for the '09 & '10 season will obviously be different, and I would look to crowning a 3A Champion in the '11 season.  Who knows...
