Trinity, Desoto, and Duncanville may have something to say about them getting out of Reg 1

DisAgree 100% back a few years ago all the schools from the DAllas area are getting basically home game for State so they get up in there on bed a drive down the road versus a 5- 9 hour bus ride. That

High school football? No. North Shore may have something to say about that.

When you have almost 8000 students to draw from, have an almost unlimited budget, and you are at times 1.5 to 2X larger than every opponent you face, YES, they ought to be the "best".

I agree but they won't do that. Allen, in addition to all the other built in advantages they have, gets to have the SC games at home in AT&T every year. If Allen-NS does match up, play it in NRG for a change.

Yes!! Or go back to the old way where the teams got to pick neutral site. Back when  10-0 9-1 or 8-2 teams only got in playoffs, man dont get me started!

Can't do that.  Do that and high school football will turn into BCS college football.  In the sense that there will no longer be competitive preseason games in fear of having a loss or more on the overall record.  Don't get me started on THAT.. lol.

The Texas state championship games need to continue to be played at the best venue in the state.  Right now Cowboys Stadium is the best.  Besides, there is no statistical evidence to show that it matters..other than maybe convenience.

That absolutely makes a difference without a doubt. It should either rotate between the three covered stadiums or go back to flipping but the uil makes all their money off the stacked games they care less about how far some teams drive and others have a home game

 First U do know the only things that matters is district dont u? The non district is just to see what kind of team u have. 2 that stadium is trash. Why is it fair the let the north keep playing 5 miles from they home town. I bet u if it went back to old way, a&m would get some action. And its nothing wrong with that stadium. Or rotate it between crap world, Austin and san Antonio. We one need  true champion, at least u could say then ur the best of the best, and not ur the best of just that division. Jmo U CANT BE KING OF THE MOUNTAIN IF YOU'RE SHARING IT. UIL SUCKS BIG TIME!

Not true. It’s district record that determines playoff entrants not overall record. Pre-district means nothing. So top two just means less watered down. But it’s a moot point because there is no way in hell the UIL is going to drop a boat load of playoff games. Money talks folks.

I know that... I was replying to someone who said: "Back when  10-0 9-1 or 8-2 teams only got in playoffs".  And I misread what he said about the neutral sites.. I thought he was implying something about the team with the best record having something to do with location.  My fault.  You know.. in UIL sports other than football overall record does impact the state tourney seeding.  So don't act like it was such an insane thought that I had..even though I know that's not what was meant.

Of course.

All I was getting at when north shore and Allen play in the sc this year, I wish they could do it on their own terms. That's going to be a ball game.

I 100% agree, prep. Anyone who does not think there is an advantage in having "the home field ADVANTAGE" is either crazy or willfully ignorant.  
 

For many years Dallas area schools were winning state championships in Houston.  It also happens the other way around.  Anyone who ignores statistics is either crazy or willfully ignorant.

      So you are saying a star baseball SHOULD be doing full contact football drills during the baseball season as his Baseball team prepares for the playoffs?

      Roger.  I misread your comment. Perhaps the other sports will turn the corner sometime soon.

      I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.
