Snapshot day (realignment)

[DukeS]

This might be an unpopular opinion but the  idea of d1 and d2 during the regular is ridiculous for travel and budget purposes. 2-3 hour drives to play some district games is insane.

I could not see them opting up for travel reasons, would HF be opting up to get away from Silsbee?

I dont see either of them opting up. Those schools don't run from competition

I didn't think the opt-up crew from last time were either, I thought they claimed because of travel?

Maybe HF and WOS just want to follow them wherever they go for "travel" too lol

I'm reasonably well-connected out here at HF and haven't heard anything about this. But hey, you never know I guess.

I do not see them doing it either, I was just jesting at them possibly just trying to play the teams who avoided them last alignment lol

There's good arguments on both sides of it...there's a lot of 6A people clammoring for splitting too...

Bottom line is more supts want the split for football than dont...until there's enough in a class that ask the UIL to change they won't...same in 6A....enough supts are happy not being split that it wont change

Mid county schools traveling to Huntsville for a district game shouldn’t have ever happened… 

just like Mid County and Port Arthur Memorial a few years ago round 1 playoff games from the bottom of the state to the top of the state matchups. Hopefully UIL gets it together… no reason setx schools should be in region 2.

What’s the most common reason why they want to split?

competitive equity....if you have a district say 7-4A D1 and those teams were all in the same combined district you'd have a school with 1,200 kids in the D2 bracket because the top 3 teams are all over 1,200 playing schools with 600 kids....huge difference 

Its the biggest complaint about 6A is occasionally you'll get a really large school go D2 (Katy for example) and they dominate

Zero chance HJ would have made the playoffs in D2.
