I know GCISD is starting open enrollment for 2026-27. So, Sterling and GCM. As funding and budgets get crunched, more and more will probably turn to open enrollment. ISD's are usually one of the largest employers in an area. People in power in the communities won't let them go down. Too important.

As far as preseason DCTF 5AD1 rankings go for our district: 

#8 La Porte 

#9 Port Arthur Memorial

Any thoughts on DCTX district predictions? They're actually predicting 9-5AD1 to be one of the State's toughest 5A districts after looking at all the teams. I see--on paper--a lot of balance between teams. I don't really see any gimme games. Going to have to come to play each week.

The BU disrespect is a head-scratcher. 

I don't see WB making the playoffs. 

 

The rest of it looks fine to me.

Yep. R2 looks pretty salty to me from a depth perspective also. You'll finally get to see Bulldog. LP already has a countdown clock to the first game on their webpage. I'm ready. Last year left a bad taste.

Yup. I'm expecting R2 vs R3 in Arlington, just have to weed out the teams.
