High Island and UIL?????

[AggiesAreWe]

I received word that High Island is choosing to not compete in UIL next season. Have not confirmed just yet if it's all sports (which I believe will be the case) or if it's certain sports.

I do know for a fact that HI will not play UIL basketball next season.

High Island struggled in every sport last few years.

It would be a shame, but certainly understandable. I believe their numbers have decreased steadily & see no change coming soon.

Is this an enrollment issue or participation thing?

Enrollment. Its a tiny community right on the coast. They graduate about 10-15 students per year, IIRC.

Both.

The enrollment has been basically the same over the last several years.

Some of these small schools need to merge with the next closest town.
