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.

I'm starting to agree with this.
