In SETX, schools only opt up to play against lesser competition. Travel is not a factor.

Soft as Mississippi cotton. Being that close to top of enrollment for your district is perfect landing spot for almost every other school in the state i would imagine.

Y'all really sound like some losers talking about "why doesn't Carthage opt to play up?" Like, why would they do that? They are squarely in the middle of D2 numbers. Because they are successful? The schools mentioned that opted to play up probably did so for travel purposes, not because they thought it would be fair to the rest of D2.

I know you disagree. That's ok. Sometimes, it doesn't take a complex scheme. Sometimes you just have some dudes that can get it done. I still think Carthage wins, just think it will be a decent game. It's ok that you don't.

I wouldn't say it's still like that but home is still home. This team is better than some are making them out to be. Besides, I was told BC will be down 4 varsity players for this game.

It's been a while since I've caught a game in Sour Lake. I know it was an extremely tough place to play in the Todd Sutherland era. Is it still like that?

Ditto

Well cmon then, I got some expired kibbles n bits to feed them puppies 😁🙃

BC would've been biggest in region too likely. Everyone knows why they opted up. Explaining why to community and players is another story 🤣

Hardin will be 3A DII in football.

I would like that.

I don't know what division they'll fall into but Hardin didn't have any issues this year! Lol

Well, in this case it would help them travel wise. That DII district currently has Anderson-Shiro, New Waverly and Trinity. Also, Woodville and Newton are much longer drives than what they face currently.

I could see La Porte moving back in with BWB, PAM, etc. with BH & Crosby both moving up.

Well in Bridge City's case, it was to get an easier path to the playoffs. They opted up to avoid having WO-S and Silsbee in their district.

Fair point LOL

Even if it wasn't too late, why on earth would they opt up? lol

Gotcha.

Too late to opt up. Have to do that when submitting your snapshot. Can't wait till after cutoffs to opt up.

Any chance they opt up, making an 8 team district?

Not gonna lie, I like the coach and the team culture. Very impressed.

Local 4A DII district will basically be the same except Hardin-Jefferson will replace Tarkington. Unless for some reason UIL moves Shepherd somewhere else.

yeah. I meant the previous one.

I think it’s time for a different way to count the kids. The state knows exactly how many kids are in each school because they send “x” amount of dollars per kid, per day to the school districts. So, by knowing how much money is sent to the school districts you would know how many kids they have in attendance.

Are you really this sensitive or is this just a gimmick?
