Rain slowly moving out of Southeast Texas Comments 0 | Recommend 0 October 30, 2009 7:49 AM Scott Lawrence A strong cold front is moving through Southeast Texas and a line of storms will slowly move out, with light showers persisting in some areas until Friday afternoon. No flooding is reporting and Ofc. Crystal Holmes with the Beaumont Police Department told KFDM News all underpasses are open. There is standing water on some roads and police advise drivers to use caution. Rainfall totals are about 1-3 inches in Southeast Texas and the Lakes Area. Drier and cooler air will bring temperatures down to the 50's for the high on Friday with lows in the 40's. The high Saturday will be in the lower 60's with the low in the upper 40's for Halloween night. The forecast from Sunday through Friday calls for beautiful weather with highs in the 70's and lows in the upper 40's to 50's, then moving into the 60's later in the week.

Looks like rain will end this afternoon!

1-3 inches likely Thursday night and Friday til mid afternnon or so. Light rain will continue until llate in the day.

Houston area has had 5-8 inches. Luckily the line is weakening but we'll see plenty here. Hopefully the rain will be gone before kickoff.

Looks wet Thursday into Friday night. Fields will NOT be good!

FROM SMOAKY.com (Got this from Buck Cargal on huddleuptexas.com) 2008 UIL 2A -- 200 to 429 Divisional cut would have been: 294+ (103 teams each, counting Ponder) 16 districts each, 2 playoff teams. 2008 ADMs are included after each school. (Number in parenthesis is its assigned 2008 district) (I tried to make it as balanced as possible between districts, but in a couple of situations I assumed that UIL would go unbalanced to keep from pulling one school from a centralized group and putting it into a far-flung district.) Some notes included: DIVISION I Smallest: Alpine 294, Hearne 294, Paradise 294, Elysian Fields 296, Ballinger 299, Jacksboro 299. District 1 -- 6 teams Amarillo* River Road (1) 398 Bushland (1) 339 Childress (2) 311 Friona (2) 328 Muleshoe (2) 358 Tulia (2) 300 District 2 -- 5 teams Denver City (3) 374 Littlefield (3) 413 Ransom Canyon Roosevelt (3) 329 Shallowater (3) 404 Slaton (3) 346 District 3 -- 7 teams Alpine (4) 294 Ballinger (7) 299 Brady (8) 391 Grape Creek (7) 347 Kermit (4) 365 Presidio (4) 388 Wall (7) 331 District 4 -- 9 teams Bangs (8) 329 Clyde (6) 419 Coleman (8) 316 Comanche (8) 338 Dublin (8) 324 Early (8) 406 Eastland (6) 325 Merkel (6) 359 Tuscola Jim Ned (7) 340 NOTE: Somebody could go west to District 3, to balance at eight teams each. Tuscola would be a candidate. However, this is an example where I figured UIL might make a play to reduce their travel considerably. District 5 -- 5 teams Bowie (5) 419 Boyd (9) 339 Jacksboro (9) 299 Paradise (9) 294 #--Ponder (10) 312 District 6 -- 6 teams Aubrey (10) 422 Caddo Mills (13) 387 Callisburg (10) 349 Gunter (11) 310 Pilot Point (10) 429 Pottsboro (10) 395 NOTE: That's a LOADED football district!!!! District 7 -- 7 teams Daingerfield (17) 376 Hooks (12) 356 Hughes Springs (17) 315 Pattonville Prairiland (12) 348 Queen City (17) 344 Redwater (12) 366 Winnsboro (13) 399 District 8 -- 8 teams Big Sandy (18) 314 Elysian Fields (18) 296 Grand Saline (13) 333 Jefferson (17) 385 Liberty City Sabine (18) 392 New Diana (18) 293 Quitman (13) 331 White Oak (18) 399 District 9 -- 7 teams Blooming Grove (14) 334 Clifton (16) 359 Godley (15) 411 Grandview (15) 341 Dallas Life Oak Cliff (15) 352 Malakoff (14) 339 Palmer (15) 328 NOTE: Malakoff could swing to another district. But this one made most travel since, though still not anywhere near ideal. District 10 -- 8 teams Bruceville-Eddy (16) 304 Elkhart (19) 357 Hearne (20) 294 Little River Academy (25) 335 Marlin (20) 379 McGregor (16) 327 Teague (20) 375 Troy (16) 383 NOTE: Elkhart and Teague are at a huge travel disadvantage here. It would have been the same going east. Elkhart and Teague are out on an island, stuck between Waco and Lufkin. District 11 -- 7 teams Buna (23) 387 Hardin (23) 360 Hemphill (22) 311 Kirbyville (22) 426 Kountze (23) 403 Newton (22) 378 Warren (23) 356 Woodville (22) 358 NOTE: Deweyville is the only current 23-2A member that would not have made D1. Isolated on the SE Texas-Louisiana border in the D2 format, it would be expected that DHS would declare up to Division I to remain with most of its 23-2A mates. District 12 -- 7 teams Altair Rice Consolidated (26) -- 343 Anahuac (23) 412 Hallettsville (26) --337 Hempstead (26) -- 356 Hitchcock (29) 346 Van Vleck (29) 295 Winnie East Chambers (23) 368 NOTE: Anahuac is the western (and southern) most member of current 23-2A. With quick access to the interstate, it would be suitable to join Houston-area members on the west side of the channel. Anahuac would be needed to make a six-team district. Hallettsville lies halfway between Houston and San Antonio, making it a candidate to go further west. However, the lack of 2A-I schools around Houston, and with Rice Consolidated close by to the east, Hallettsville is needed here to make a full district. The six schools surround metropolitan Houston on all sides. District 13 -- 9 teams Blanco (27) 322 Comfort (27) 382 Florence (25) 325 Geronimo Navarro (28) 429 Lago Vista (25) 369 Lexington (25) 300 Salado (25) 397 SA/FSH Cole (27) 334 UC/RF Randolph (27) 306 NOTE: Seemingly, UIL would want to pull one out of this district and move to 15, to balance the districts. The one to get pulled would be Cole or Randolph. And how you decide between them I'm not real sure. District 15 -- 7 teams Cotulla (31) 344 George West (31) 360 Jourdanton (31) 359 Natalia (31) 305 Odem (30) 313 Taft (30) 351 Vanderbilt Industrial (29) 328 District 16 -- 5 teams Bishop (32) 352 Hebbronville (32) 305 San Diego (32) 404 Santa Rosa (32) 343 ============================================== DIVISION II Largest: New Diana 293, Trinity 293, Corrigan-Camden 292, Arp 291, Franklin 291, Howe 291, Millsap 291, Rosebud-Lott 291, Dimmitt 289. Other notables to stay down: Arp, Cisco, Holliday, Lone Oak, New Waverly, Paul Pewitt, Refugio. District 1 -- 6 teams Amarillo* Highland Park (1) 216 Dimmitt (2) 289 Floydada (2) 273 Panhandle (1) 247 Sanford-Fritch (1) 261 Spearman (1) 228 District 2 -- 8 teams Abernathy (3) 223 Coahoma (7) 248 Colorado City (7) 281 Idalou (3) 263 Ozona (4) 235 Post (3) 253 Reagan County (4) 236 Sonora (4) 276 District 3 -- 6 teams Anson (6) 216 Cisco (6) 266 Millsap (9) 291 Olney (5) 205 Hawley (6) 221 San Saba (8) 228 NOTE: This would shape up as a five-team district. But with a 7-team next door, Olney would be the western-most team to get pulled over (like Graham was in 3A). District 4 -- 6 teams Alvord (9) 236 Chico (9) 216 Henrietta (5) 280 Holliday (5) 255 Nocona (5) 261 WF* City View (5) 281 District 5 -- 8 teams Bells (11) 238 Howe (11) 291 Leonard (11) 278 Melissa (11) 282 Sadler S&S Consolidated (10) 276 Tom Bean (11) 284 Valley View (10) 223 Whitewright (11) 240 District 6 -- 6 teams Bogata Rivercrest (12) 230 Clarksville (12) 243 DeKalb (12) 282 Honey Grove (11) 208 Omaha-Naples Paul Pewitt (12) 279 Paris* Chisum (12) 268 District 7 -- 6 teams Alba-Golden (13) 238 Como-Pickton (13) 231 Cooper (13) 289 Edgewood (14) 283 Lone Oak (13) 282 #--Sunnyvale (14) 213 District 8 -- 6 teams Kerens (14) 213 Maypearl (15) 286 Mildred (14) 221 Rice (14) 204 Rio Vista (15) 267 Scurry-Rosser (14) 272 District 9 -- 5 teams Linden-Kildare (17) 247 Ore City (17) 262 Harleton (18) 214 New Diana (18) 293 Union Grove (18) 247 Winona (18) 284 District 10 -- 8 teams Crawford (16) 208 Franklin (20) 291 Hamilton (16) 256 Hico (16) 246 Jarrell (25) 245 Moody (16) 201 Rogers (25) 258 Rosebud-Lott (20) 291 NOTE: There are long drives to Hico and Hamilton. But there wasn't any better place for those two to go.. It was reasonably workable, until Franklin showed up. Well east of Waco. Now that's a damned hike to Hico and Hamilton!!! But if Franklin goes east, it's hikes get worse having to wind through the woods. Figure that if this district came about, Franklin agrees to play those two schools in Waco, and/or on a Saturday. Distrtict 11 -- 7 teams Arp (19) 291 Frankston (19) 250 Garrison (19) 204 New London West Rusk (19) 260 San Augustine (22) 243 Shelbyville (22) 207 Troup (19) 269 District 12 -- 8 teams Buffalo (21) 225 Centerville (21) 225 Corrigan-Camden (21) 292 Deweyville (23) 246 Groveton (21) 203 Jewett Leon (20) 228 New Waverly (21) 270 Trinity (21) 293 NOTE: Deweyville is the big loser here, being the school in the current 23-2A that would have stayed down. And, they're only located on the SE Texas-Louisiana border, with absolutely NOBODY around them. Odds are, DHS would elect to declare up to D1 to stay with most of its current 23-2A mates. District 13 -- 8 teams Bloomington (30) 240 Boling (29) 266 Danbury (29) 243 East Bernard (26) 256 EM Tidehaven (29) 262 Schulenburg (26) 236 Wallis Brazos Consolidated (26) 280 Weimar (26) 207 District 14 -- 5 teams Dilley (31) 233 Harper (27) 208 Johnson City LBJ (27) 201 Poth (28) 246 SA Brooks Charter (27) 224 NOTE: Poth is the closest to the SE of San Antonio, so it gets pulled to avoid a four-team district. Tried to move Harper and Johnson City, could have moved Brooks, Poth and Dilley to 15. But, for Harper, there are NO options. It has to go south. Johnson City could have been a distant member to the Jarrell district, but there aren't direct roads there. At least going south, there are some good roads.. Dilley is the only school SW of San Antonio in this division. District 15 -- 6 teams Karnes City (28) 279 Kenedy (28) 206 Nixon-Smiley (28) 285 Refugio (30) 260 Skidmore-Tynan (30) 239 Stockdale (28) 225 NOTE: Poth would have been here if not pulled to 14. It's just NW of Karnes City and Kenedy. District 16 -- 5 teams Banquete (30) 254 Freer (31) 226 Premont (32) 239 Riviera Kaufer (32) 210 Three Rivers (31) 202 NOTE: Three Rivers and Freer get screwed here, but somebody from the Corpus area has to go to the Valley (as use to be in 4A).
