The new alignments, established by enrollment figures submitted to the UIL by its member schools in October, will serve as football and basketball districts for the next two school years. The University Interscholastic League will host a question and answer session for interested media outlets regarding the release of the reclassification and realignment Thursday, February 2 at 9:15 a.m. at the UIL building in Austin. All media present will be given complete reclassification and realignment packets. Media outlets interested in scheduling an interview with Dr. Charles Breithaupt for Thursday should contact UIL Media Director Kim Rogers to set up a time.

The special episode of the High School Spotlight will re-air at 1p.m. Thursday and 12:30 p.m. on Friday, February 3.

Twas the Morning of Realignment Twas the Morning of Realignment 'Twas the morning or realignment, when all through the State All the coaches were scrambling to find out their fate; Their non district foes in their pocket with care, In hopes their new district would not find them there; The coaches all nervous at their Educational Service Center, Were waiting for the dude with the packets to enter; Some in their visors, and I in my cap, Were nervously drawing up a new way to trap, When all around the room there arose such a clatter, I looked up from my notebook to see what was the matter. Away to the packets I flew like a flash, Tore open the booklet and looked through my stash. The light from the ceiling emmited it’s fluorescent glow And gave the lustre of mid-day to the districts below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But the name of my school in a district not near, With a belch from my taco, so putrid and thick, I knew in a moment I was going to be sick. More rapid than eagles the coaches they came, Looking for non districts and they called me by name; I need a zero! I need a third! the voices were humming Come play me week four! You’ll be my homecoming! I’ll check my schedule and give you a call! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, I looked at my district and started to cry, Because I knew that some nights we’d have some long trips, And three of the teams had won championships. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on my cell, The ring tone was signaling a realignment hell. â€I can’t play you week two, I have a prior commit,†I told him succinctly, “that ain’t worth a [Censored]!â€. I looked at the numbers that separated class, To see what the UIL had brought to pass; I peeked at the 4A and suddenly knew, The top number, of course, was Highland Park plus TWO! I searched through the crowd for someone I knew, I had to find a game to fill up week two, His eyes – they were bloodshot! his dimples how scary! His cheeks were like sandpaper, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was filled with a chaw, And the front of his shirt was the worse thing I saw; The juice from the chew was staining his teeth, And the stain on his shirt was round like a wreath; He had a broad face and a big old round belly, That shook, when he cussed like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled my last game; that I had lost to that jerk, And wiping some spittle from off of his chin, He left me standing there with a grin; I sprang to my car, and headed back home, And tried to call the school but my cell was on roam. And I heard myself say as I drove out of sight, “Happy Realignment to all, let’s have a good fight!â€

NYC Girl Scores 113 Points To Break HS Record!!!! Epiphanny Prince, a 5-foot-9 senior, shattered the all-time national high school girls basketball scoring record Wednesday with an incredible 113 points as Manhattan's Murry Bergtraum routed Louis Brandeis 137-32. The previous record of 105 points was set by Cheryl Miller of Riverside Poly in 1982. Lisa Leslie also topped the century mark with 101 for Inglewood Morningside in 1990. Both schools are in Southern California. Coach Ed Grezinsky noted, "We didn't start off like that to set a record], but she had 58 at halftime. At that point, I said, 'Just let her go.'" Prince, who has signed with Rutgers, drilled 54 of her 60 shots from the field -- many on fast-break layups -- and three of four free throws. She scored 38 points in the first quarter, 20 in the second, 25 in the third and 30 in the fourth. "It's just amazing to me," Prince told SI.com. "My best game had been 55 points in eighth grade. Even when they gave me the ball [constantly in the second half], they [brandeis defenders] didn't converge on me. They reacted very slow, so I just kept on going to the basket." So how was she planning to celebrate? "I'm about to go to Rutgers to see them play St. John's," she replied. The steak dinner can wait. Link

Ministers Urge P.A. Parents To Keep Children Home From School (Pastor Randy Vaughn, pictured here with microphone, says he's talked with nearly 20 ministers regarding the requested PAISD student body walk out. Pastor Vaughn says about a dozen support the request.) A group of Port Arthur ministers is calling for students to boycott school beginning Friday. The ministers are upset about a number of problems they say are facing the district, including the expected buy out of Superintendent Willis Mackey's contract. During a special meeting Thursday night, the board is scheduled to vote on a voluntary exit agreement with Mackey, and it's scheduled to vote on hiring a temporary superintendent. Sally MacDonald reports tonight, the ministers are demonstrating their unhappiness, and they want students to do the same thing. Pastor Randy Vaughn says, "We're not trying to grandstand." This group of Port Arthur ministers stood inside the sanctuary of Mt. Sinai Missionary Baptist Church and urged parents not to send their children to school on Friday. Reverend Donald Frank says, "The TEA (Texas Education Agency) and a school district get their money by the number of children who are in seats, so that's the only way to affect change." The ministers say change is needed on the Port Arthur School Board. They're upset about the expected buy out of Superintendent Willis Mackey's contract. Pastor Vaughn says, "It's unfortunate at this juncture of his (Mackey) career he is leaving us. And the best words we can find for that in our own vernacular is firing. A spokesman for the Texas Education Agency says the board of trustees and Mackey made a mutual decision for Mackey to leave the district, and he says they've agreed on the buy out. Now the ministers are asking Port Arthur parents to join them in their effort to keep students from going to school until the TEA sends a management team to run the district. Pastor Vaughn says, "Certainly we recognize this walk out launches what we consider to be a revolution, and you don't control revolutions." Students we talked with say they haven't followed the disagreement between the board and the ministers, but they believe the call for a walk out is extreme. Edward Lloyd, a 9th grade student, says, "I think we should stay up in school because even though they have problems we should be able to stay and learn." Only one school board member, Gregory Flores, attended the meeting. Gregory Flores says, "I represent the community and that's how I work. I work and listen to them, and then I act on what they have to say." Gregory Flores didn't want to comment on the suggested walk out. Pastor Vaughn says, "This board has not come through to respect the wishes of this community." The ministers will have to wait until Friday to see whether parents and students support their request to help put a stop to what they call a runaway school board. A spokesman for the Texas Education Agency says the pastors' request for the TEA to take over the district is not going to happen. Ron Rowell says the Port Arthur district doesn't meet requirements for the TEA to remove the school board and replace it with a board of managers. He told us a district must be low performing for at least two years in a row to qualify for a state takeover. Rowell says the agency plans to schedule a meeting with the pastors soon. The pastors say they will open their churches to the children who will need adult supervision during the school day. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
