That’s awesome. when I first started coaching 30+ years ago now it was not unusual for what would be today’s 4a to run an a,b,c team in jh 7/8 and 3 teams in hs. How many around here run those numbers

In regards to the hill and 6a it all depends on the numbers. King, NS, Atascocita, and SC will all be at or above 4000 students. How the uil goes about working on this issue means everything to small to midsized 6a schools. Sure there are outliers (desoto for one) just not many. 7a or a divided 6a would be interesting. Numbers do matter

Lots of money to be made off of privatized sports.

Are HS sports in decline due to AAU, travel team sports, etc. know it’s a football board primarily just interested in opinions. Article from last spring showed football participation down 14% in last decade.

The whole issue revolves around a few things other coaches actively recruiting/poaching kids from other programs parents shopping kids trainers/ aau/ 7 on 7 coaches shopping kids Sure everyone wants to win and it’s a lot easier to go to currently successful programs than stick it out in a place that is struggling to win. As Lombardi said. Winning isn’t everything but wanting to is. Sometimes much more is gained by sticking it out and being part of a team that goes from 0-10 to 8-4.

When talking transfer/recruiting snafus don’t leave out San Marcos a few years back. In all honesty most coaches don’t actively look to bring kids in(grow your own and develop them) and some well they will poach anybody’s top end kids to win. Then there are the AAU/trainers/parents who will shop their kids around looking for whatever.

KW high fits that bill

Easy fix go back to the pre 1981 uil rule on transferring. 1 calendar year from enrollment. we want to think of moving for athletic purposes is something new. Ope go back and see what schools/communities out in west Texas were doing. completely understand why guys get frustrated about other schools poaching talent until the uil completely hammers down on it. It will continue to happen history may not repeat but it does rhyme

Shore got worked. 35-10. soundly beat with a couple of questionable decisions that didn’t help the cause

Why go for it in that situation? checkers or wreckers at the beginning of the 3rd?

The mega school is real 23-6a could have 4 over 4k enrollment. Numbers matter.

Shore unless something screwball happens. Untimely turnovers, penalties, overall bad luck, etc would be the only way NS drops this one

Is 6a r3 d2 very good? Seems that year in year out you have more talent in the d1 route.

That’s why 23-6a is deepest district in the state.

Atascocita was much different personnel wise on defense from the beginning of the season. Definitely made a difference as the year went on. That being said I’m not a fan of their defensive scheme. The pseudo Iowa State front has holes and with injuries those holes become caverns.
