I think they'll be fine.  After all, they were playing the 4th ranked 5A team and they're just now getting the football players back.  I think they'll still win the district.  They won't go undefeated and there won't be many blowouts.  It will certainly be more dramatic but the end result will be the same. And that's some 5A district.  No. 4, No. 6, No. 7 and No. 17.  Murderers row.  

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  Silsbee should hang a banner in the gym and put a trophy in the case that reads  2022 4A Provisional State Champions and another that reads 2024 4A Provisional State Champions.  And Washington should do the same for 2023.   The aberration has ended.  Now.  What about the other charter schools and to a lesser degree the magnet schools.  The answer is simple and the way FF was delt with is the answer.  Move them to 5A Div 1.  Meaning they go 5A Div 1 irrespective of their enrollment.  If they have a problem with it they need to increase their enrollment accordingly.  Now don't get me wrong, I think the charter school and magnet school concepts are good and serve a purpose.  For instance, the Yates Maritime Academy magnet program, in partnership with the Port of Houston is great thing.
