Wow so any school 4A and below are going to be at way behind our local area schools... playoffs are going to be a mess.

I could be mistaken. But I think that the only 4A schools affected by this are the schools in 11-4A-I (Furr, Kashmere, North Forest, Washington, Wheatley and Yates).

 Great... these were likely early round playoff matchups for our district 10-4A-1. Correct?

Do you see districts outside of Harris County waiting on them to start or will the UIL issue another ruling to preserve some type of playoff system to include these schools?

I don't see them waiting. 

Other than losing their Week 1 game, this doesn't affect those schools all that much.  They'll just be playing 9 games instead of 10.  And the 4A schools are already jammed up by HISD's order of no extracurriculars until mid October anyway.

Remember, that order was already in place when the UIL announced its schedule earlier this week.

[Boneyard Boys]

Well I guess they would not extend their seasons but rather cut them short and lose pre-district games, so they can still finish on time with the rest of us and set the playoff matchups.

No, they would have been potential area round opponents.  11-4A-1 would play 12-4A-I (Bay City, El Campo, Brazosport, Needville, Stafford, West Columbia)

[AHUDDLESTON]

Also remember they still have to go through the preseason acclimation before they can play.

Gotcha so they just have to get a late start and miss early games, playoffs not effected.

Yeah, that's it. Except for HISD and I don't know what they are gonna do.

Exactly right coach.  And if no extracurricular participation is allowed in HISD schools until Oct. 19, that is when they would begin fall practice not games.  Even assuming an acclimation of 3 weeks, that would be the first game wouldn't be until November 13.  That is the 1st week of bi-district for 4A-1A schools.

HISD districts 6A/5A districts (18-6A - Bellaire, Chavez, Heights, Lamar, Sam Houston, Westbury, Westside; Just over half of 11-5A-II - Austin, Madison, Northside, Sharpstown, Sterling, Waltrip) would essentially play a district only schedule.

[WOSgrad]

Fortunately, West Brook and United's Week 1 games are against non-Harris County teams (they play each other) so their schedule should not be effected by today's order.

I wonder how that football parent feels now sending their kid over to Png from Memorial recently.......

............oh welp, things happen 🤷🏾‍♂️☕

It’s crazy too because I PERSONALLY know one that just did it during the summer and he was a football kid.  I think I told you about this one...

Wonderful. But in reality not surprised. So all of Harris County? Crosby is in Harris county...

Yes.  But given that the UIL already had pushed the start date for practice to Sept. 7, this order should have no effect on 12-5A-II play.  It will just cost Crosby a non-district game.

@LC-MIn answer to your question earlier this week.  No, Jordan won't be playing LC-M.

Yeah, our week-3 matchup right?

I don't think so.  The one that Crosby would lose would be their Sept. 25th game and they had already lost that as their original Week 1 opponent was Carthage and they lost that game when the UIL pushed 6A/5A back but left 4A-1A alone.

Absent any further orders by Crosby ISD delaying the start of their football season, the Crosby/Memorial game should still be on.

🙏🏾 Great, cause that's a home game, we only have 4 of them.

Any idea who they will be playing that week?

[WOSgrad]

There are a number of teams that are still looking.
