Beaumont use to have 5 public HS’s and now they’re down to two. Economically it makes sense but it causes havoc with equalizing alignment. I anticipate larger discrepancies in the lower (all?) Divisions. I think Beaumont had six 4A (now 6A) high schools. Their entire six team district was within the city limits.

If I’m interpreting the article correctly, in order to make a 6A split solve the problem adding a 7A class would then the 6A class as a whole would have to have about 330 schools in. It would pretty much be impossible to align 165 schools into 16 districts. However, if you pull the largest 80 schools out of the current 6A to make 7A, keep 250 in 5A and 6A, then you will get a trickle down effect that will close the enrollment gaps in the smaller classes which I think is the UIL’s ultimate goal.

Who? Maybe I am missing it but viewing that projection linked above it looks fantastic. The only school I see with any difficulty at all would be San Angelo mixed in with Midland and Odessa, but they are already there now. Otherwise there are several DFW districts, several in Houston, one CenTex and one Brownsville district. Its astoundingly good. Quote

I think the folks in Beaumont back then were good with taking L’s as long as their kids didn’t have to go to school with the ones Willie Ray and Clifton J. were coaching. Quote

You can’t resist saying stupid stuff like Lake Travis lost to 4th place Round Rock, can you? At least the stuff I say can be backed up with actual data, in this case a court order. But to answer you question, yes. I find it very damning that some of the best athletes in the entire country at the time weren’t allowed to display their talents in the UIL. Quote

I believe all but one or two at the time had played for Smith or Ozen. I’m pretty sure Smith coached 22 pros by himself in total. Hebert’s 1976 UIL title is what I believe ultimately led to Westbrook’s 1982 title, but Beaumont unquestionably had the talent to win several more. D3zii, Mr. Buddy Garrity and BMTSoulja1 3 Quote

I’m probably the only racist you know that spends three hours a night watching Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell and Brian Williams consecutively while voting for moderate democrats like Hilary and Biden.

I can buy most of your post but alleging that a Hebert title in 76 had something to do with West Brooks SC in 82 is a stretch. After watching Coach Durley’s South Park Team, where he was OC, I think he deserves a lot of the credit, along with the FP & Hebert players. STiger85 1 Quote

Matthew328 Posted September 23, 2021 Report Posted September 23, 2021 Just now, AggiesAreWe said: Not if you move the numbers for each. 6A and 5A are basically full at 250 schools....there's not many places to put those schools w/o skewing the ratio in 4A even more than it already is...7A is the answer because you add 125 or so schools to 7A then you work your way back up from the lower levels to realign the ratios better....will there be some small districts in 4A?? Absolutely but I think thats better than having a 4A that goes from 550-1400 kids... Quote

Matthew328 Posted September 23, 2021 Report Posted September 23, 2021 These are the new schools that are probably going to be 4A and below: South San Antonio West Campus Canyon West Plains Abilene TLC Cedar Hill Newman Academy Dallas Inspired Vision And then these schools will be back playing UIL football in 4A-below Cross Roads West Hardin Austin Eastside Quote

I “think” back then they had 8 man, B and then 1A-4A as six classifications. The 4A was the largest. At some point they move the B to 1A so that all 11 man football was at least an A. Then again they bumped everybody one and it became 1A-6A. I kind of want to think there was an eight man and a six man football back then. It is since been dropped to just six man. But that was almost 50 years ago and it’s stretching my memory. Quote
