Wildcatter Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Would all sports be in these new districts or just football?
KFDM COOP Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Posted February 3, 2009 Some School's will have more travel but alot of School's it will remain the same.
katdaddy Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 It looks great for 5A, LaPorte and Ball should always be on the schedule, those were some great games way back against TJ. Same kind of teams, people, cities. Oh, and Central would be getting a major screw job.

Not up on the competition level of all these teams but, if Deweyville has a better chance at the playoffs I bet they won't mind traveling.
EagleAG03 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Where did Dayton and Livingston go?????? ??? In Division II District 11 Crosby (68 Miles) Dayton (55 Miles) Houston Forest Brook/Smiley (68 Miles) Livingston Barbers Hill (69 Miles) Waller (105 Miles) What's crazy is that it would be closer to all of those schools than what we currently have now. All those trips would be right at an hour and we travel closer to an hour and a half for everything now.
skipper Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 this is NOT GOING TO WORK at (WO-S).one of the school board members is going to be big time very upset and is calling the UIL and telling them that thay are on a tight budget sooooooooooooooooooo redo it then send it to them to ok it.
Sportsman5 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Anyone who thinks this is a good thing needs to have their sanity checked. Some of the travel time for some schools like Central, Orangefield, Deweyville, WB and PAM and Hamshire-Fannett is down right dumb. Travel time alone is going to be the biggest issue, you will have hardly have any fans at away games, especially for sports like baseball and basketball which play on Tuesday nights. Football will be hit hard also, I mean what parent who works shift work or gets off at 6 is going to travel 2 hours for a 7:30 game, they won't get to the game until half-time, maybe a little earlier. Wednesday mornings after a long road trip is bound to breed low attendance for kids. Which will hurt the kids grades and performance in class which may cause failures to go up. Having these types of road trips on a weekly basis may also affect Test scores down the road, I mean you are almost guaranteed one day a week where it will be almost impossible for a kid to pay attention in class due to exhaustion. Teachers already have a hard enough job and high enough expectations on them as it is. Also looking at this from a coaches point of view the UIL is not taking into consideration a coach working a 12-15 day and the coach also being a zombie the next day like the kids. All coaches teach as well. Especially for coaches who are at schools where they have to drive a bus, that would be a big time safety hazard, which is to no fault of the coach they are just doing their job. Next, you have the parents. How do you expect their to be any kind of following from the parents to come see their kids play 2 hours away and then get up the next day to go to work. Talk about robbing parents of the joy of watching their kids games. Then how about the regular fan who has no kids but enjoys games or families who have kids in school but they don't play sports, well you can forget them going to support their teams which will have kids showing up to a stadium with virtually no support.
Guest whs90 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 SO, are they still taking 3 teams from each district?

Deweyville probably has a better shot at playoffs in our current district as it is! That's what so maddening about it. Nothing gained, but a whole lot of trouble!

Razor Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Why does Central get moved and Ozen does not? THis makes very little sense to me, but them again it is the UIL, so I guess it's really not supposed to.
KFDM COOP Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Posted February 3, 2009 Numbers!!!!!!!!!!!! Central would be big School.
Lazeek Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Football playoffs are out the window again for my Hawks!!!! 3A Division 1 District 11 Bridge City Jasper Liberty Silsbee Sour Lake Hardin-Jefferson West Orange-Stark Jeez I hope that we can beat Liberty and BC or it will be a 0-6 District record.

I could be wrong, but I think this is just for football only. Other sports like volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball will have different districts than football. These other sports would remain in districts like the current setup. If this is just for football only, then I don't have a problem with it. Bring it on!!
rmac Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Look at the travel time Midland and San Angelo would have. 4 hours one way, That is really putting a lot of extra expense on the school and the fans. Most West Texas schools play at 8 p.m. but you would still have to leave before 4 to get to the game on time.
jackhammer Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 THIS LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A FUN EXCITING FOOTBALL DISTRICT! 2A Division 1 District 11 Anahuac Buna Hardin Kirbyville Kountze Newton Winnie East Chambers
Guest JoesBros Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Numbers!!!!!!!!!!!! Central would be big School. Who cares about numbers? It should be based on the area you are in!
Guest whs90 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 SO, does the plan still call for 3 per district?
KFDM COOP Posted February 3, 2009 Author Report Posted February 3, 2009 Numbers!!!!!!!!!!!! Central would be big School. Who cares about numbers? It should be based on the area you are in! Alot of Schools care about Numbers and Depth!
jackhammer Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 Numbers!!!!!!!!!!!! Central would be big School. Who cares about numbers? It should be based on the area you are in! Alot of Schools care about Numbers and Depth! Coop, how many teams make the playoffs from each district????
