UIL Athletic Realignments

Yeah I go to Cy-Fair and was wondering what was going to happen. Knocking A&M consolidated and bryan out of the district woudl be a very good thing.. i'm a senior now so it doesn't matter.. but i'm in band so it was very annoying to drive all the way up there for the game..

in a few years though there shoudl be anohter hs probably so 16-5A wil be entirely cy-fair ISD schools..

i'm not sure how exactly they are structuring how students enter cy-ridge.. as far as if they will have just 9th and 10th grade the first year or what.. i'm gonna check on that this week..

i do know that some cyfair kids will be going to cy-falls. and i believe maybe ones that woudl be going to cy-falls are going to cy-ridge..

 

I'm a senior too, so it really doesn't affect me, but 4 of the 8 schools in my district could drop down in a classification, which is nice since two of them are continual playoff contendors in football and one other is a perennial top 5 basketball team...

 

You think Westfield and Klein are gonna still be in the same district. Man that sucks for our (Westfield's) Academic UIL squad (or are academic districts different from athletic districts). Our math team ruled that district before my friend and I graduated. Then we graduated and Klein moved in and now we get stomped. Get Klein out of our district. Of course our football team was good last year so I guess we could kick your ass in that. And I presume the band is still dominating. Down with Klein.

 

why in the world are the spring branch schools paired up with the aldine schools in district 21?? they are on absolutely different sides of town!! makes tuesday night basketball games an adventure. doesn't seem smart to me....seems like spring branch schools should be paired up with alief or katy schools like they used to be.

 

Probably because the district would be too big. If you match them up with Alief schools, who do you match Katy up with? If you match them up with Katy schools, who do you match Alief up with?

When's the last time Spring Branch schools did anything anyway?

 

i know you didn't just jab at SBISD, RM95!!

i recognize there is probably some problem with there being too many teams...just seems there's got to be a better solution than pairing them up with Aldine. the distance between these schools is significant

 

Hey, I love SBISD. Since they were in our district my senior year at Katy, it helped us win the first ever district title in Katy basketball history!!

I also had my best game against Stratford.

 

NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!

what year did you graduate?? I graduated in 92...my 8th grade year we went to the state championship in football...9th grade, made it to the state semifinals...those years were amazing!!....basketball is much improved from those old days...they made it to the tourney in Austin a couple of years back...my freshman year, they were pretty good...got run in the playoffs, but Alan Bradley was our SG and first-team all-city.

today they're good at girls' volleyball...golf...swimming...tennis...in those sports they're pretty good every year. they may have the most consistent tennis program in the state.

 

Anyone know what district West Canaan is in?

 

Thank God Huntsville didn't get put back in 5A. We were getting our teeth kicked in when we dropped down a few years back, and we've been struggling in 4A since (football-wise).

 

1995.

Against Stratford that year, we were only up by 2 near the end of the first half (we should've been up by 20), and I had two straight steals and two straight layups to extend the lead to 6 at halftime, we then went on to kill them. The writeup in the Katy Times was all about how I sparked the team, blah, blah, blah. I ended up with like 15 points (I wasn't much of a scorer, or a player for that matter). Actually, my other great game that year was against Mayde Creek when I hit a near halfcourt shot at the buzzer at halftime, and there was an article in the Chronicle about how I sparked the victory.

And that, my fellow BBSers, was my 15 minutes.

 

Here's a monster 4A district for ya:

<b>District 20</b>

Beaumont Central
Beaumont Ozen
Lumberton
Nederland
Orange Little
Cypress-Mauriceville
Port Neches-Groves
Silsbee
Vidor
West Orange-Stark



Or maybe I'm just a little biased because my old HS is in this group. That's right, I'm a Little Cypress-Mauriceville Battlin' Bear!
That is every 4A school in the Southeast Texas/Golden Triangle area.


One sad note to all you HS hoops fans: Port Arthur Lincoln, breeding ground of SE Texas bball legends Brian Sollier, Kelvin McKyer, and B.J. Tyler, is no more. PAISD consolidated Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson into one school called Port Arthur Memorial. That will be one bad mother of a basketball team in 5A.

 

A high degree of participation in respective offseason programs probably helps those teams to their success.



Mango

 

If they paired the SBISD schools with Katy, then the Alief schools have a long ride to the north. With the FBSD schools making up a district themselves, there are no nearby options for making matches to the south. The Rosenberg and Richmond area schools are not in the 5-A classification, so zero options to the southwest.

The UIL tries to keep schools from the same school system together, so using some of the HISD schools with the Spring Branch district schools is not likley.

Going west on I-10, it involves going to the San Antonio metro area to find 5-A schools after leaving the Katy school district. The best options in making districts for the west side (Katy, SBISD and Alief) are mixing and matching with the other districts on the north and northwest sides.


Mango

 

I'm sure that's true, Mango. Just is a huge hassle for SBISD and Aldine schools. Oh, well...I'm sure if there were a better way, someone would have thought about it by now.

as for offseason participation in those sports I mentioned, I'm sure you're probably right.

 

Quit your whining. Look at this district:

District 22

Baytown Lee
Baytown Sterling
Beaumont
West Brook
Humble
Humble Kingwood
Port Arthur
Memorial

The drive from Beaumont/Port Arthur to Baytown is about an hour and about hour and a half to Humble.

And I don't even want to think about schools in West Texas where towns are few and far between. Complaining about having to ride the yellow dog across Houston is laughable. Yeah, you might catch some traffic on those trips, but you're not really any worse off than schools in any other part of the state.

 

deep -- you're right, that is a ridiculous lineup there!!! i have a close friend who was on the state championship team from marshall high school in marshall, texas in the early 90's...they of course travlelled great distances to play opponents. just seems that in a big city they could do better than this!
