Thing is in the old district Lufkin had two trips of 200+ miles one way, another one that's 194 miles and then the Highland Park trip is 176 one way and that's going through downtown Dallas... Galveston Ball got a bad deal no doubt about it....going to Lufkin is gonna suck...I dont think it'll bother Lufkin much since they travel all the time anyway Seems like the UIL really dropped the ball with this realignment. Did they just roll with the first computer generated model and not review it?

1) Thats only just your opinion. The south district all voted NO. 2) I did not say "Aledo" did I? Re-read it. I said "the north TX schools". That aside, Aledo would potentially play Lufkin early in the playoffs had they stayed. Doesnt matter to me what the district voted. The votes were self interest votes (understandably). Sending Lufkin south was the best overall choice. Following your suggestion, I did re-read your post. And yes, you clearly said Aledo and North TX schools. Maybe you should take another look. Also, can you do a mock playoff bracket showing how Aledo could have played Lufkin "early in the playoffs had they stayed"? Maybe those BH playoff brackets are different than the UIL's lol. When I said "Aledo" I was referring to you specifically, not the school itself. Thats pretty common on all these forums. I am sure you have been called "Aledo" before since its short for your username. Please stop with the everybody is happy narrative. Thats entirely wrong. No one has a problem with Lufkin itself. I, like everybody else in our district, does not like getting dumped on by the UIL committe. I fail to see how Lufkin to Galveston Island is a great improvement over anything. Go ahead and celebrate. The Lufkin - DFW area problem was dumped elsewhere.

The Lufkin - DFW area problem was dumped elsewhere. I've never once insinuated everybody is happy. That fact is clear by all the whining you are doing. I've said sending Lufkin South is the best choice overall. Which it is.

I've said sending Lufkin South is the best choice overall. Which it is. Yeah, me and WHOLE DISTRICT. But OK, yes I get it. If I dare have a differing opinion from the almighty "Aledo" here I am whining. Profuse apologies to you! I now fully understand you have to be catered to without exception. The mere suggestion of anything short of full agreement with your pontifications is an absolute abhorrence. In the future I will tiptoe around you, if I am not already banned for life for having non-Aledo approved opinion!

If you stop being so emotional and try being objective, you'd realize that Lufkin going South is better overall than them going West. But you've shown that you struggle with understanding that concept.
