Whoever did those mock alignments butchered Austin area districts lol Myself and Hounhound dont always agree but you are barking up the wrong tree on this one. I trust rtxc1 more than I do the UIL when it comes to realignments. He puts the time and effort into this type of stuff. Its his specialty.

25-6A Vandy Vista Ridge Round Rock McNeil Cedar Ridge Stony Point Westwood Hutto Leander misses cutoff 26-6A Westlake Lake Travis Drip Austin Akins Bowie Del Valle Manor Hays Johnson could/should move down to to 27 Now sHoW mE yOUrs UIL could raise the 6A cutoff to 2275, 2280, or 2285, but I believe it to be unnecessary. At 2270, Leander is 6A. I projected that UIL will make a 9-team district in north Austin in Mock 1.A, but think it would be better to send Hutto down south to create two 8-team districts (as seen in most others). Dripping Springs and Johnson would join the SA-area for that scenario. I agree that 8 team districts make the most sense. Leander staying up or down doesn't make a difference in football, they have been bad since Gideon left in 2011. Drip has a nice natural rivalry with the Austin schools it would be sad to see them go to south, but also give another team a playoff opportunity 26 since LT, WL, and Drip are locks every year. Johnson should have been south last alignment and it cost them the playoffs. UIL is a inconsistent. They could do 3 - 6 Austin area districts just because... wild card. Didn't mean to come of as a d!ck, you spend a lot of time on your realignment mock. It was just geographically weird that you had manor and Drip south but not Buda Johnson. Also Hutto should be north Austin district 25, they were last time, even if it makes a 9-team district which would stink.

Here is the map:www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit?mid=1pLr8j7IAC2cUiCaxc98odUEshSRUeac&usp=sharingRegion 1:Districts 1 and 2 are a necessity with the EP-area having only 3 schools. Wichita Falls Legacy could go to DFW, but I'd prefer to keep 6 schools out west. Districts 3 and 4 should only be affected by DeSoto's decision. If DeSoto opts up, I believe Burleson ISD would replace them in D7. Brewer and (likely) Azle would move down to D3. Region 2:Districts 5 and 6 are pretty self-explanatory. The Colony could spin over to D4 if UIL desired, but it would be a silly move. With Longview likely moving up to 6A, I kept Lufkin out of District 7. Dallas ISD is unlikely to be placed here, so the district looks funky. I mentioned Burleson ISD replacing DeSoto, if needed. Birdville ISD could be the replacement instead, but that causes more issues on the west side. District 8 is currently a west Houston district and Killeen is in D4. But looking at the map, it is clear that the College Station/Killeen/Austin district makes more sense as the new D8. Region 3:
District 9 includes Lufkin because all of the trips are under 3 hours, unlike what DFW would bring. I made this the 7-team district to limit travel for all. Districts 10 and 11 are currently flip flopped, but look at the map and you should see why I made the change. Galena Park probably wants to be with HISD, but needed to be moved to make room for Spring Woods and Kempner. Also, Goose Creek Memorial should be 6A, so I am assuming Lee will continue to opt up to 5A D1. We'll see. I don't have much to say for District 12 - I think it speaks for itself. Region 4:Distirct 13 is where the real conundrum begins. Victoria East could go join HISD/Kempner/Spring Woods for a 9-team district, but I chose north SA instead. No good options here, but I thought this was the best one for the whole picture. District 14 is pretty self-explanatory. I assume Southside will opt up again? Who knows, but it wouldn't change too much if they didn't. Districts 15 and 16 are what they are. The Coastal Bend schools could form a 6-team district with Laredo (or 7-teamer with Vic East), but it would cause several other 9-team districts to be formed and not reduce much travel for the schools involved. I may do another mock to show what that would look like.

Whoever did those mock alignments butchered Austin area districts lol Where's yours. Let's see you do the whole state and have it come out better. rtxc1 does these every two years and is usually pretty accurate. I personally think he does a great job when looking at the entire state and not just your little austin area.

I know we go way back, but still do appreciate both of your support.

Where's yours. Let's see you do the whole state and have it come out better. rtxc1 does these every two years and is usually pretty accurate.

I know we go way back, but still do appreciate both of your support. I certainly Appreciate all the time and effort you put into these and tracking of all the new schools. It's fun to see all the possibilities and I have a better understanding how moving one or two teams can affect the entire region and, in some cases, other regions/classifications. I don't just look at the local area or areas that I follow. It's a big picture deal now. I know it's time consuming and how you pull it off every two years is amazing. Thank You. It Makes the off season Shorter. I'm sure I am not the only one that feels this way.

What is your cutoff for 6a? I have it at 2270. The lowest it can go is 2265, if Austin HS is under that number. That would make Brownsville Rivera, Aledo, and Edinburg Vela 6A, and would have a full 250 schools plus opt ups (3 Garland schools, Desoto?, 2-3 EP-area schools?, Pasadena?). There's plenty of room for all those. The highest it could realistically go is 2285. But that puts a strain on 5A and would likely reduce the number of total 5A/6A schools, negatively affecting 4A.

Region 1: Districts 1 and 2 explain themselves. It is expected that Ysleta ISD and Horizon will not opt up to D1. Bel Air could be D2, depending on unknown opt ups and if UIL wants to go up and grab it. District 3 looks worse than it is. I'm not leaving a 4-team district unless I have to. If UIL goes up and grabs Bel Air, Lubbock-Cooper is the next school up. Lubbock HS and Palo Duro are within 4 more spots. But this is what I have for now. GCISD would love this district, as Abilene and Wichita Falls aren't that far. 1 long trip to Plainview wouldn't be bad for them. District 4 is self-explanatory. Region 2: I was torn on whether to put the Killeen district here or not, but it makes more sense to have East Texas in Region 2 when you look at the map. District 5 is largely the same as what we have now, while Crandall and Kaufman fit in nicely in District 6. If the divisional cutoff goes up, Dallas Samuell could drop to D2 - whether UIL chooses a 10-team district or to move Crandall/Kaufman out is the question. Districts 7 and 8 go together nicely, though Sulphur Springs could slide to D8 if that spot is needed for another school. Region 3: I don't know how UIL would number these districts, so I stuck with what works (I would have done DFW/Killeen, then Austin, then Houston, but there's no precedent for that). Districts 9 and 10 are packed at 9 schools each. Brenham, Bryan Rudder, and Victoria West are outliers, so I fit this together the best I could. VW to south Houston is ideal if the Coastal Bend isn't available. Districts 11 and 12 fit together nicely. Region 4: Districts 13 and 14 are about as good as one can get. I moved AH out of the SAISD district, which South San, Uvalde, Somerset, and Boerne join the fold. There are 11 RGV schools, so they had to be split up. Brownsville ISD joins the Coastal Bend in D15, while the remaining schools are D16. I believe Padilla is projecting a cutoff of 1340, which would remove Valley View and Moody, cleaning up these districts. The problem there is the total number of 5A/6A schools is reduced to 495 (it's currently 503). I'm not ready to make that move.

Aledo barely misses the cutoff lol. Heard DeSoto was going to opt up for travel reasons.
