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. Aledo barely misses the cutoff lol. Heard DeSoto was going to opt up for travel reasons. Aledo was saved by opt ups in 2020, and this time will be saved by Houston Westbury gaining and losing 20 students from early October to Snapshot Day to November.

Been churning my mind over what classification - districts will be for 24-25 football. The UIL will surprise us all. Waiting for the cut off numbers then can start thinking about what districts might be. Come on UIL - next week ?

As soon as we go 6A or split schools then our run will come to an end.

Aledo could possibly be like Highland Park was for several years in that they would always come in just below those numbers for moving up in classification. I’ve already mentioned a few other times that Aledo will adjust if and when they do move up to 6A. Would most of programs be more competitive, sure, but they would compete fine. It will be the upper echelon teams in 6A that will be the challenge. But as Aledo’s population and enrollment grows so will the numbers in talent. Even if they split Aledo ISD will stay competitive. Anybody in the southwest Ft. Worth area that has the ability to move in the district will because of the schools and programs they offer. Everything is top notch and competitive. And there are no inner city school issues that even some suburban districts are beginning to experience because of their growth patterns. There is a right way to grow and a wrong way to and a lot of that has come from civic leaders who have allowed the growth just for the sake of the all mighty tax dollar. The more roof tops and businesses the more revenue. But it doesn’t always equate to better schools and programs.

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. Dam y'all gonna do Vic East like that lol..... Ouch.....

I think the UIL likes to string folks along and then pull a fast one on folks like us and Padilla. It hardly ever fails.

Vic East, CC Carroll, CC Vets and The Bluff seems like a good starting point. Throw in a few South SA teams and that would be pretty cool.

Heck 5-8 from 13 could win district in 14 lol... heck any of those 8 would probably be top 4 in 14, 15, or 16. I know the top 4 would be. FB actually has an improved district at least I feel like, even though it's still a Valley district. At least Vela and ccVets are better than EE and Palm View...

If DeSoto does move to 5AD1 and elects to not move up, well, I will buy a ringside ticket at three times the exchange value when they meet Aledo in the 2024 state semis.

9/9 @ South Oak Cliff W 54-14
9/15 vs Skyline* W 42-17

It's not gonna be close for anyone. In fact I feel for anyone who plays those guys the next 3 or 4 years anyway. They have some serious talent in their pipeline for the next 3 or 4 years at least.
