That's a good schedule for the Unicorns. Man, I wish every district was competitive like this one and a few other northern ones that are more brutal. Where good teams might be staying home at the end of the season. None of this weak sauce garbage where 1 or 2 teams are good and the rest suck. Man could you imagine the playoffs if every week was actually competitive! By the time the title game came, teams would truly be battle tested and these blowouts would stop. Yea NB’s schedule is very solid for a 5A school for this upcoming year. Although I’m worried the Unicorns will be in over their heads as their enrollment starts declining further the following year; they will be around 1,700-1,800 after their initial year of 2,050 or so. But don’t sell 15-5A short. That looks to be a very competitive district also, if maybe just a bit less deep than 13-5A. It was my biggest takeaway besides how D13 shook out. There’s enough battle testing there to not worry about being soft headed into the playoffs. That's not the district in which I was referring. In general, UIL has some that are like 3, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, and 15 in just 5A D1 for example, that are solid districts. 15 is probably the one that has the least amount of solid teams in it of those, but it still has more than 2 teams that would be worth a playoff spot and that 5th team would make the playoffs in other districts in Region 4 not named district 13. Then you have districts out there that let's be honest are weak as all get out. The 1st place team is good or great even, then the rest are hot dog turds. Houston ISD, Austin ISD, and San Antonio ISD would be examples of those type of schools. Then you have districts like Calallen and TM where Calallen is really good, TM is improving a lot and in the getting good catagory, and the other 2 or 3 teams, however they have now, are again hot dog turds, or GP with the hot dog turds of ccisd. UIL could do better in spreading out the competition, but I also blame the school districts themselves. You have to want to improve things for the kids. TM for instance for years had admin that didn't give a crap, so the kids suffered. Now they have a Supt. That cares and he has changed it from the top down. Alice got Castellano and look what they are doing out there! It takes changes at the top to fix long time suckage, but UIL can also do their part in making districts competitive or at least more competitive than some of these crap ones are.

In the case of the larger inner city ISD's the UIL's hands are kind of tied they have to group those schools together based on the current policy...one core principle of UIL realignment is they are not supposed to take competitive balance into account when setting districts...its "supposed" be geography only

It's just unfortunate that it shakes out like it does. That being said, my other point is still very much true, these ISDs need to shape up. They need to care about the kids more and give them the tools to be successful on and off the field of play. It takes the right leaders to get change going. Those inner city schools have the biggest challenges for sure. Not just the gang life, but the fact those kids have to grow up way too fast and support themselves and their siblings with jobs and all for a number of reasons. The school leaders need to do better for those kids. I worked with a coach and a teacher (2 people) that would take and "hire" those kids after school, to do odd jobs in their classrooms and around the field house and such. They made a difference in those kids' lives. 2 or 3 kids each, but those 2 or 3 kids were grateful.

I'm guessing they retained all their Jr players from last year as I would think they would have the option to stay to finish out HS there. New Braunfels should be ok for the 2024 football season. Grandfathering will be in effect for the 2024-2025 juniors and seniors. Enrollment will be around 2,050. For 2025, grandfathering will start phasing out more and enrollment will drop to 1,750. And for the next realignment, enrollment will drop to 1,300+. NB might drop to 4A in the next realignment.

With the growth in housing going on in New Braunfels I would think they might stabilize in 5A - but I guess it depends on how they draw the attendance zones between NBHS and Long Creek HS

I’m just going off of the powerpoint FAQ that was part of the NBISD 2024 bond package. But the growth is there. Any drop to 4A would just be temporary.

Weiss and New Braunfels has some great 6A battles. [/quote] Well, Bandido will be familiar with SV and Wagner from past district affiliations. SV and Wagner played in Region 3 last year, Region 4 this year. In Region 3, College Station and A&M Consolidated return there, but some of their previous district opponents (e.g. Georgetown, Leander schools, and Cedar Park) moved to District 2. There are some pretty good programs around Alvin ISD (e.g. Manvel) as well. I'm sure I'm leaving someone out! Region 4 will have San Antonio, Coastal Bend and RGV schools, so the favorites should come out of District 13 (SV, Wagner NB, Boerne Champion, Victoria East, Seguin). There are also some decent, competitive programs in the RGV, but at the top usually fall beneath the better San Antonio programs. It would be an interesting exercise to forecast the winners of Region 3 and Region 4 districts, maybe I (or someone else) will give that a shot in the run up to the season!
