Realignment

[IndianFan]

Mentioning Cy-Fair ISD, our population is 730,000+, student population is 116,000+ in 91 schools in an attendance area of 186 square miles. The third largest school district in Texas and the largest recognized district. The top two, Houston and Dallas ISD, are an academic hot mess compared to Cypress Fairbanks. With 12 6A high schools and a $1 Billion+ budget, I would not be surprised if CFISD can wield some influence with the UIL decisions.

Hopefully this isn't too buried but is it true that Jamey Harrison is the UIL Deputy director and is it true that he lives in Liberty Hill where his son Jett Harrison is on the team?

There IS a Jett Harrison (Soph) on LH football roster.

Yes, it is true.

Given that the PN-G Nation completely overwhelms Liberty Hill game presence in every way, they would probably prefer to never play against Port Neches-Groves. Their fan support, band and now their football team pales in comparison.

Nah... not a political decision at all...

To me, if they’re gonna allow schools to elect to play up or down a division in order to minimize travel, then they should also allow AT LEAST some sort of input from the schools on preferred district and/or region placement, especially for those like us and Nederland who get hit with extensive travel for District games AND playoffs.

Can't request to move down in classification, only up--which in most cases in senseless.

Thanks for the clarification…I had heard in past realignments some schools who were supposed to move up a division were allowed to stay down for travel reasons but might have been false info. However, if the UIL doesn’t allow schools to submit requests for preferred district and/or region placement in order to minimize travel…I agree electing to play up a division is pretty pointless.
