As usual, UIL doesn't disappoint in delivering surprises
Schools playing in a district that sandwiches another district. Road trips, one way, of close to 300 miles. Districts of 10 teams, or even four teams. Monday's UIL realignment news was as unpredictable as it was surprising to some. The good money was not on the rebirth of The LIttle Southwest Conference, but, whomp, here is it. The most intriguing idea was splitting classes 1A and 2A to match apples to apples. This creates wild travel scenarios but the hope was to pit similar-size schools against each other. Wish that could happen in 3A but the state's least populated classification doesn't allow for it under the current format.
But cheers for 1A District 9, which puts five struggling teams in one district. One will be a champion next fall and all should be in the playoff mix.
We'll see who appeals and how that process carries out. The UIL again gives us something to talk about well into next fall.
