That's a 40 student drop from the last realignment of 2199. At least it’s not 6A numbers i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like with North and West Mesquite remaining 5A DI, then Tyler and Lufkin. That only leaves 3 more teams needed to fill out a district. South is a different mix.

Maybe the can pair us up with College Station and Consolidated and send us with some Houston schools. With Highland Park dropping down maybe they try to insert us with the Dallas schools but only having Tyler might not be the best situation for that. Lufkin has to go south this realignment.

Never would've imagined Lufkin playin in a DFW district. Always thought we were a safe bet in Houston area. Now that Longview is likely going 6A, feel like they will want to keep Tyler and Lufkin together. There will be plenty of speculation leading up to Feb. Keep an eye on any rumblings from Matt Stepp. He nailed it last year before the official release. Thinking he has a reliable inside source.

Pack13 Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 All I know is DFW plays a lot higher level of football across the city than the houston schools do right now. Wouldn’t mind heading south. I do like the College Station schools being in the district idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two years have been hard for Lufkin. But being that district kept Lufkin coaches feet to the fire. It forced Lufkin to be prepared every week. We will prob end up in some Houston district, along side several sub 500 schools, who are no older than my wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackAttack Posted November 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Here is what is out there on enrollment numbers both North and South and SW. Although the Garland schools, Garland Lakeview-Centennial 2142, Garland Naaman Forrest 2089 and South Garland 1982 all have 5A DI numbers but are opting up to play 6A as they have in previous realignments. So they will be in a 6A district with Garland and North Garland. They can not be considered in this equation, As we have heard over 90% of the enrollment numbers are in to UIL. We also need to know how the cut off levels will fluctuate on the Top 245-250 of the 6A ranks ( you have teams like the Garland schools and Duncanville or Desoto that would opt up to 6A, neither of those schools have turned in their enrollment) and if any compensations will be made at the 4A level. There are still teams like Longview 2280, that could slide either way. Make your own conclusions, it's still very early. North: Tyler 2101 North Mesquite 2099 West Mesquite 2083 Red Oak 2176 Waxahachie (6A 2022-2023) have not turned in numbers. Texas High 1833 (again including these five just in case 4A adjust, UIL has not stated they are doing anything right now) Crandall 1824 Seagoville 1830 Corsicana 1790 Ennis ?? Hasn't reported (1704 in 2022) South: (As you can see here there are plenty of teams available here to field a district without Lufkin.) Barbers Hill 2092 Crosby 2097 New Caney Porter 2144 Humble Kingwood Park 1929 (2023 estimated) Beaumont Westbrook 2232 Port Arthur Memorial 2118 Baytown Sterling 2130 LaPorte 2249 Angleton 2177 Southwest: College Station 2209 A&M Consolidated 2176 Huntsville 1858 (list them as a reference only if UIL shifts 4A cutoffs) More options for these guys towards Georgetown/Pflugerville/Kyle area. The odd thing is 4 of the six teams we play in our 16-5A baseball/basketball/softball/volleyball/soccer District have enrollments were considered to be 5A DII in football last realignment. Nacogdoches 1752, Dayton 1644, NC Porter 2144, Humble Kingwood Park 1874, Huntsville 1858 ( Note: None of the Humble ISD schools are listed as reported on DCTF site) https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2023/10/25/2023-uil-snapshot-day-enrollment-figures?ref=article_preview_img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
