Shady12 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 23 minutes ago, Horsefly said: Did the UIL explain their reason behind this? Dishonest bunk. They pushed a false narrative of there being no good option and they'd have to go somewhere and that their new software said that district was best (even in a DFW district they're having to pass by schools in another DFW 6A district to get to HEB). That's obviously false because they already naturally fit where they've always been with Midland, Odessa, and Abilene schools. They used an example of "Going to Amarillo and Frenship is worse than what we have them doing now" while conveniently leaving out that there are four nearby schools in Midland and Odessa. 2-6A for San Angelo: 4 short trips, 2 long trips 3-6A for San Angelo: 1 short trip, 5 long trips They should have made 2-6A an eight team district with Abilene and San Angelo in the district. San Angelo and both Midland and Odessa schools said they wanted San Angelo in 2-6A. This will be the first time in 80 years that Odessa schools are in a district that doesn't include San Angelo or Abilene schools. The reason they were put into 3-6A is because of Tascosa complaining about San Angelo being in their district. The Tascosa Twitter account even trolled the Bobcats after they got their wish. Tascosa wields a lot of power for some reason. Moving San Angelo out doesn't even help Tascosa in any way. Tascosa replaced their district game with San Angelo with a non-district game with BROWNSVILLE HANNA, a school that is 800 miles away from Amarillo. The only way for Tascosa to fix their travel problem is to shift 100 students to become 5A. Here's what San Angelo Central Head Coach Brent Davis had to say: "Besides the fact that most of our trips are going to be three-and-a-half hours, I'm OK with it," Davis said. "All they're trying to do is appease Tascosa. That's all they're trying to do is appease Tascosa, which I don't understand why, but that's what it is." "In my experiences here in San Angelo for nine years, either us or Lake View is taking the brunt of everything for everybody else," the Central football coach said. "They stuck Lake View out there one time with Waco and Stephenville. "It seems like we're the stepchild. Our school district seems to be the stepchild. That's just all there is to it I guess." "I guess the congressman from Tascosa, the state legislator, is threatening (the UIL) and always making a big deal out of Tascosa," said the all-time winningest football coach in Central program history who has led the Bobcats to five straight district titles. "The sad part about this whole thing is Tascosa controls their own enrollment. "They have open enrollment and they can fix their own problem and make (all their schools) 5A, but they refuse to do that, so it affects us, which is ridiculous. When we met with the UIL earlier in December, Tascosa was the only one in the room crying and making it vocal about how bad their travel is. Well, our travel is just as bad as Tascosa's. It's exactly the same. It is what it is. They got what they wanted and I guess we'll go from there." "We need to go play good teams, and Euless is good and those other schools are going to be good," Davis said. "It's going to be new and different. But it's just the fact that we're going to be putting our kids on the road for four-and-a-half hours, except (for) Abilene High. "Weatherford's a little over three (hours) and those other ones are around four. I guess our kids aren't as important as Tascosa's. That's all I can figure out. I think the district's going to be exciting, but the travel's going to be brutal." "I think that's the one thing I'm more disappointed in than anything is just being part of the 'Little Southwest Conference' and being five-time district champs that we won't get to do any more in that district anyway," Davis said. "We can do it in another one. But, what are you going to do?" http://www.gosanangelo.com/story/sports/high-school/2018/02/01/san-angelo-central-uil-realignment-2018/1085006001/ What really makes it bad is in other sports. About twice a week on weeknights for the entire school year other sports are going to be traveling nine hours round-trip to the middle of the Metroplex missing an entire day of school, getting back around 3AM to get up and go to school the next day. If in 2-6A the only bad travel would be to Amarillo, with football being only every other year and the other sports being able work the schedule to get SA-Tascosa games on weekends only. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lynch have a core group from Last year that game will be closer than you think? Agree they are the underdog. Aledo should be able to battle Bentonville.

Westfield defensive tackle Keondre Coburnwill not visit Oregon and will take an unofficial visit to Texas, the school he's been committed to since last August. This is the second prospect this week that has chosen not to visit Oregon in favor of Texas. Earlier in the week, Yoakum (Tex.) wide receiver Joshua Moore cancelled his Oregon visit. Moore will decide on Sunday between the Longhorns and the Ducks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
