dfwhorn Posted June 5 Posted June 5 Realignment is coming up in a couple months, what do you guys think will be the big changes for jumps/drops and also any region/area alignments? Quote
ruben_f Posted June 5 Posted June 5 I think the biggest question is whether we’re getting a 7A during the 2026–27 realignment. It has been in the talks since the 2019. Some of the 6A areas such as area I, might no longer exist because many of those school have an enrollment of 3,000+. Quote

I think they will wait for another round of realignment and then they will do one ruben_f 1 Quote

Celina, Panther Creek, Davenport, Sulphur Springs, and West Plains were all either VERY close in 2024 or have been growing pretty rapidly. Quote
dfwhorn Posted June 5 Author Posted June 5 Here are some quick predictions of mine for now, I will change them either once I get more in depth or when we get next year's enrollment numbers. Drops 6A to 5A: Longview, Dallas Jesuit, Rowlett, Berkner, Rock Hill, Westview, Lancaster 5A to 4A: Frisco Memorial, Denison, Dallas Adamson, Kaufman, CC King, CC Moody, H Austin, H Sterling Jumps 4A to 5A: Sulphur Springs, Celina, Panther Creek, Community, Lake Dallas, Decatur, Davenport, West Plains 5A to 6A: McKinney North, Leander, Aledo, Sherman, Reedy, Lake Belton, Denton Ryan I probably won't do 3A down until a later time since I'm not as familiar with it as 4A-6A. I think we'll have 7A in 2030 or 2028 but not 2026 for now. Tubalord11 and ruben_f 2 Quote

I think we'll have 7A in 2030 or 2028 but not 2026 for now. Expand Some thoughts if this happens: It’ll definitely be interesting to see how Rockhill and Berkner would do in 5A. If North moves to 6A, then it’s gonna open a potential state spot for either new people or RH. Berkner would also do fairly well, would imagine they’d be in 5A area C and would probably easily be making state. Area B though will be getting heavier with Celina and Panther Creek. I’d also be interesting to see if Frisco finally has a 6A school of Reedy jumps up. I think memorial would also do great in 4A if they drop. I’m hoping Leander stays 5A bc then it’ll be back to LT or Westlake not making state. Aledo in 6A would be….interesting. I’m guessing they’d be in area B, would probably miss state for a little bit cold def make it after a little. Though they were around the level of SLC at Bedford, so maybe they’d be at state very soon. Will be exciting to see if these major changes happen CosmicLimbo 1 Quote

It could be interesting to watch that. And Memorial could also be a state level program in the 4A level of SMBC with the results they have rn at 5A B. Reedy jumping up could be interesting too, it'll make you wonder how they'll do in J (BOA prosper this year could be a sneak peek of that with a lot of J going to that contest). Also if reedy and Sherman make state happens, it could be interesting to see how it shakes up athletic districts; itll probably be a whole shuffle and it makes me wonder if itll affect also the UIL Areas and Regions for 6A Quote

Maybe Aubrey or Celina or Pilot Point? Just sort of some food for thought but who knows what'll happen Tubalord11 1 Quote

Along with that, since Berkner was a 6A Area C finalist last year that would leave a gap for another band to sneak into 6A finals. Quote

Expand Maybe Royse City could do well, that whole area is growing pretty quickly in the Fate and RC area. Could take that as an advantage to sneak into finals. If not, maybe Mesquite or Tyler Legacy, kind of hard to tell at the moment. Quote

McKinney North and Reedy could help get them back above 15 bands, but that still would only be three bands advancing to state in that scenario. That prevents even Prosper from making state. It'll be interesting for sure to see what TMEA/UIL does if multiple schools in the same area drop below the 6A cutoff. Quote

LostChoirGuy Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Do we know of any new schools opening? I bet there will be some new 4a and 5a schools that could throw some interesting twists in the mix. What about that school in Northwest ISD? Quote

Expand I think that new Northwest School is opening probably 2027 or 2028 from what I know. I believe both Denton is opening a school in Cross Roads and Royse City is opening on in Fate around that time. Asides from that I know that Prosper's Richland HS is opening this year. I believe they also have a 5th school planned but it probably won't affect realignment until 2030 I'm assuming. Quote

Expand Waxahachie ISD a few months back announced a second high school — Waxahachie Creek — to be opening in 2027. Could also make things interesting on how they will split the student body. Quote
