Just breathe out Gerry. Relax and let the doctors do their job. You've got this. -
UIL realignment doesn’t create winners and losers, but it does create different paths. Some programs benefit from geography, enrollment trends or competitive balance, while others now face steeper climbs due to travel, district depth or a lack of district strength. After re-alignment was released 24 hours ago, I had a chance to dig deeper into each district. Here are some teams that came out on top, while others didn't fare so well. Advantage: Aledo After dominating 5A for as long as I can remember, the Bearcats move up to 6A. They were very worried about having to go out way out west for district play, but instead land in a district that went a combined 26-45, with their furthest district game being in Arlington. Tough Break: North Crowley / Crowley These two teams basically dropped the worst teams from their district, kept the best (such as Lake Ridge who went 9-3 last season) and then added teams like Duncanville and Waxahachie. The new district of doom is born. Advantage: Dripping Springs This past season Dripping Springs was in the same district as both Westlake and Lake Travis, which is never fun. Now their toughest opponent is Austin Bowie, who went 6-5 last season. Tough Break: New Braunfels Sure you lose state champ Smithson Valley from district play, but you gain the likes of Alamo Heights (12-2), Boerne (13-2) and Liberty Hill (9-3). Advantage: Port Neches Grove Geographically it’s a win for PNG and they should rule the district as well. Only two teams won more than five games last season, with both going 6-4 (Baytown Lee and Santa Fe). Tough Break: Burleson Centennial The Spartans finished third in district last season, but now they keep Midlothian (who beat them 35-6) and add the likes of DeSoto, Lancaster, Cedar Hill and a couple of Mansfield teams. Ouch. Advantage: DeSoto They officially make the move down to 5A from 6A, leaving behind Duncanville and Waxahachie. While competition will still be fierce in the playoffs, history shows they’re up to the challenge. Tough Break: Early The Longhorns move up From Class 3A DII to DI. Last season their district opponents went a combined 20-32, with only two teams finishing above .500. Their new five-team district features two top 10 teams in Llano and Wall, plus Ingram Moore who finished 7-6. Advantage: Comanche The Indians said goodbye to Class 3A DII and found themselves in a Region with no king of the hill, as Gunter has moved up. The eight-team district features three schools with winning records, but state champion Hamilton (who moved up from 2A) loses a lot. Tough Break: Fort Bend Dulles / Friendswood After going 0-10 last season in 6A, the FBD moves down. Unfortunately for them they move down to a district that has Angleton, Iowa Colony and Richmond Randle. As for Friendswood (Gerry Hamilton’s alma mater), they are used to playing Angleton, but the competition got even tougher adding the schools mentioned above.

When the UIL went to 2 divisions in all classifications, the districts became much more spread out. Lots of districts with a lot of long road trips. I’m old and still like the non-division, A through 6A set up with 2 teams in the playoffs. Four teams from each district is ridiculous with losing teams in and first round blowouts the norm. -

Wow. Waco Midway bumping up to 6A. in the same district with temple, Belton, the Killeen schools and Bryan. Back in my day (late 80's) that would be one hell of a tough district. -

Crump will not be on the bench in 26. She can ball and is a pure scorer! -

There's been so many TV shows to date. Top 50 for me. Michael J Fox is a Top 15 sitcom lead though for me. -

The scoring options next year are going to be incredible in the starting lineup and off the bench. Can you imagine: Starting 5 Booker Lee Carlton Preston Bjorn Bench Crump Crittendon Cunningham Spaight And that's not including any transfers. Everyone of these women can score efficiently and will put crazy pressure on the opponent's defense. You add Vic's defense and that's a championship looking team if I've seen one. -

Our other signee, Joyce "Isi" Etute is a strong rebounder and scorer. She reminds me of a slightly bigger Justice Carlton. I have watched all of her highlight films and am amazed at her skill set. Originally from Luxembourg, she's balling at IMG. Can't wait to see how next year's roster meshes on the court. -
