Last Friday began the biannual UIL game of guess whose district you will be in the next two years under the realignment process. On that day each school under the UIL umbrella had to turn in their school enrollment as of that day. After receiving those numbers, the UIL will arrange all the schools, from top to bottom, according to those numbers. From that standpoint, the UIL will determine how many schools they want to have in the 6A classification. They start with the number one enrollment school and count down to that number and draw a line under that school's number. That is the cutoff number to 6A. They use the same procedure all the way down to the smallest school. In a couple of months the UIL will announce what classification each school will fall under. Then the speculation really begins. In February, the teams in each district will be announced and the scramble for a non-district schedule begins.

The Lady Tigers volleyball team finished the regular season strong to prepare them for the playoffs. They shut out Seguin and Kerrville Tivy to up their season record to 32-15 and district mark at 14-2. They opened the playoffs with Cedar Park last Tuesday.

It was District 26-5A all over again as the Region IV Cross Country meet was held in Corpus Christi. It goes to show how strong the district is statewide. When the dust had cleared from the girls division the results were identical to district results and may well look the same at the state meet to be held at the Old Settlers Course in Round Rock on November 5. Two-time state champion, Boerne Champion (52) was first followed by the Lady Tigers (71) and New Braunfels Canyon (131). Sharyland 132 and Georgetown (164) rounded out the top five teams.
