Where are the kids of high school age headed in the fall of 2025?

Maybe Motley County, Spur? How does the UIL rule this for transfer eligibility since it’s a closure of a school
I am hearing Spur or Guthrie

Thought it would either be MC or Spur. How far is Guthrie from Afton?

Hate to see another HS in rural West Texas shut their doors. Personally, my mother was in the Class of 1945, the last class that only had to go 11 years. She was proud to be from PSHS.
Here's the TEA school districts in that area. The red boxes are where the actual schools are. It appears that any HS students east of Afton, where PSHS is located, would be closer to Guthrie than Motley County or Spur. IMHO, I don't think too many will go to Spur unless they are in or just outside of Dickens. Most of the kids are on farms and ranches in the area, not in Afton.

How does this work for transfer/enrollment purposes? Does the elementary school district "contract" with a nearby district to educate their 7-12 students? Do the students/families have a choice in which adjoining district they wish to attend?
I would expect that the UIL would determine these transfers would not be athletically motivated, as their exisiting school had closed.

I google mapped it. Only 20 miles north up Hwy 70 from Patton Springs to Motley County.
We have transfer agreements with Guthrie and Spur. Students that live in our district can enroll at either school and be UIL eligible immediately. Our students that transferred in to us can go to the school in the district they live in or apply to transfer at another school.
Just got this game transferred. 1956 Patton Springs v Wellman...Patton Springs looks to have a good dropkicker! This was Wellman's film and has some school activity after the game on film
