Rumor Mill

[Wildcats5421]

Because the BEST TEAMS ARE NOT PLAYING EACH OTHER. IN DISTRICT OR THE PLAYOFFS. Nowadays its cherrypicked scheduling, It's as easy as that.

I beg to differ, go look at our schedule the last 4-5 years. I still believe that the teams that play the toughest schedules are the ones making a splash in the end. I do agree a ton of teams that schedule cupcake games to get wins

I agree. That was basically my point.

Rigdon officially moved to Richland Springs. Not a rumor.

They will win state!! They were favorites before the move!!

Yep, RS wins state every year at this time. Amazing run of talent. Guessing the Jayton Jaguars are a distant second. Followed by the Trent Gorillas and the Hutto Hippos. Let the good times roll!

I think GR ends up elsewhere...

What if he wanted to play for his big brother in Somervell County?

Three Way is in Erath County. And don't you put that juju in my district. We already had him once with Strawn.

 

[Pdevitt13]

They claim both counties lol

…….. the Jayton Jaguars …….?? When did they change their mascot?

 

[Texlonghorn75]

Just checking to see if you are awake. Hutto doesn't play sixman either.

 

[ArnaudAmalric]

@Texlonghorn75 you ever on any other thread besides the rumor mill, blowing hot air. I don’t believe the Jayton Jaguars could handle the Locker Leopards in basketball

Why there are more schools playing Sixman than back in the day! As the smallest classification enrollment has grown so has Sixman teams. Looking at Windthorst’s history, 25% of the teams they have played are now Sixman schools, not to mention the handful that are no longer existant!

Because 6man football was its own classification until the UIL decided to call ot 1A. 1A is now 2A. 6man schools had to play "2A schools" until the uil decided to create 6A. So to make it easier, nowadays 1a & 2a were both considered 1a. Now 6man is considered 1A. The 11man 1A schools are now considered 2A. Forgot what year it happened but yeah, that's what happened.

Google, UIL Football State Champions, it will show the history of 6-man, 8-man, and all 11-man. It helps clear up what and when it happened.

@Old Bearkat can attest to this as well being in Illinois with me. We have something like 450 schools that are playing 11 man football and we divide that into 8 different playoff classes. Talk about watering down the field.

I will agree on this . I could see them stomping through town just to make everyone think he is going there . sounds believable. If he does play I bet he transfers out to a state contender basketball school after football season . That’s just my prediction which is prolly wrong

You can't just transfer out for basketball season and be eligible

You can tell who knows the rules and who doesn't....

All of the guessing will be over soon, and we can all start talking about football!!
