Texas HS State Championships question Duncanville & Desoto?

So? Look at Louisiana! You have schools in the same districts playing in ðifferent divisions. It happens.

Does LSU utilize these logos in any way when recruiting Texas?

I think it’s a great idea.

I saw Caden Durham with lsu gloves on. It’d be so cool to see the Texas tigers logo on recruits gloves or dare say it…..socks.

I have lower left logo on a shirt and love it. See my avatar.

It's all about enrollment. There's such a large gap in all of the conferences between the smallest and largest schools, that the superintendents of the state voted for the splits in the playoffs. Only conference 6A keeps the same districts in all sports while the rest split before the season in football only.

In 6A the range is from 2225 (Garland Naaman Forest) to 7102 (Allen). There are 86 schools larger than 3000 students. So they take the 4 playoff teams from each district and the 2 largest go to Division 1 and the others to Division 2.

Funny as a few times a school in the state finals in D2 is larger than schools in D1.

The reason why 6A superintendents won't split before the season like 1A-5A is travel. In the last realignment, there were only 15 6A schools West of the I-35 corridor (9 in El Paso, 1 Lubbock, 1 San Angelo, 4 Midland/Odessa). For next year that number drops to 13 (2 El Paso schools drop to 5A and face awful travel in football 5A D1). Out of the 13 left, only 1 El Paso has over 3000 students and Frenship ISD is building a 2nd HS, so Frenship HS will drop to 5A in 2 years. So the football travel $$$ will be astronomical in those areas with the possibility of the 1 El Paso school being in the same district with Fort Worth schools.

It works better in the smaller conferences, but there are some travel issues in west Texas, but most of them are used to it. The splits in the rest of the sports don't work because of travel on Tuesdays, but when I was in Snyder, our softball district included Fort Stockton on a Tuesday and that was a long bus ride for a game we won 15-0 in 3 innings!

I know this is long, but I hope this helps.

Thank you 18handicap for answering, I was going to answer till I saw your response. You are correct.

Four teams from each district makes play off
The two largest enrollments go Div 1 (big school)
The two smallest enrollmets go Div 2 (small school)

they do this for 3A thru 6A I believe

No school in LA would be Div 1 in 6A football btw

I remember seeing those 2A and 3A districts with Anthony and Tornillo! When I was at Snyder, Presidio was assigned to our softball district one year... thank goodness they didn't field a team that year!
