UIL New District Realignment announced
PICTURED: SHS Coach Rocky Smart at Birdville Fine Arts Building during the announcement of the UIL District Realignment.
The UIL on Monday morning released the district alignments for the 2020-2022 school years, determining matchups for the next two seasons. Sanger High School dropped from Class 4A Division I, to Division II and is in a new five-team district and region with Aubrey, Krum, Van Alstyne and Celina. This is the football district (only )and it’s now in Region I. The district for all other sports - volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball, track, etc... is made up of Anna, Aubrey, Celina, Gainesville, Melissa, Sanger and Van Alstyne.
Sanger coach Rocky Smart was elated with the change and looks forward to the fresh competition for his team.
“It’s awesome to drop down a level and have the numbers (high school enrollement) a lot better for us this time around,” Smart said. “All of the programs are on different levels from last year, and it’s going to be an extremely competitive district, we just hope to be in the mix in November.”
The Indians varsity high school team struggled the last two seasons in their old football district with Argyle, Celina, Anna, Melissa, Paris and Paris North Lamar. All of those schools except Celina, remain in Division I (big school) districts. Sanger turned in a snapshot of 757 SHS students in October of 2019 to the UIL. The new cutoff for Class 4A DI is 880-1229. Krum had similar struggles to Sanger in 2019, and will also be looking for a playoff appearance in the new five-team district. And Sanger will renew their rivalry with them. Smart was busy on Monday confirming non-district opponents and he had to pick up another game, since SHS is in a five-team district.
The Indians will scrimmage Anna (away) and Ft. Worth Castleberry (home). Non-district opponents will be Benbrook (away), Lake Worth (home), Howe (TBA), Whitesboro (away), Venus (home), Vernon (away). District - Aubrey (home), Krum (away), Van Alstyne (home) and Celina (away).
