The University Inter-Scholastic League (UIL),..that august body that oversees all extra-curricular activities in the state of Texas,.. has shaken up its current make-up of school schedules for the school years of 2016 and 2017. Sherman and Denison are both members of District 5 in the 5A level of competition. This is the way the new district will look for the next couple of years.
District 5 AAAAA
1. Denison
2. Denton
3. Denton Braswell
4. Denton Ryan
5. Sherman
6. Wichita Falls
7. Wichita Falls Rider
This realignment covers all sports and not just football on Friday nights. It is over 100 miles from Denison to Wichita Falls, and that means student-athletes will be traveling on school nights to basketball, volleyball, and baseball games. I foresee them getting home somewhere between 1 and 2 in the morning on a school day.
Now coaches are scrambling to find non-district games to fill out the ten game schedule around those new district members.
