Matt Stepp is predicting that Lindale could possibly be returning to 5A Div II in the next realignment.
It could be interesting to see how things shake out.
There's a possibility they could just add the Eagles to the existing 7 team district to make it 8:
Texas High
Marshall
Mount Pleasant
Hallsville
Pine Tree
Whitehouse
Nacogdoches
Lindale
This may be the easiest possibility. The loss of Jacksonville and Sulphur Springs to 4A Div I makes alignment a little tougher for ETX.
But history shows UIL could possibly split East Texas into 2 5A Div II districts.
Ennis and Corsicana have been tossed into a district with FW area schools. They could rejoin some ETX schools
WEST DISTRICT
Lindale
Whitehouse
Corsicana
Ennis
Terrell
Crandall
EAST DISTRICT
Texas High
Mount Pleasant
Marshall
Hallsville
Pine Tree
Nacogdoches
There's a chance that Texarkana and MP could be sent down the I-30 corridor and join.....
Rumors that Sulphur Springs could move back up are floating around too....which really throws a monkey wrench into things.
Since 2002 Marshall, Pine Tree, and Hallsville have always been grouped together. Sometimes going North.....(Texarkana, MP, SS, Greenville) and sometimes going south (Nac, Lufkin, WH, Tyler).
Going to be interesting.
