I’ll have insider baseball notes the first of next week too.

Been awhile for sure, but it sounds like he had a strong backing.

Love it!

They also announced their new HC yesterday. Quinn Ewers was in attendance for it. The Dragons promoted DC Lee Munn!

UIL realignment doesn’t create winners and losers, but it does create different paths. Some programs benefit from geography, enrollment trends or competitive balance, while others now face steeper climbs due to travel or district depth. After re-alignment was released 24 hours ago, I had a chance to dig deeper into each district. Here are some teams that came out on top, while others didn't fare so well. Advantage: Aledo After dominating 5A for as long as I can remember, the Bearcats move up to 6A. They were very worried about having to go out way out west for district play, but instead land in a district that went a combined 26-45, with their furthest district game being in Arlington. Tough Break: North Crowley / Crowley These two teams basically dropped the worst teams from their district, kept the best (such as Lake Ridge who went 9-3 last season) and then added teams like Duncanville and Waxahachie. The new district of doom is born. Advantage: Dripping Springs This past season Dripping Springs was in the same district as both Westlake and Lake Travis, which is never fun. Now their toughest opponent is Austin Bowie, who went 6-5 last season. Tough Break: New Braunfels Sure you lose state champ Smithson Valley from district play, but you gain the likes of Alamo Heights (12-2), Boerne (13-2) and Liberty Hill (9-3). Advantage: Port Neches Grove Geographically it’s a win for PNG and they should rule the district as well. Only two teams won more than five games last season, with both going 6-4 (Baytown Lee and Santa Fe). Tough Break: Burleson Centennial The Spartans finished third in district last season, but now they keep Midlothian (who beat them 35-6) and add the likes of DeSoto, Lancaster, Cedar Hill and a couple of Mansfield teams. Ouch. Advantage: DeSoto They officially make the move down to 5A from 6A, leaving behind Duncanville and Waxahachie. While competition will still be fierce in the playoffs, history shows they’re up to the challenge. Tough Break: Early The Longhorns move up From Class 3A DII to DI. Last season their district opponents went a combined 20-32, with only two teams finishing above .500. Their new five-team district features two top 10 teams in Llano and Wall, plus Ingram Moore who finished 7-6. Advantage: Comanche The Indians said goodbye to Class 3A DI and found themselves in a Region with no king of the hill, as Gunter has moved up. The eight-team district features three schools with winning records, but state champion Hamilton (who moved up from 2A) loses a lot. Tough Break: Fort Bend Dulles / Friendswood After going 0-10 last season in 6A, the FBD moves down. Unfortunately for them they move down to a district that has Angleton, Iowa Colony and Richmond Randle. As for Friendswood (Gerry Hamilton’s alma mater), they are used to playing Angleton, but the competition got even tougher adding the schools mentioned above.

Comanche made off like a champ in Class 3A. Very pleased with where we landed. It’s crazy basketball is separate from volleyball this year. Baseball/softball won’t be announced until the spring as well.

It's the UIL..... ALWAYS expect the unexpected. What you can also expect: some head scratchers.

Covington challenged Paddy for 4th of July.

Hooker got JACKED up

Salkilld ended quick. I picked Teixeira to win. That was two big ol boys going at it. Hooker prolly gonna be best fight of night

Great way to cap off a loaded sports day. Baseball Alumni Game, Texas MBB and then this.

Overall not the best card, but not terrible either. I’d say average for numbered event.

You picked a heck of a time to start watching. Last night was phenomenal.

Today’s update (Comanche, TX):

Also, this is the most action we’ve ever had in a UFC thread. May be time to just start a running one with all our new members.

It’s going to be so tough to top that. we get another UFC number next week that’s incredible Also, Sean Strickland fighting in Houston next month!

Both are some of the toughest SOBs on the planet. I think you could tell Paddy was stunned by how hard Justin hits. Love both of those dudes but JG is one of my all times faves. Freaking phenomenal fight.

THAT. WAS. EPIC.

Sean looked incredible third round.

I think O’Malley took first round, lost second round we will see what happens in the final one.

Lewis just too slow. Hate to see it end with him slipping but he was fighting an uphill battle anyway, imo.

Last three gonna be off the hook.

Didn’t think Silva was gonna win. Ngl, that fight sucked.

Johnson now 4-4 when a favorite. Perez whipped his ass from the start.
