2022 3A Div 1 Region 1 ~ Mock Realignment

Today UIL released the cutoffs for the 2022 Reclassification and Realignment. The numbers are in as follows:

Division breaks for Football

5A-D1 1925-2224

5A-D2 1300-1924

4A-D1 880-1299

4A-D2 545-879

3A-D1 360-544

3A-D2 250-359

2A-D1 164.5-249

2A-D2 105-165.4

1A-D1 59.5-104.9

1A-D2 59.4 and below

This next year we will see some shifting that impacts 3A Division 1 and our district as Littlefield will be moving down to 3A Div 2 and we will see 2 other High Plains teams make the move down to 3A Div 1 from 4A in Vernon and Iowa Park. District 3 will have 3 departures with Early, San Angelo TLC and Wall all dropping down to 3A Div 2.

Below you will find the projection for what Region 1 very well could look like come February when UIL makes their official realignment announcement. Putting an emphasis on travel and trying to limit the furthest distance between 2 schools in the same district we came up with what logically feels pretty accurate. Though if our 2 years in 4A a few cycles ago taught us anything, UIL doesn't always use the same logic. Just ask Denver City and Perryton who each traveled 308 miles each way to play each other in district!
