The UIL announced the new district assignments on February 1st. While there were several questions Texas high school football fans had about some of the redistricting, such as why DeSoto stayed in 6A, or why some teams were placed into districts in which they’d have to travel two to three hours for several of their games, there were just seven teams to officially appeal their district assignment (there were an additional 5 schools that are appealing their basketball or volleyball district assignments).
The appeals will be heard on Tuesday, February 20th.
Here are the schools appealing:

Lufkin was placed in 7-5A D1 and wants to be in 9-5A D1
