TXHSGBB Realignment Landing Page
With realignment being released last month, girls basketball was still in-season.
Now, we take a look in-depth at realignment, starting in Class 6A with the winners of who had a favorable draw and which metro areas won out in the hardwood side of realignment.
Winners
District 2-6A
With no politics involved in this realignment, all sides of the coin in the district are back in the little Southwest Conference. With Tascosa moving down, there were talks that this could be a move that potentially would have happened and it came to fruition.
Richardson ISD
The Richardson school district has not seen much to cheer about in their recent history on the hardwood on the girls side, with the exception of Richardson High.
In 2018-2020, that will change, being place with Irving ISD and could have at the most, three teams that will see post-season play. Irving MacArthur will still be a threat, despite losing two talented players in Sarah Andrews and Hannah Gusters, who are Baylor bound.
Houston Area
Houston have seen state tournament teams, but it has been a while, since Cypress Woods in 2015 winning the state title.
Now, the northern portion of the Houston metro has the southern half of Region II and is guaranteed two spots in the regional tournament, hoping for potentially two teams on the big stage.
Losers
District 13-6A
Scheduling could be an issue in December for teams in the only six-team district in 6A.
Playing down classifications could be an option as well as occupying a weekend with tournaments, with the maximum being allotted for teams is three.
Waco High
Both Hewitt-Midway and Waco High were brought up to the southern portion of the Metroplex in the district of doom that includes newly-crowed state champions Duncanville, De Soto, Cedar Hill and tradition-rich Waxahachie. Mansfield are also on the rise which will make the district portion of the schedule tough.
San Antonio
Both Brandeis and Clark split from the Northside ISD district, in which it was rumored to happen.
There were rumors of having four districts for the Alamo City, but have three and having to face the Austin area teams like Westlake, Vista Ridge and Lake Travis early in the first week of the playoffs.
