KVUE's Jeff Jones broke down what has changed for the districts in our area:
6A notes
- Manor moves up to 6A (takes Hutto’s place in 25-6A)
- 26-6A is now a 9-team district, instead of 8-team
- Anderson returns to 6A (will play several of the same district opponents they had before dropping to 5A in 2020)
- Buda Johnson and Dripping Springs move up to 6A (replace Buda Hays and San Marcos in 26-6A)
- Hutto and Pflugerville Weiss move into 12-6A (Hutto from 25-6A and Weiss from 5A-D1-11) and will compete with Waco-area teams
- 12-6A loses Belton, Killeen, Killeen Ellison, and Killeen Shoemaker
- Dripping Springs had gone 39-3 in district, previous six seasons
- San Marcos moves to district 27-6A (will face San Antonio-area competition)
- 27-6A is a 6-team district, San Marcos should have 5 non-district games, and could play Austin schools in those
5A–DI notes
- 5A-D1 District 11 added Georgetown Eastview, Leander Glenn, College Station, and College Station A&M Consolidated (lost Anderson, Manor, Pflugerville, Pflugerville Weiss)
- Lost top two teams from 2021, added three playoff teams, including a College Station team that lost in overtime in the 5A state championship game
- 5A-D1 District 12 adds Buda Hays and loses Dripping Springs and Buda Johnson (No. 1 and No. 2 in the district last season)
5A–D2 notes
- 5A-D2 District 11 is brand new, none of the seven teams were in this district in 2021, and many weren’t in districts with each other
- Only two 5A-D2 District 11 teams finished with winning records in 2021 (Rouse and Belton)
- Two other teams (Elgin and Waco University) went winless, and a third program (Killeen Chaparral) has yet to play a varsity season
- 5A-D2 District 12 is all Austin ISD 5A teams
- Most played in 5A-D2 District 14 in 2021 — this year the district adds LBJ, LASA, and Eastside and loses Liberty Hill and Marble Falls
- 5A-D2 District 13 has three (of seven) teams earned 3+ wins last season —Bastrop, Liberty Hill, San Antonio Veteran’s Memorial
- Another brand new district, not a lot of familiarity outside of Bastrop and Cedar Creek
4A–D1 notes
- 4A-D1 District 13 lost LBJ and Fredericksburg and replaced them with Marble Falls and Comal Davenport
- Comal Davenport won six games in 2021, its first full varsity season
- Fredericksburg moves to 4A-D1 District 14, where the Billies will face San Antonio competition
4A–D2 notes
- 4A-D2 District 12 is the same group from 4A-D2 District 13 in 2021 except Caldwell is in and Navasota is out
- 4A-D2 District 13 is the same group from 4A-D2 District 14 in 2021, except Jarrell and Lago Vista are in, and Austin Eastside and San Antonio Young Men’s Leadership are out
3A–D1 notes
- 3A-D1 District 11 lost Caldwell (2-8 in 2021, and winless in district) and replaced them with Franklin (16-0 state champs in 2021)
- 3A-D1 District 13 adds a few from last season’s 3A-D2 District 14 (Marion, San Antonio Cole, Universal City Randolph)
- None of those three teams won over seven games in 2021
3A–D2 notes
