Aaron Arbuckle: Which current HS coach would you vote for President?

Shehan Jeyarajah: Josh Gibson from Pleasant Grove. But I’m a swing voter so I can be persuaded otherwise. 

Matt Stepp: Longview HC John King and VP would be David Gilpin from Mission Vets

_____

Jacob Jon: What's your favorite piece of Presidential trivia?

Shehan: Either that James Madison was a cool 5-foot-4 and 100 pounds, or that Ronald Reagan consulted an astrologer who drew up horoscopes before every major decision in the White House. 

_____

@_CrispyyCam: I know it's way to early but who's your favorite in 6a going into next year ?

Greg Powers: I assume you mean Division I? It is hard to pick against North Shore. Duncanville and Southlake Carroll will be good again in the DFW. 

Stepp: Gotta go with North Shore in D1; flip a coin in D2

_____

Ty White: Which district on any classification would you say is most likely to compete for a state championship next year.

Stepp: District 21-6A

_____

Henry Balderamas: Should the state baseball ?? championship be allowed to go best of three games? Current format does not allow pitchers a chance to pitch in semifinals and final.

Stepp: I'd like to see it....I think you'd have to extend the playoffs one week to get it done though.....

_____

Nathan Story: Should the UIL implement a running clock for 11 man football when a team is up by a certain amount after half. Similar to 6 man football mercy rule?

Powers: I would not mind this, especially in games that are major blowouts, but these types of games also give teams the opportunities to look at younger players. 

Stepp: Yes, I think 45 points at anytime in the 2nd half...running clock...if it gets under 45 points you can go back to normal clock rules...

_____

Henry Balderamas: Should UIL classifications be the same for all sports? Example: basketball ?? 3AD1 and 3AD2

Stepp: No, too much travel in the sports that involve two games per week

_____

Terry Patterson: should class A ( six man ) schools that choose to play up in 11 man football, then be allowed to drop back down to the lower classification in the other sports in some cases competing against Class A D2 schools in district

Stepp: They already do...Iraan for example is in 2A in football and 1A for other sports. 

_____

Dee L Qualls: Matt please explain how Aledo stays Division 2 for the last 19 years, did Trump build a wall around it so no growth to the school systems there? Seems weird no growth allowed. Thanks Dee

Powers: Not Matt, but I am guessing this is a city decision on how big they want Aledo to be. The desired size of the school has a part in that decision like it does in most other cities. Same in Celina, etc.  

Stepp: Plenty of growth in Aledo (look at their enrollment from 2018 to 2020), they would have been Division I if there weren't all the opt ups from Division II to Division I. I expect Aledo to be Division I in 2022 realignment

_____

@MikePar61546669: What will drive UIL to add 7A at the next realignment? 

Stepp: More schools being built in high growth areas

_____

@MikePar61546669: you know if you are going to give us districts, the die hards that listen to you are going to wonder about regions...so what's the chances of getting those rankings? Otherwise quantitatively, which region is the toughest to make it through to Jerry's world per class?

Stepp: Stay tuned

_____

TexasFootball.com Question: The best 1-2 punch in #TXHSFB is…

Stepp: If healthy its North Shore QB Dematrius Davis and WR Shadrach Banks

_____

Brent Homan: What team in 4A, 5A and 6A do you see having a bounce back season?

Stepp: This is a really good question, gonna need time to get through all the questionnaires to really have a good read on this one

_____

Chad Patton: Will Muleshoes new coach get them back in the playoffs?

Stepp: Just gotta beat either Littlefield or River Road to get in and I think its a flip of the coin at the moment.
