The University Interscholastic League's biennial realignment may have been released nearly three weeks ago, but the Texas high school football landscape is far from settled.
Seven schools have filed an appeal to change their Texas high school football districts, and will appear in front of the UIL District Assignment Appeals Committee on Tuesday. After the UIL released its biennial reclassification and realignment on February 1st, all schools were given the opportunity to appeal their district and conference assignments, and seven took them up on it.
This does not include so-called local appeals, wherein the team's current district votes to release them from the district and the team's desired district votes to accept them. For example: Odessa Compass moved from District 4-3A DII to District 3-3A DII because both District 4 and District 3's district executive committees voted to allow the move.
Here are the Texas high school football teams that are appealing their district placement to the UIL:
