2018 Region Outlooks — 4A Division II Region IV: Does Sinton take over the region as new faces take over other top programs?

Today’s spotlight: Class 4A Division II Region IV

There is absolutely no question which district reigns supreme in Region IV in Class 4A Division II and that’s 13-4A Division II. The district features last year’s regional champion Wimberley and runner-up in Cuero along with the 2016 regional champion Geronimo Navarro. District 14-4A Division II is a familiar pairing of teams to the south and west of San Antonio. Hondo may be the big winner here. The Owls, who struggled to make the playoffs in the old 13-4A Division II, had their way with two-time district champion Pearsall in the bi-district playoffs in back-to-back years, despite being 1-9 and 2-8. In 2017, Pearsall was 10-0 and lost to 2-8 Hondo in the first round. We’ll see if a new coach at Pearsall can turn the Mavericks fortunes around in the playoffs. 15-4A Division II is a Coastal Bend based district highlighted by Sinton and 4A Division I Rockport-Fulton, whose enrollment took a hit after Hurricane Harvey ravaged the town and schools. 16-4A Division II is a Rio Grande Valley district and is the only four-team district in the state outside of the three four-team loops in 4A Division I Region I.
