The landscape in Region I has been shaken to the core as with Fort Worth ISD opting up their schools to Division I another brutally tough DFW district has been added to the mix, making this region one to watch in a very fascinating statewide 5A-Division II race.
Out in El Paso, the Division II district has expanded to nine teams and the race for the playoffs should be fascinating as the Sun City has three teams who are their sights set on a district title. Del Valle, who is dropping from Division I has the potential to make some big noise with nine starters back on both sides of the ball and one of the state’s top young signal callers. Canutillo, an area finalist a year ago returns fifteen starters, while Chapin brings thirteen starters back. There should be a good battle for the four seed as Andress gets the early nod over what looks to be an improved Hanks squad.
