Stratford, last year’s regional champion actually dropped down to Division II after UIL Realignment, so the door is open for a new regional champion in 2024, last year’s Division II regional champion Sunray makes the move to Division I adding to the intrigue in this regional race.
1-2A Division I is fascinating on paper, as Sunray who won the Division II Region I crown a year ago makes the move up with seventeen returning starters. The Bobcats will have to hold off Panhandle who brings back eighteen starters from a 10-2 squad, while Spearman drops down after making the playoffs in 3A a year ago. West Texas High gets the pick for fourth over a young Highland Park bunch.
