KAUFMAN COUNTY, Texas — The University Interscholastic League released its district realignments for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years on Monday morning and, most notably, Terrell will drop from 5A to 4A and Highland Park will make a return back to 5A from 6A.

The reclassification for Terrell to District 8-4A will pit the Tigers against long-time rival the Kaufman Lions. The pair faced each other last year in non-district with Kaufman defeating Terrell for the first time since 1959, 28-12.

Also in District 8-4A, alongside Terrell and Kaufman, are Crandall, Mabank, Athens, Brownsboro, and Van.

Forney and North Forney will be competing in District 15-5A. Former competitor Rockwall-Heath moved up to 6A and was replaced by former area-foe and perennial powerhouse Highland Park who is making the drop back down to 5A after a short stint in 6A.

South Garland also made the move to 6A which made room for Lucas Lovejoy to join District 15-5A which is rounded off by Mesquite Poteet, Royse City, West Mesquite, and Wylie East.

Seagoville will compete in District 12-5A with Dallas-competitors Adams, Adamson, Molina, Sunset, Wilson, and North Dallas.

Kemp and Scurry-Rosser are aligned in District 6-3A against Sunnyvale, Dallas Life Oak Cliff, Dallas Madison, Grandview, Maypearl, and Palmer.

The UIL reclassifies every two years. Teams will begin contracting their schedules in mid-February.
