@@@ This fall, for the first time ever, the UIL released the enrollment cutoffs for each of the various classifications ahead of time. Schools didn鈥檛 have to wait anymore to know if they鈥檇 be in 3A or 2A or so forth.
That鈥檚 taken a bit of the drama out of the process, but not much. Now instead of debating enrollment numbers, the coaches鈥?speculation is centering on who will join them in their new (or possibly old) districts. It鈥檚 kind of like knowing the first act of the play, but not the second or third. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a really big guessing game,鈥?Waco High coach Marty Herbst said. 鈥淵ou really don鈥檛 know until Monday morning.

Another first is that Class 6A is on its way, though it鈥檚 really more of a name change than the addition of a new classification. For football, six-man will become the new 1A, while 1A becomes 2A and so on. For Midway, the Waco area鈥檚 largest school with an enrollment of 2,229, not much figures to change. Midway will be in Class 6A (the old 5A), and should remain linked with the likes of Belton, Copperas Cove and the Killeen ISD schools in district competition.

If geography holds true, the assumption is that the Wildcats would join Waco High and University in a district that could possibly include schools like Red Oak, Corsicana and Ennis. 鈥淭hat immediate unknown is the scary part of the whole process,鈥?Herbst said. 鈥淲e have a tentative nondistrict schedule, but we may be forced to scramble to try to pick up some games if something happens we didn鈥檛 anticipate. . . .
