The UIL released the district alignments for the 2020-2022 school years Feb. 3, determining matchups for the next two seasons, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Here’s what it means for football in our neighborhood:

  • The Jesuit Rangers are now in District 7-6A and will play against teams from Irving ISD and Richardson ISD instead of Allen. The lineup features Jesuit, Irving, Irving MacArthur, Irving Nimitz, Lake Highlands, Richardson, Richardson Berkner and Richardson Pearce. (Pearce and Lake Highlands made the football playoffs in 2019; Jesuit made the 6A Region II football final for the first time in program history.)
  • W.T. White High School fell to the District 6-Class 5A Division I level and will now play Lancaster, Carrollton R.L. Turner, Carrollton Newman Smith, Bryan Adams, Molina, Samuell, Sunset and Woodrow Wilson.
  • Hillcrest High School is in the new District 6-5A with Mesquite Poteet, Adamson, Conrad, Thomas Jefferson, Kimball, Seagoville, South Oak Cliff and Spruce.
