DISTRICT 24-AAAA IS RETOOLED BY UIL

The University Interscholastic League ("UIL") announced its biannual realignment for football and basketball on February 1. When the dust settled, the Bay City Blackcats found themselves remaining in a retooled, and significantly toughened district 24-AAAA. Gone are the long-time rival Wharton Tigers, who will go from an out-manned AAAA team to a AAA power in district 23-AAA (where they join a dominant Sealy team), while the Calhoun Sandcrabs, winless in 1999, move to the South Texas district 29-AAAA. Replacing Wharton and Calhoun are the Angleton Wildcats, formerly of 24-AAAAA. The Wildcats were no pushovers in a 5A district that included Galveston Ball and the Clear Lake schools, and should be legitimate playoff contenders in the new 24-AAAA. Here, then are the Blackcats' district competitors in 2000-2002:

Jones was a leading rusher for Bay City in the team's 1998 run to the Class 4A-Division I state finals. Good luck in Huntsville, Robert!
