Which Districts Are Included And Why?
To understand my definition of “Greater Houston Area” I started with all schools located in Harris County and the adjacent counties (Montgomery, Liberty, Chambers, Galveston, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Walker and Montgomery).
I then included teams from UIL districts containing one or more of those teams. That translates to the following districts being included in my rankings.
10-4AD1, 11-4AD1, 12-4AD1, 9-4AD2, 10-4AD2
