GHA Overview Week 1

Welcome to another year of looking at the Texas high school football districts in the Houston area. For the purpose of this preview each week I will be looking at districts that contain one or more teams located in Harris and the surrounding counties (Galveston, Chambers, Liberty, Montgomery, Waller, Fort Bend and Brazoria). Wallis Brazos high school is located in Austin County but services students in Fort Bend County so I have included them as well.

So that translates in the following football districts:

13-6A (THE WOODLANDS, COLLEGE PARK, CONROE, GRAND OAKS, WILLIS, NEW CANEY, OAK RIDGE, CLEVELAND, CANEY CREEK)

14-6A (SPRING, WESTFIELD, DEKANEY, ALDINE, EISENHOWER, NIMITZ, DAVIS, MACARTHUR)

15-6A (KLEIN, COLLINS, CAIN, OAK, FOREST, TOMBALL, TOMBALL MEMORIAL, WALLER)

16-6A (BRIDGELAND, LANGHAM CREEK, CY RANCH, CY WOODS, CY FALLS, CY PARK, CY SPRINGS, CY LAKES)

12-2AD2 (HULL-DAISETTA, Lovelady, Deweyville, Evadale, Colmesneil, Sabine Pass)

15-1AD1 (HIGH ISLAND, Burkeville, Leverett’s Chapel, Chester)

Adding the next ring of counties (Jefferson, Hardin, Matagorda, Walker, Grimes, Polk, San Jacinto, Washington, Austin and Wharton) would add another 7 districts and 47 teams to the mix. I might try that someday, but not today.
