Abilene, Big Country schools announce enrollments for next UIL realignment process
The University Interscholastic League will announce its biennial realignment in early February, but the first step in the process involves Snapshot Day, which is Friday, Oct. 27.
All member schools were required to turn in a snapshot of their enrollment to the UIL on Friday, so the league can determine what classification and — for Class A through Class 5A in football — what division schools will participate in for the next two seasons.
The UIL will announce its updated cutoff numbers for the next alignment period later in December. We'll update this list with the enrollment numbers turned in by Abilene and Big Country schools as they come in, and we've also supplied the cutoff numbers and enrollment data from last year's realignment.
