Brownwood News – An event that happens every two years will take place Monday morning across the entire state of Texas.  It is the almost sacred UIL Reclassification and Realignment announcement that will dictate which teams that your favorite school district will play from Fall 2020 through 2022.

The reclassification and realignment will be released Monday, Feb. 3 at 9:00 a.m. CST. The new alignments, established by enrollment figures submitted to the UIL by its member schools in October, will serve as the football, basketball and volleyball districts for the next two school years.

The UIL has posted the 2020 reclassification and realignment policies and procedures on the UIL website at http://www.uiltexas.org/alignments.
