Week 7 — Highlights

University Interscholastic League will be meeting soon to discuss the state championship game locations. It was a rotating Class 5A state championship games between Houston, Dallas and San Antonio. Now though, all state championship football games are central site games which Houston would not be able to handle due to their turf. The UIL will look into consindering other sites that may not be domed stadiums.

The UIL will also look at changing to six classifications. They would like to maybe go 1A through 6A and get rid of the divisions I and II. They will also look into using replay in championship games.
