The 2024 University Interscholastic League biennial realignment delivered what it usually does at Thursday’s Region I meeting in Abilene — with area coaches getting a mix of surprise, disappointment and in some cases, a new hope. 

Held at the Region 14 Education Services Center, those in attendance were given the UIL’s official packet at 9 a.m., wherein their new district homes were contained. As always, the meeting put an end to weeks of speculation and officially kicked off the planning stages for the upcoming season.
