CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The University Interscholastic League has released its 2026-2028 reclassification and realignment, setting the stage for the next two years of high school athletics across Texas.
High school football across the Coastal Bend saw some big changes, but most were expected based on the released enrollment numbers. In CCISD, Carroll moved up to 5A-DI, while Miller, Moody, and King dropped to 4A-DI. The Bucs join Beeville, Calallen, Tuloso-Midway and Port Lavaca Calhoun. Ray stays in 5A-DII with Gregory-Portland.
"We're in a similar district back in 2020. Very competitive," said Miller football head coach Justen Evans. "It was a great district, and so looking forward to renewing some of those rivalries."
Here are a the other main changes in Coastal Bend football. Sinton made a deep playoff run in 4A-DII, but will move down to 3A-DI.
"It's a neat thing playing local too. Y'all do such a great job of covering everybody," said Sinton football head coach Michael Troutman. "It's like you create those rivalries, the kids know each other and that's the great thing about playing South Texas football in the Coastal Bend."
London is making the jump up to 4A-DII. The Pirates new district includes Ingleside, H.M. King, Robstown and Rockport-Fulton. Taft dropped to 2A-DI, and Three Rivers moved down to 2A-DII.
"The Coastal Bend's five schools and then the three Valley schools," said London football head coach Andy Smith. "It's a great district, eight teams. Really excited about that on the football front."
