Every two years, UIL schools go through the biannual redistricting process, where some schools switch classifications and receive new neighbors in their districts. Most of the attention is placed on the new football districts.

The annual unofficial start of football season has arrived with the recent release of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football as mail subscribers have started to receive their copies. This year’s edition of the magazine features two covers: one featuring Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire, formerly head coach at Cedar Hill High School, and Texas-San Antonio head coach Jeff Traylor, formerly head coach at Gilmer High School and one featuring defending 5A Division II state champions South Oak Cliff, the first Dallas ISD school to win a state championship in football in 60 years.

Twelve Mount Pleasant High School Tiger football team members will attend the Lineman Challenge State Championships on June 25 in Abilene after qualifying earlier this month. Team members have attended two Lineman Challenge events this summer competing against linemen from other schools in various challenges such as bench press reps, tractor tire flip, and sled pushes.
