The University Interscholastic League released its 2026-2028 reclassification and realignment for football, basketball and volleyball, shifting the landscape of Texas high school athletics for the next two years.
The Pilot Point Bearcats football program moves from District 5 to District 6 in 3A Division I Region 2, with familiar foes Whitesboro, Pottsboro, Dallas A+ Academy and Dallas Life Oak Cliff and a new face in Gunter.
“There were a lot of different ways things probably could have gone for us, but as it turned out, we stayed pretty much the same,” said Chad Worrell, Pilot Point athletic director and head football coach. “Obviously, losing Palmer and Dallas Madison, and adding Gunter to the district, makes it a very competitive district from top to bottom.”
