TEMPLE, Texas — Thursday, the University Interscholastic League released its latest cycle of alignments for high school sports in Texas.
The process, done every two years, starts in October with snapshot day in which the schools turn in their enrollments to determine which class and division they'll be placed in for the next two years.
This year, there is more change among the Central Texas large schools than in recent years, with Killeen ISD schools Shoemaker, Killeen and Ellison all dropping from Class 6A to Class 5A alongside Belton. Lake Belton is joining the UIL in football for the first time in Class 5A, as is new KISD campus Chaparral High School.
Reigning state champion China Spring will move back up from 4A Div. II to Div. I.
Below, you can find the alignments for the 2022-24 cycle, from largest to smallest.
