Other than the Orangefield Bobcats moving back down to Class 3A, which everyone found out in December, not much else changed for other Orange County schools after the University Interscholastic League held their Realignment for new districts that was announced Wednesday Thursday morning.

The Bobcats will see some familiar faces in all of the sports.

In football, the Bobcats will be in Class 3A Division I Region III in District 10-3A in which they will play Anahuac, Buna, Tarkington, Hardin, Kirbyville and East Chambers.

In all of the other sports, the Bobcats will compete in District 22-3A against Anahuac, Buna, Hardin, Kirbyville, Kountze, Orangefield, Warren and East Chambers.

In Class 4A Division I Region III football, Little Cypress-Mauriceville and Vidor will continue to play the same previous foes as they will compete in District 10-4A against Huffman, Livingston, Lumberton and Splendora.

With Orangefield moving down to the 3A ranks, Bridge City and West Orange-Stark will see Jasper enter their Class 4A Region III Division II football district as the Bulldogs will play foes further south now. Those three will be joined by Hamshire-Fannett, Hardin-Jefferson, Liberty and Silsbee.

In all other sports, Jasper will join the fray in District 19-4A that will include Bridge City, LC-M, Vidor, WO-S, Lumberton and Silsbee.

Everyone can go to the UIL website to find all of the new district alignments across the state.
