Texas Inter scholastic League considers redistricting AAA classes
The state executive committee of the Texas Interscholastic League meets Wednesday to study a proposal by chairperson T Freeman Wichita Falls high school to reduce districts for Classes AAA and AAAA from eight to 18. The plan aims to cut travel, lower traffic hazards, spark rivalries, and equalize team numbers. If approved the change would take effect Sept 1 1956. The committee also weighs charges against Tiggett for ineligible player use on the district champion girls basketball team and proposes spring meets in five conferences with two year district assignments instead of annual.
