Athletic directors discuss possible league realignments
Ulysses athletic director Lee Gillen led a late May meeting in Scott City with seven other directors and one principal to probe interest in realignment. The group, including Cimarron Holcomb Lakin Hugoton Colby Goodland, weighs creating an eight-school league to address shrinking enrollments and JV C-team gaps while preserving competition and activities across 4A 3A schools. Scheduling and 8 man football concerns were noted as primary issues.
