District Realignment and Such

February 1st 2010, a crazy day for high school coaches. District realignment, a word often associated with "dentist office" in the high school world.

A day in which every Big Country Coach either cringes at, or embraces the thought of. I mean they do find out there fate in 2 minutes on who they will be playing for 2 years.

As the coaches file into the room, things get more and more tense as the seconds move closer and closer.

Calm before storm.

Watching all this take place, was like witnessing cattle run to the only drinking hole in a 10 mile radius. Pure mayhem. At exactly 9 AM in the morning, that is when it all went down. A huge box, carrying all the vital information in packets, ripped open... only to be handed out to the unknowing coach.

Good or bad for each coach, this is the time of reckoning. And looking at each coach, you knew what was going on in their head, it was written all over their face.

After finding out where there team wound up, this is when the "fun" begins. The coaches attempt to fill out their non-district schedule. Each one pulling out a cell phone like they were calling 911. Emergency mode.

Once everything is sorted out, a since of normalcy kicks back in. And every coach walks out trying to figure out how they are going to win all their games for the next two seasons.

Good Luck.
