I have no opinion but need to add to my post count also.
They could meet at a neutral site maybe
Though you’re just getting your post count up RayBob, your reply was suggested. Ysleta supe said they would host the game, Plano said NO. They also offered to play at a neutral site which Plano also said NO. I believe the UIL may get involved as districts sign 2 year contracts in non district games.
More like formal handshakes. No contracts being signed in high school football unless it's for a stadium rental. You can drop or add anyone you want as long as you stay under max # of games or scrimmages.
