(February 1, 2016) — Hico has its 2016 and 2017 football opponents all set while Dublin and Lingleville are each down to one opening on their schedules.

Local teams are finalizing their football schedules following the UIL biennial realignment, announced Monday. New districts were released for all UIL football and basketball members, affecting the 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years.

Dublin and Hico will continue to face off in season openers in 2016 and 2017. Hico will follow that with Tolar, Millsap and Italy, in order. The Tigers are in a seven-team district and the order of games in 7-2A Division I has not been set.
