THRALL — The University Interscholastic League’s biennial realignment on Monday provided Thrall High School with its roadmap for the next two seasons, introducing new faces to the Tigers’ football schedule while stabilizing the landscape for basketball and volleyball.

Under the new 2026-28 alignment, Thrall football will move into District 13-3A-Division II. The Tigers will remain grouped with current rivals Lexington and Rogers but will now face a new slate of opponents, including Anderson-Shiro, Florence and Schulenburg.

Thrall athletic director and head football coach Aaron Vanecek said the shift to a sixteam district offers a strategic advantage regarding the schedule’s mandatory bye week.
