The Texas University Interscholastic League (UIL) announced on Monday, February 1, 2016 that the Eagle Pass C.C. Winn High School Mavericks and Lady Mavericks will be staying in District 29-5A with five new members joining the district while three previous members are staying.

The new District 29-5A school members include Corpus Christi Cal Allen High School Wildcats, Alice High School Coyotes, Floresville High School Tigers, San Antonio Harlandale High School Indians, San Antonio McCollum High School Cowboys, Uvalde High School Coyotes, San Antonio Southside High School Cardinals, and C. W. Winn High School Mavericks.

Corpus Christi Cal Allen Wildcats are a perrennial powerhouse in all sports in Class 5 A in Texas while the Alice Coyotes are always competitive, Floresville Tigers are always tough, Harlandale Indians and McCollum Cowboys are highly competitive as well as the Uvalde Coyotes and Southside Cardinals.  The C. C. Winn Mavericks District 29-5A has definitely been redesigned with perennially highly competitive teams in all sports, band, and academic UIL categories.

The new District 29-5A commences in August of 2016 and continues through 2018.  Go C. C. Winn Mavericks!

Both the Alice Independent School District and Corpus Christi Cal Allen Independent School District have announced that they plan to file an appeal with UIL regarding their realignment to District 29-5A for 2016-2018 due to the long travel distances and time required between schools, increased financial costs associated with greater traveling, and students academic studies and overall health effects.
