With all eight qualifiers for this weekendas Class 5A Region I basketball event from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, a last-minute venue switch was pulled by the UIL on Wednesday, changing the tournamentas location from Midland to the Birdville ISD Fine Arts and Athletic Complex. Itas an excellent common-sense decision from the category thatas often criticized as such a thing but. Participants wonat have to miss school the day before, fans will soon be ready to attend the matches, and parents wonat have to gas up the car twice in making the 660-mile round trip to Midland. But, perhaps most importantly, districts helps you to save a ton of money. aI made on Wednesday four athletic owners real happy,a Cousins said. Southlake Carroll AD Kevin Ozee said the change would save yourself his school aa really conservativea $10,000 to $12,000, because Carroll had both girls and boys clubs wanting rental vehicles, meals and resort rooms for a 2 1/2 day trip. With Lewisville ISD sending three groups (Flower Mound Marcus boys and girls, and Hebron girls), Keller ISD sending two (Keller girls, Keller Central boys), and Coppell ISD sending its boys group, thatas perhaps $40,000 to $50,000 in savings. aAll credit would go to the UIL,a Ozee said. aItas a fantastic decision.a .
