They were in 7/1 with the Desoto County Schools. Easy region schedule with minimal travel. MHSAA move Tupelo to 7/1 and moved Oxford to 7/2. That means now Oxford is in with the Madison /Jackson schools and Starkville. So where their most distant drive was about an hour, now their CLOSEST drive is an hour and a half to Starkville. Not to mention the district is a bear with Starkville, MC, Clinton, and Germantown for football and basketball

The division is much more manageable for baseball, and I think soccer appears to be similar, but that's ALOT of travel for baseball series to be played. Just overall a brutal move for OHS both from a comp and travel standpoint.
