Overton's Mason Rowe attempts to make a tag on a pick-off play against Frankston. The University Interscholastic League made a dynamic change to most team sports besides football on Tuesday. The UIL's legislative council voted to add divisions for each classification, meaning a "big" division and a "small" division for each sport, Division I and Division II. In other words, like football, there will be a Division I baseball champion for 3A and a Division II baseball champ for 3A. And this will take effect immediately, beginning in the upcoming school year. (Photo by RONNIE SARTORS - SPORT SHOT PHOTOGRAPHY - ETBLITZ.COM)
