Hooray Hooray - it is Realignment day! And while some things will look the same for Carroll, some things will be different for the next two years.

As part of this year's Bi-Annual Realignment, Carroll is still in District 4-6A with the Keller schools as before, but the one lone exception being Fossil Ridge dropping to class 5A. So Justin Northwest comes in to replace Fossil Ridge and join the other Northwest ISD schools. Here's where things get interesting - the HEB schools are also joining the district to create a 9 team district this season. The full district is below.

District 4
Euless Trinity
Hurst Bell
Keller
Keller Central
Keller Timber Creek
Northwest
Northwest Eaton
Northwest Nelson
Southlake Carroll

And yes Carroll is still in Region 1 and would face a West Texas match up in any area round. And to answer your other question, yes DeSoto is still in Class 6A opting up despite having 5A numbers. There is your re-alignment in a nut shell. More details such as the full football schedule will be released at a later time.
