Does KYMSFA offer a map of the boundaries for the 4 regions or at least a list of which counties are included in what regions? I could care less about when a NH vs MEECE matchup happens....who the heck knows if it will even happen. What I do know is that maybe the committee or powers that be should pick a site that is more friendly to all participants. Meece and Williamsburg are driving 3hrs 30 minutes or more to Belfry; New Harlan, Mtn View, Hazard, and Evarts are driving around 2hrs 30 minutes; Paintsville and Adams are driving around an hour; and Phelps and Pikeville can leave school an hour before kickoff and still have time to warm up.

You're right about comparing a middle school budget to an NCAA budget. The NCAA at least can justify making teams play cross country because they have the money to do so. What is the KYMSFA justification for sending middle school kids over 3.5 hours away for a football game?

How do you pick a friendly site when the friendly sites don't want to host or even offer to host?

You can't force schools to host the Region 4 games.

The solution is always more middle schools play in where the number of regions can increase and shrink the area that schools have to travel.
