The reason you don't see many more teams play is early start time, no consistency on who you play or how playoffs are seeded(points by wins of schools size can be gamed), to many games in a condensed season, and just a lot of bickering(to be fair that is in all youth sports now).

To help it you need 3 classes but go by your HS classes - if you feed into a 1/2A HS you are Class 1, 3/4A class 2, 5/6A class 3 and divided up into districts and region in like HS, limit on season games etc.

Probably impossible to do without close to total participation, but just some ideas.

1. there already is a game limit, has been since 2014. (many non association teams do not follow that game limit, even though its a state regulation.)

2. The play as your high school class doesn't work because you have many high schools that have multiple feeders and those feeder schools are different sizes. Georgetown middle for example has a male enrollment of roughly 140, should they be in the same class as another feeder to Scott Co HS, Royal Springs that has close to 380 male enrollment?

3. Playoff seeding, if everybody participated, you could have true districts and true regions, until that day, all lines are blurry.
