I guess Great Crossing is a new school?

There is NO WAY Johnson Central & Scott County should be in the same district or region in any sport.

The Google machine says it's 126 miles from JC to Scott County. That might be one of the longest distances between "district" teams.

Agreed, JC is on an island in the 5A map https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid...789062&z=9

Do they petition to play down? If they stay in 5A Montgomery is almost a guaranteed district opponent. Madison Southern makes sens for a 3rd, a 4th would likely be West Jessamine since I don't seem them splitting up the Laurels. Terrible drives all around.

The District 6 in 4A would be the best.
JC would probably bump FD or Lex Cath. to District 5.

[WILDCAT NATION]

JC is on an island. If they are 5A this may be it. If they are placed down in 4A then those districts will all movement. FD to Rowan to Boyd is several miles but isn't terrible as it is all 100% I-64. None of these 3 schools are more than a mile from the interstate.

[FoSho]

Why would 3A District 4 have 6 teams, and District 5 only have 4? I'd move Garrard or Boyle to 3AD5 and have it 5 and 5.

[Tri-State Fan]

Just an FYI for you and the KHSAA, Middlesboro is in south east Kentucky. A small town located in the Appalachian mountains. Why are you and the KHSAA putting us in a central Kentucky district? It's 2+ hours from Middlesboro to Lexington.

Thanks

Put Middlesboro in district with Leslie, Breathitt, knott and whoever else.

Been to the crater before. Know exactly where it is. That is the district they have been in for sometime now. The whoever else in the other district would be 2 Pike County schools. I can assure you they are as far or farther from East Ridge and Shelby valley as they are LCA and Danville and would have to go to one of them each year vs LCA every 2 years.

There are just in a tough spot because there isn't anyone close to them in their class. The issue didn't exist when there were 4 classes and eastern KY schools weren't shrinking at the rate they are. But that is what we are now dealing with.

[WILDCAT NATION]

Why would 3A District 4 have 6 teams, and District 5 only have 4? I'd move Garrard or Boyle to 3AD5 and have it 5 and 5.

Same reason D7 has 6 and D8 has 4. Geography matches.

[bball_fan]

Everything I have read says this is the proposed alignment and the schools have not had a chance to give feedback yet. Johnson Central would surely argue this point and I could imagine one of the lesser competitive teams in the Covington area trying to get dropped to single A instead of Newport Central Catholic.

My question is why they do not try to equal out the number of teams per class... this system gets worse with every realignment it seems.

The enrollment numbers set the initial classes. Now schools have a chance to either request to play up or play down or drop out of district play. In the past I believe schools have been able to wait until districts are set to decide if they want to drop out of district play, I believe now they must make that decision before districts are set. The alignment is now in a petition phase if you will where schools will request to play up or down based on any number of factors. For example Highlands traditionally plays up a class and usually wants to stay with Cov Cath that means that most likely they will request to stay in 5A. The KHSAA will then go to the lowest on the 5A enrollment and ask them to play down, if they refuse they move to the next school, they will do this a total of three times. I assume if all 3 refuse to play down then either Highlands is denied or the class gets an extra team not sure on that.

Once teams have petitions to play up or down and teams drop from district play the KHSAA will set them into divisions. The current list in this thread is just an educated guess.

In Middlesboros it is possible if Eminence and Jenkins drop district play again and NCC requests to play up (which they may) that Middelesboro get an offer to drop to 1A, if they stay in 2A they will most likely be in with Leslie, Breathitt and Knott

Never heard exactly how that was done but that is very informative. After hearing what you had to say about Middlesboro; given the chance they would certainly want to play down. They would mostly likely be in a district with Pineville, Lynn Camp and Williamsburg. That would be a district they could win and never have to travel more than 45 minutes for a district game.

Middlesboro would have finished 3rd in that district. They played all of them.
I do know what you are saying and it needs to happen, before they drop out. From the previous post it will be a gamble, if they have to decide before the districts are set.

[FoSho]

Yep cause Pendleton Co in D4 makes a lot more sense than Boyle in D5. 🙄

Might not matter. I'm hearing Boyle is discussing a petition to 4A.

[thecoacher]

If Ashland moves down to 3A, which could happen if a few move up, that would throw a rod in the 3A districts in that area.

[HCS]

I played around with 4A to make all districts either four or five teams:


CLASS 4A
District 1 - Calloway County, Hopkins County Central, Madisonville-North Hopkins, Breckinridge County.

District 2 - Allen County-Scottsville, Franklin-Simpson, Warren Central, Warren East, Marion County.

District 3 - John Hardin, Moore, Valley, Waggener, Western.

District 4 - Franklin County, North Oldham, Shelby County, Spencer County, East Jessamine,

District 5 - Bourbon County, Harrison County, Highlands, Holmes, Scott

,
District 6 - Ashland, Boyd County, Rowan County, Frederick Douglass, Lexington Catholic.


District 7 - Rockcastle County, Russell County, Wayne County, Clay County, Lincoln County.

District 8 - Corbin, Harlan County, Knox Central, Letcher County Central, Perry County Central.

[Bobcats 9108]

I thought Wayne Co was going down to 3A not staying in 4A.

[Football_Maniac]

Best I can tell through Riherds- MBoro 3-1 vs Harlan last 4 years. 3-1 vs Pineville in one of their best runs of talent in 20 years. 1-0 in vs Lynn camp. And 0-2 vs Wburg in game ten after the gauntlet of LCA Danville Somerset but competitive in both showings. Not bad. Not great. My question is you obviously have an agenda so why not just post it and be done. Quit stating half truths or adjusting the facts.

On a side note and more importantly I’m sure Middlesboro would be happy just getting. Away from LCA Danville and Somerset. They had a number one seed prestonsburg on the ropes at half. With several injuries

[Predator/Prey]

Very misleading with your post. Off the top of my head the last 3 years 1-10, 1-10 and 2-9. Winning just one of those district games the first 2 and 2 this year. My agenda is time for change , it is no secret. Lynn Camp is not in that district. We can not win that district. I was responding to the post that said we would. Problem with that, because it is fact.

[Football_Maniac]

Please dispute the last four seasons against those opponents
With facts. It is public knowledge what i stated. I have no axe to grind or cross to carry but I can do a little inordinate amount of research. Apparently you cannot or don’t want to

[Predator/Prey]

What year could they have won that Class A district? Next year will be even worse. If you want to debate it take it over to Middlesboro 2018. Outside of Jenkins and Berea they play the weakest non district schedule they can.

[Football_Maniac]

Bell 3a
South laurel 5a
Clay County 5a
Pineville-Harlan- Williamsburg 1A 2-1
Claiborne co Tn 3a-4a equivalent in Ky
I would say they could schedule much less competitive opponents and smaller like pineville and or Bell does if they wanted. Jenkins Jackson co Berea Cumberland gap. Thomas walker. Lynn camp- mcreary central breathitt co. Just to name a few. Conversation is over. You know nothing about football no reason to continue it. If you have such a problem you should go see your ad - your principal or maybe even have some gumption and go see your coach. You seem to know a lot of the answers along with next generations esp for guys that never played.

[Predator/Prey]

You either Coach here or have never seen this bunch play. Conversation with you is over just like this program.

[Explorer]

Anyone with knowledge know what Johnson Central will request to do? My guess is they’d request if not beg to stay 4A. Playing district games in Georgetown and Mt. Sterling would be a lot of travel. They did play Montgomery in JV or freshman ball in last couple years. On opposite side of that argument would be, its only 1-2 long distance district games a year so not really a big deal. They played Louisville school away last year. So obviously they don’t mind to travel.

There is NO WAY Johnson Central & Scott County should be in the same district or region in any sport.

Great Crossing is the new high school in Scott County.
It's will make both of them 5A schools.

To be honest, Johnson Central has had worse travel before. And there numbers are to great now to play down IMO.

I don't really get the big deal of traveling a couple hours to away games. Those teams have to travel to your place ever other year...

District 4 - Franklin County, North Oldham, Shelby County, Spencer County, East Jessamine,

District 5 - Bourbon County, Harrison County, Highlands, Holmes, Scott

,
District 6 - Ashland, Boyd County, Rowan County, Frederick Douglass, Lexington Catholic.


District 7 - Rockcastle County, Russell County, Wayne County, Clay County, Lincoln County.

District 8 - Corbin, Harlan County, Knox Central, Letcher County Central, Perry County Central.

While I like the way you have it better competetion wise, wouldn't it be better to flip Corbin and clay?

[FoSho]

Can't see Boyle Co moving up to 4A with this alignment. Only a district w/some kinds combo of E Jess, Lincoln, Marion, LexCath and Fred Doug would work.

3A is already laid out nicely with several teams located nearby.

[HCS]

While I like the way you have it better competetion wise, wouldn't it be better to flip Corbin and clay?

Yes, it would, now that I look at it.
I'm used to Clay and Rockcastle being in the same district, but Corbin is closer to the others.

[RoShamBo]

As for the Middlesboro issue, bump Middlesboro down to 1A. Move Washington County over into the district with Danville, LCA, and Somerset.

[I Rule The World]

As for the Middlesboro issue, bump Middlesboro down to 1A. Move Washington County over into the district with Danville, LCA, and Somerset.

I can't understand why Somerset isn't in the Clinton, Green Co. District... If they'd put them in that district and Washington Co. and Shawnee with Danville and LCA that'd make things more geographically sound
