i personally would love to see Highlands in 6A. i think they have a great team and many times they have been overshadowed by St. X and Trinity because they play in a different class (see cantrell ratings last year). it would be good for the state of football in kentucky to see the 3 top teams in the state play.

while i agree that classes should be divided up initially by enrollment. i think geographical isolation and level of competition should be the final say so in the arrangement. i think instead of basing the next realignment in 2014 base purely on numbers i think the should look at team success. if you have a team in 4A that goes 3-37 over the four years let them drop to 3A to see if they can compete (no matter the size, barring isolating them geographically). the opposite is true for team success. if you have a school that very successful let them play up if they want. sometimes equal/competative playing field (which is what khsaa says they want) isnt purely about numbers of students that attend a school. i think we as a state should be making gradual changes to the system to improve competition not wholesale changes, i am just guessing but it looks like 1/4 of the teams will be playing in different classes next year, doesnt that seem extreme?
