The key to keeping a good feeder program is having someone who has the time to take over the program. Its tough for a high school coach to do it all because in order to keep the kids interested you have to practice them often and make sure they go to matches every week. A high school coach couldnt do this because he would be having his own practice and traveling with the varsity kids on weekends. So basically a head coach needs someone who can and will work with kids everyday or every other day at least.

As far as A new region or district this wont happen because of the 32 man state tournament brackets. Back in the day, there used to be districts and region before state, but state was only a 16 man bracket. In order to make more money the KHSAA got rid of the district and made 8 regions so that 32 kids in each weight class went to state. Generating more revenue for them and the city. What does need to happen is for the Regions to be re aligned. Region 8 is just getting to big, and if a few more schools start programs like they are supposed to its going to be to big. Schools like Whitley, Wayne, McCreary, and maybe even Ashland need to be re located. It made sense when they first re aligned it to all regions, but with the addition of so many schools it now is to big.
