I did a little research using the KDE website and found the best enrollment numbers I could and came up with a list of schools without football and their enrollments.

Barbourville 690 (K-12)
Notre Dame Academy 614
Sayre 575 (K-12)
Elliott County 540 (7-12)
St. Henry 480
Williamstown 430 (6-12)
Jackson City 425 (K-12)
Livingston County 425
Owsley County 375 (7-12)
Wolfe County 375
Hickman County 350 (7-12)
Lee County 326
Menifee County 317
Cumberland County 310
Dawson Springs 310 (7-12)
Lyon County 305
St. Mary 298 (6-12)
Carlisle County 287
Burgin 245 (6-12)
Silver Grove 235 (K-12)
Monticello 218
Villa Madonna 184
Augusta 169
Trinity (Whitesville) 135
Cordia 127 (7-12)
Piarist 68 (6-12)

Now I know nothing about the Notre Dame Academy, but I'm kinda guessing it's an all girls school with an enrollment that high and no football. All in all, it seems as if there are a good deal of schools that could field a team, or at least have the apparent numbers. The ones that seems obvious include the ones from the top of the list like Barbourville, Sayre, Elliott County, and St. Henry. But I think everyone on that list down through Augusta could have it. Here is some perspective: Fulton City has an enrollment of 198, but it's grades 7-12. Now, I realize they are not very competitive, but still. If they can have it, why can't others? Just some thoughts.

Good research but presenting the numbers this way (based on number of grades) is a little confusing. For example, St. Henry is over twice as big as Barbourville about 120 students in a grade as compared to around 50 in a grade.
