I got this from another site.


Should KHSAA go back to the old 4 Class System, with 5A being for Private Schools only?


1A - Small Schools (Jenkins, Leslie County, Knott County, Estill County, Bell County, Wayne County, Paris, Bourbon County, Garrard County, Morgan County, Magoffin County, Casey County, Fleming County, East & West Carter, Harlan, Heath, Emience, Paintsville, Dayton, Bath County, Berea, Madison Souther, Kentucky Country Day, Gallatin County, Glasgow, Hazard, Breathitt County, etc. etc. etc.)

2A - Medium Size Schools (Somerset, Perry County Central, Central, Bellevue, Newport, Dixie Heights, Paducah Tilghman, Mayfield, Ohio County, Union County, Apollo, Belfry, East Jessamine, West Jessamine, George Rogers Clark, Russell, Fern Creek, Letcher County Central, Meade County, etc. etc. etc.)

3A & 4A - Would be Powerhouse schools (Highlands, John Hardin, Bowling Green, Rockcastle County, Harlan County, Boyle County, Danville, Ashland, etc. etc. etc.)

5A - Would be Private Schools only! (They could play other teams throughout the State until District and playoffs started)



what say you?

No disrespect, but this doesnt make any sense at all. 1A would have schools like Breathitt County, Bell and other current 3A Mountain area schools while 2A schools would be Mayfield (currently 1A) and Meade County (6A)?

However, I saw on another message board where somebody even mentioned the idea of 3 Classes, which I like. Ideally, though, I would like to see 5 classes, with 1A and 5A having the 32 smallest/biggest enrollment schools.

Essentially, you would have the same set up in those classes as we have in 1A and 6A now, but 2A, 3A and 4A would have 10 or so more teams each than they do right now. Having 10 or more teams in each class would make for almost every district having 5-7 teams in each district, potentially. Thus creating the regular season dog fights we were all used to with the 4 class system, yet also giving the little guys in the state a fighting chance in 1A and putting the super big boys with who they need to be with as well.
