Bottom 32 schools in male population play in Class A. Mayfield is the second largest school. I have heard that there is talk of Allen Central and South Floyd merging. If so the next two schools would be Brossert and Clinton County. Allen Central is the biggest school in Class A. Mayfield would be the third largest rather than second. When schools are redistricted in 2014 Mayfield may bump up or stay down based on population shifts. There is still a large difference from the bottom teams in Class A compared to the top teams. The bottom teams have approximately 50 males while the largest have approximately 200.Khsaa site sets out the numbers used when the schools were redistricted.Proportionately the largest differences are in Class A and 6A. The other 4 classes are very equal proportionately. I would assume that is why those classes have the least schools. To me this is probably about as fair as you can get it. 6 classes is about as far as you can stretch it and have credible classes. There will always be some schools with a size advantage. For once I thought the KHSAA did a good job. I know some people complain about the number of classes but I believe it is appropriate to keep schools on close to equal footing. A reduction to only 2 schools from each district making the playoffs would avoid some of the early blow outs and winless teams making the playoffs.
