Its great to have two programs in the same area that are as good as HHS and Cov Cath are. What makes it even better is the fact that your stuck together like glue with enrollment.
Trust me, its better that way. When you have schools close that you dont play and are in a different class, you always hear about how if you would of played, they would beat you nicker:

How close are the two in proximity?

As the crow flies, my guess would be 5 miles or so. Takes about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic to get their by car.

IF we were to end up in separate classes, I'm quite confident the two teams would continue to play one another. However, as long as the KHSAA continues to allow geographically isolated schools to move up (and they should as that was "part of the deal" when the decision to go to 6 classes was approved), I expect Highlands and CovCath to stay in the same class. Highlands is more likely to become a 3A sized school than CovCath a 5A school. With no other 3A sized schools in N. Ky, Highlands would be geographically isolated as a 3A team. Plus, with Pendleton dropping out of district play, it would help fill out the 4A district if Highlands continued in 4A (with CovCath, Holmes and Harrison, assuming those 3 schools stayed 4A size of course).
