Being a Catholic school must have something to do with it as they have won every state title since the beginning of the volleyball state tournament. I love how some of our sports brethren in Northern Kentucky feel like they are "all knowledgable" about every section of the state and have the answers for every problem or issue that plague other counties or areas. Club programs in Eastern Kentucky have been started in the past and can be started in the future. The problems is the distance and lack of population to maintain club programs or improve the quality. Most of the schools are smaller and depend on the same athletes to compete. You state that Campbell County and Ryle teams are full of club players. Where are these schools located? Oh yeah, in the greater Cincinnati area with a population of well over one million people. Oh yeah, they are located within a one hour drive of Dayton(Ohio), Louisville, and Lexington. Oh yeah, they reap the benefits of being in an area of where there is some top notch CATHOLIC programs.

Oh yeah... Explain to me again how a public school would benefit because there are top notch Catholic programs competing with them . . . It actually would be the opposite, taking skilled players away from the public schools, a problem a rural school DOESN'T have.

Oh yeah...I don't know where u live, but I live in Kentucky. The population of Dayton, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio have little to do with Kentucky High School Volleyball, since Ohio students surprisingly go to school in Ohio.
