4A has a couple of issues. Personally, I can't see Calloway and Hopkins Central not playing up into 5A.

But as it stands:

District 1: Calloway County, Hopkins Cent, Franklin-Simpson,Breckinridge County
District 2: Allen County-Scottsville, Warren East, Warren Central, South Warren
District 3: John Hardin, Nelson County, Western, Valley, Marion County
District 4: Collins, Franklin County, North Oldham, Shelby County, Spencer County
District 5: Russell County, Taylor County, Wayne County,Mercer County
District 6: Rockcastle Co, Clay County, Knox Central, Letcher County Central, Perry Central
District 7: Harrison County, Highlands, Holmes, Mason County, Cov Cath, Bourbon
District 8: Ashland Blazer, Boyd County, East Carter, Greenup County, Johnson Central, Rowan County

This would be my best guess. With Doss coming down as the lowest 5A team to replace Calloway and Hopkins Central. I struggled with any 3A team that may want to come up or even any of the next low 5As that may want to play down.

District 1: Franklin-Simpson,Allen County-Scottsville, Warren East, Warren Central, South Warren
District 2: Breckinridge County, John Hardin,Western, Valley, Doss*
District 3: Collins, Franklin County, North Oldham, Shelby County,
District 4: Taylor County,Marion County, Nelson County, Spencer County
District 5: Russell County,Wayne County,Mercer County,Rockcastle Co
District 6: , Clay County, Knox Central, Letcher County Central, Perry Central
District 7: Harrison County, Highlands, Holmes, Mason County, Cov Cath, Bourbon
District 8: Ashland Blazer, Boyd County, East Carter, Greenup County, Johnson Central, Rowan County

Agreed. I first though Calloway and Hopkins Central would try and stay 4A come hell or high water just to stay away from the new 5A west that keeps Hopkinsville, Christian County and BG + adding Madisonville and Owensboro.

But, staying in 4A, you get Warren Central, Franklin-Simpson, John Hardin, Warren East and AC-S. All 5 are perennial Region/Semi-Finalists and three of them are state champs within the last few years if not for Highlands, BG and Boyle County.

Either way, Calloway and Hopkins Central are up a creek without a paddle in terms of competition.
