There is NO alignment anyone can make that won't have someone travel a 100 miles or make everyone happy.
32-40 teams spread out over 120 counties, 380 miles by 140 miles. It isn't happening :igiveup::please:

Agreed -- but we can do BETTER.

Bell County in the West? Please.

Heck, according to official KHSAA documents, Prestonsburg presented a possible 2-A alignment with Fort Knox -- west of Louisville, mind you -- in the same district as NewCath, Newport, etc.!

Do they own a map at all in Prestonsburg? Even offer geography? Since Prestonsburg submitted it, the KHSAA had to consider it at its board of control meeting. But it's doubtful anyone took them seriously (especially since teams have yet to decide who is playing up AND Prestonsburg flunked geography).

This is why four-class football was much better than six classes. With more teams to pull from, you were likely to have closer travel buddies. Plus, you had to earn your way into the playoffs. Had larger districts, sure, but Fort Knox was in a six-team district THIS PAST SEASON. Which supposedly shouldn't have happened with six classes.

Also, in six classes, you're stuck with teams you might not have ties to. For example, E'town and LaRue are in a district with Central and Henry. ... E'town and LaRue don't play Central and Henry in JV football or freshman football. Not in many other team sports (basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball-softball) either. Not when you can stay closer to home and play four schools from Nelson County, five schools from Hardin County, two schools from Hart County, etc.

Six classes cause more problems than their advantages.
