I think this will make 4a the best. You really have no major powerhouse teams. Just about any team in 4a has a good shot at winning a title for the next 3 years. I like it a lot.

There is still a very clear hierarchy of teams. It's just you don't have that one dominant program that Highlands was.

As I look at it right now:

Tier 1:
Collins
John Hardin
Warren Central
Johnson Central
Franklin County
Ashland

Tier 2:
Bourbon County
Warren East
Mercer Co
Russell County
Knox Central
Wayne County

Tier 3:
Madisonville
South Warren
ACS
FS
North Oldham
Mason County
Rockcastle County
Scott


Tier 4:
Everyone Else

My prediction is that the 4 Titles awarded come out of Tier 1...and all the State Finals participants over the 4 years come mainly from Tier 1 or Tier 2. Tier 3 may make a playoff push to the Regional Finals or Semi's...
