teams don't move around... they are only allowed to play up. that's why its allowed. Highlands plays up to higher competition because blowing everyone out in their class size is LESS competitive. Look at it... Highlands should be knocking heads with Bowling Green and co. for state championships so Highlands isnt in the State game every year. ask Lex Cath , Boyle and all the rest if they mind. Look at the Highlands and Harrison games, those kids love being blown out every year, its not good sportsmanship.

Belfry wouldn't win 5A... get real 1A,2A<3A<4A<5A<6A

The superiority complex from Highlands is not very complex. Highlands is a superior program... FACT. They do more with less kids than anyone. Proof is in the pudding, and its better for KY that kids in less structured programs dont get their brains beat in. And I think in the late 90s Highlands tried to move to 4A (biggest at the time) but was not allowed by KHSAA.

Reasons
1 More competitive games... in terms of play.. score etc.
2 Better for Ky Football... blowouts suck. Its a classy move

That's my point though. Highlands will have just as many blowout wins in 5A as they do in 4A. Who in the east will even give them a game most years? You act like 5A is so much more difficult when in reality it's not. Hence the reason Highlands dominated 5A after the first big realignment. Who know if BG will continue there trend. You don't think 3A will be just as tough? Name 3 5A schools who can continually beat Lex Catholic, Boyle, Central, and Belfry on a consistent basis. Did you forget how teams like BC and LC were moving down?
Why is it so important to follow Cov Cath? I'm a 100% sure you'd still play then in the regular season.
