I just don't agree.
Unless there was a division 2 of 4A for the major enrollment schools and big privates.

It will never be "fair" to expect the Harlan and Whitley counties of the world to be in the same class as Trinity and Male.

If we don't care about being "fair", then get rid of all classes.

I was having a very similar conversation earlier.

The difference between a 6 class and a 4 class is you have a lot more teams playing teams they shouldn't be playing, and ultimately can't compete with.

There's always going to be bad teams. And, some teams will probably always be bad. 4, 5, or 6 classes won't change that.

In a 6 class system, the middle of 1A wouldn't be that much larger than small 1A. In a 4 class system, you've got Fulton City and Glasgow possibly in the same classification. And for some quick numbers, Fulton's KHSAA roster had 17 kids. Glasgow had 59.


The fewer classes hurt teams on the margins far more, because they end up usually playing someone way out of their league. And I have more of an issue with that, as well as the pretty big county schools being lumped in with T and X, than I ever will have with just about anything else concerning the size and amount of classes.
