I posted this in the Football forum... I also wanted to post it here to make sure it was seen.



Every state classes football, but for comparison, here are how our border states class basketball.
I'm using basketball as an example because more schools offer basketball rather than football.
All of the information came from their state association website.


Tennessee has two divisions, then the divisions are broken down by class.
Division 1 are the public schools, division 2 are the private schools.
Div. 1 has three classes (1A, 2A & 3A).
Div. 2 has two classes (1A & 2A).

West Virginia has three classes.
1A, 2A & 3A.

Virginia has six classes.
1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A & 6A

Ohio has four divisions.
Div. 1, Div. 2, Div. 3 & Div. 4

Illinois has four classes.
1A, 2A, 3A & 4A.

Indiana has four classes.
1A, 2A, 3A, & 4A.

Missouri has five classes.
Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4 & Class 5.






The overall talent level in Kentucky high school basketball isn't what is was even just a few years ago. Prep schools and Academy's are taking the top level talent with the hope of receiving a better scholarship offer from a D1 program.
Even if a team like Ballard, Bowling Green or Covington Catholic looses a superstar, they would still blow a team like Jenkins, Phelps or Harlan off the floor before the first period was over. Nobody will ever convince me that Ballard and Phelps should EVER play for the same state championship.

Two classes would be perfect.
1A, 2A & 3A: Small school.
4A, 5A & 6A: Large school.

But....but....but.....all those other states are just "cowards"......:Thumbs:

We all know that change (class system) will never take place until the KHSAA sees the attendance numbers continue to drop......which is happening. People complain, money talks!
