[Pulp Fiction]

With 33 teams listed in Class 6A.... Only 15 out of the 120 counties have at least one 6A football team. If you drew a line from where Campbell County meets Ohio straight down in between McCreary & Whitley Counties, there are no 6A teams East of that line.

9 teams from the Lex/Richmond/Winchester/GTown area.
6 teams from NKY.
10 teams from Jefferson County.
2 teams from Hardin County.

That's twenty seven teams from seven counties and all seven are some of the biggest metro areas in the state. The remaining six teams are scattered in six separate counties in the Western part of the state.






I could be way off base, but I feel pretty confident in saying there is a major disconnect feeling from 6A to the rest of the classes.

You use your own point, the most populous areas in the state have many 6A teams. So shouldn't that mean there are many people who care about it?

Or is your statement, 'there are no 6A schools schools near me so I don't know anyone who cares'?

In all honesty there are few 1A schools in Louisville so I don't pay much attention to the class, but I don't disparage it just because of a lack of personal interest.

The most populous areas doesn't equal the most interest.

Let's look at some evidence behind by thinking........

2007 - Trinity
2008 - Trinity
2009 - St. X
2010 - Trinity
2011 - Trinity
2012 - Trinity
2013 - Scott County
2014 - Trinity
2015 - Male
2016 - Trinity
2017 - T or X ???

This is the eleventh season that 6A has been added, only four schools have won the state title. Three teams from Louisville and Scott County, this year either T or X will win it.
We all know that T and X are two of the best current and traditional football powers in the state. With the number of male students they have and the resources they have, they should be.


We haven't seen an Underdog story in 6A or the old 4A class since the 1991 GRC team that beat St. X in the finals... if you can consider that an upset.

From 2006-1997, 4A was won by either T, X or Male.

2006 - Trinity
2005 - Trinity
2004 - St. X
2003 - Trinity
2002 - Trinity
2001 - Trinity
2000 - Male
1999 - St. X
1998 - Male
1997 - St. X

In the past twenty one consecutive seasons, only FOUR teams have won the 6A or old 4A state title. T, X, Male & Scott County.... Twenty of the twenty one state titles have been claimed by a team from Jefferson County. Seventeen of the twenty one being claimed by a Louisville area, Catholic school.



Nobody can tell me that 6A or the old 4A class has had any type of true underdog or Cinderella type story in the past twenty one seasons. Where's the drama or excitement about a class that hasn't been competitive except for four teams in twenty one years? For the very small number of schools that have a legitimate shot at winning 6A, then yes, I would say they do 'care' about 6A, but that number is very small in comparison to those that don't. It wouldn't be right for me to say that the other twenty nine teams in 6A that aren't T, X, Male or Scott County don't give their 110% in practice and in games or they don't strive to win the state title each season. If 6A saw a state championship game that had two teams that had never won 6A or any other football state title, then I would have to say that 6A would get more interest than when T & X play each other.
