[LOOKAYANNER]

Just a reshuffling that I came up with for discussion (nothing to be taken too seriously, lol) for three of the four mountain regions. But like HCE said in an earlier post, if realignment is done again, which eventually it will be, it would have to start from the 1st region and rework it from west to east.

Mine is just one that felt might work well for the mountains. In the 14th Knott and Letcher counties are close to many of 15th region schools with all the new road systems. I kept Cordia in the 14th even with it being in Knott County because of the school’s close proximity to Hazard. I moved Jackson County to the 14th because it borders three 14th region counties, Owsley, Estill and Lee. Clay County and OBI would be a good fit too for the 14th. I kept Red Bird, located in Clay County, in the 13th because it’s actually closer to Pineville-Bell Co than it is Manchester.

I may have left a few 15th schools out because I did this from memory and not looking at a regional map or any list. I already see that I didn’t list Piarist (if they still belong to the KHSAA.)
