I’ve heard lots of things lately. Pikeville moving up to 2A but petitioning to play in 3A. Heard Beechwood, Fort Knox, Ballard Memorial all may be coming back down. Heard Russell may drop back down to 2A as well.

I would be surprised if Beechwood went to 1A, when about half their football team took the extra Covid year.

 If by "half their football team" you mean 9 players from senior down to freshman, then yes, you're correct, half of their team. And you're really good at mathing.

One of their players that took the advantage of the re-do year graduated already, and they have 2 or 3 more graduating this upcoming spring.

I doubt Beechwood is moving down to 1a. I have heard Cov Holy Cross and Newport might move down to 1a.

Beechwood loses their entire district in 2A. Holy Cross Cov and Newport are both moving to 1A and have no intent of asking to play up, and Lloyd is moving up to 3A.

My best guess is their new district will be something like Beechwood, Walton Verona, Bracken Co, and Gallatin Co. St Henry is going to be 2A and will probably join their district in 2025.

Assuming Trimble asks to go back up to 2A again like they did last time, I would see their district being Trimble Co, Carroll Co, Owen Co, and Shawnee, with DuBois being added in when they join 2A in 2024.
