Looks like Knox Central would move to 3A and most likely would end up in a district with Bell County. That leaves an opening in Corbin's district. Also looks like Whitley County would move down to 4A, making them a likely candidate for the 4th team in Corbin's district. That would make the North Laurel, South Laurel, Southwestern, and Pulaski district a 4 team district instead of 5.

Boyle loses Lex Cath and Bourbon to 3A and Anderson to 5A.  I believe Boyle will be in Lincoln's district as they are like 9 miles apart.  I'd like to see them in with Russell and Taylor County.   Be interesting to see how it works out.

Good points. I agree with you with Boyle and Lincoln being placed in the same district. I wonder if Harlan Co would ask to play down from 5A to 4A and they would be in Corbin's district as the closest 5A schools are in Laurel County. Or they could put Corbin and Boyle in the same district

I didn’t think you can request to play down but I could be wrong.

However it appears that Harlan Co is the smallest 5A team so if anyone from the 4A group requests to play up then based on the way the info release yesterday reads,  Harlan Co would be given the first option to move/stay down to 4A.

You're right. I got ahead of myself. Someone from 4A would have to ask to move up first. If someone did ask to move up, the lowest in a class is then given the opportunity to move down.
