I agree that the KHSAA doesn't want to eliminate an district, yet ust for argument sake, would you be against a 6 team district if that was an option?

58th District:
Allen Central, Betsy Layne, David, Piarist, Prestonsburg, South Floyd

59th District:
Belfry, East Ridge, Phelps, Pike Central, Pikeville, Shelby Valley

It would make for better district tournaments, more excitement/importance on regular season district games = bigger crowds and more money. I don't think anyone in Floyd County wants to travel to Magoffin County for a district game, neither do Pike County fans want to travel to Jenkins for a district game.

I agree with some of the other posters, there's no way that alignment would happen. Besides, I see no 60th, so that would leave the 15th region short a district. It's not like one of the other regions can spare an extra district either. Maybe a team or two, but not an entire district.

Here's what I think should happen:
57th and 58th stay the same
59th = Valley, ER, Letcher Central, Jenkins
60th = Pikeville, PC, Belfry, Phelps
(add Piarist or David in, if needed)

The only thing I don't like is splitting up Valley and Pikeville, that rivalry really seemed to be reborn this year and it would be a shame to break them apart. But, if that is what's best geographically...
