The main reason you will never have a public/private split in this state is because there is not enough private schools to initiate their own playoff. Even under the 4-class system this was true. There are only a few private schools, relatively speaking, in this state. It is just that Trinity and St.X have been dominant for so long and this created the impression that private schools dominated. As a matter of fact, public schools have held their own over the years and have a bunch of state titles. If you ever split public and private, who would T and X play for a championship? If I counted correctly, there are less than 15 private schools divided among 6 classes. How would you do a public/private playoff? If you noticed with the roatating of the districts playing each other, they try to get T and X to meet before the state finals. Male beat X in 06 and then last year the two big boys met for the title.
