So how did they take kids out of Boone, Ryle and Conner? Did they draw new district lines or what? This was obviously expansion rather than consolidation.

As to their basketball program, they'll get their turn. Just takes time with a new school. They might as well play the better and bigger schools now, because they would have to play them soon enough anyway. Besides, those little single A schools in NKY are tough to beat. Not sure a purely single A schedule would help much. lol

Yes, it was due to significant growth in Boone Co. The cut across all the former district lines. If you saw a map of it, it would make better sense.

I agree with your point about playing the bigger schools. Cooper is a 6A school when it comes to size wise. They played all the 6A schools in Football and were beat by an average of 40 points. Basketball has gotten off to a similar start, and one would expect their Baseball team to do the same.

Where they will be able to compete is in individual sports. I have already noticed some first place finishes in swimming. They have a very good golfer who has transefered in which may well bring Cooper a State finalist before he graduates.
