Is everyone's school mandatory during the Winter? For the programs that I am most familiar with: Highlands, Newport Catholic, Campbell Co., if you are not playing on a Winter sport team, you are required to be at Winter Weight lifting.

**FBALL** · 01-23-2009, 01:37 AM

Russell's is not mandatory.

Actually I don't think it can legally be mandatory.

Yeah I think since "Weightlifting" is not a sanctioned KHSAA sport it cannot be mandatory for players to attend.

Offically mandatory, No. Unoffically Mandatory, Yes! Wink

Breathitt has a good number of kids who are lifting right now. There has not been as many this week, because we haven't been to school since last Tuesday(roads were pretty bad in places).

Officially and unofficially are two totally different things. I believe the politically correct way of saying it would be "prospective players are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to attend".

Your second one was "Can you answer my second one?":confused: Wink

All of Bell's are in the weightroom. It is done during school. Advanced PE w/o it I would suspect very few would be able to lift after school due to transportation and the distance most live from school. Coach Hilton is a great on the field Coach, but he maybe even better in the weight room!!!!!

Obviously those who participate have an edge on those who choose not to. Just a kinder, gentler way to say it.

mightydog, to answer the second part of your question, from what I do know they follow a fairly strict regiment but most of the kids seem to enjoy it. In reality though it is up to the individual how much they put into it and into making themselves stronger and faster for the next season.

Alot of schools do offer it as an advanced PE class. Russell used to but now it is after school wich does allow more kids more time.

Travel and time are more of an issue for schools like Breathitt County who have many kids that do travel a long distance to school. Most of the kids at Russell live within 5-10 minutes away at the maximum.

~~Magicjefferson25~~ · 01-23-2009, 04:52 PM

At Breathitt we have it set up so that if you play any sport you have p.e. the last class of the day. If you play Football you go to the den, Baskeball the p.e. gym and ect.

**BlackcatAlum** · 01-23-2009, 05:04 PM

Last I heard, Prestonsburg had around 35 players in theirs.

That doesn't include the players that play basketball, run track, and play baseball.

Once agian I am amazed at this. Do even the very intelligent, college bound kids do this? At my old high school they had PE classes but very few kids took the class. We were too busy taking college prep classes. Wt lifting was after school and everybody on the team went. Parents are hurting their kids by not having them taking classes to prepare them for college. What is the percentage of kids from these schools that go on to college?( Bell , Breathitt, Russell, ect.) In another post they were talking about even the top kids from eastern KY schools not being prepared for college, maybe this is part of the problem.

Yes, even the smart kids take these classes. They take their AP or college course earlier in the day and have football p.e. for their last class. There is a kid who scored a 32 on his ACT who does this at Breathitt.

I believe they take the weight lifting class as an elective.

Well, I can't speak for the other two but Russell is a very well respected academic school. They don't offer it as an elective anymore but they don't have kids that have the travel issues that some of the county schools do. Since travel is an issue and it takes some student athletes a long time to get to and from school, I believe it is a great thing that these schools can offer Advanced PE as an elective.

As I said, Russell is probably the top academic school in Eastern Kentucky and one of the top schools in the state. They are anually one of the highest ranking schools on standardized testing and send a majority of graduates on to institutions of higher learning. Further proof for you could be the fact they they have been the Governers Cup State Champions 4 times along with many other academic awards and achievements that you can see at this link if you would like.
