In case of ties, the team with the most state championships gets the better ranking. If that number is the same, I added the total number of district, region, and state championships together and the highest number gets the better ranking.
This is the third of four posts on the topic. Check back tomorrow for the top 10.

I think maybe more weight should be placed on State Tournament appearances, wins, and Region and State Championships. It appears that Paducah Tilghman gets their ranking based on District Championships rather than Region or State accomplishments. I think that may say more about the district than the dominance of the program (nothing against Paducah Tilghman). Just looking at how they get ranked.

I love this @gchs_uk9. There were so many quality independent districts with Rich basketball history who have consolidated. It's awesome to see that in this thread.
When did Maysville HS and Mason co consolidate?

I'd love to see what Shelby County's weighted ranking would be if one were to account for district and regional titles by Shelbyville, Waddy and Bagdad, since their attendance zones would (for the most part) still be in the Shelby Co. district even after Collins High School was built.

Also, genuinely shocked that Scott County is only 11th.

Mar 22, 16, 11:45 AM #9Love seeing Maysville and Mason County both crack the top 20.
Still have a Maysville-Newport "last Maysville regular-season game" program.

Mar 22, 16, 12:13 PM #14Just curious, where do you find the information on district championships. I was able to find all the state tournament stats and regional championship winners online but couldn't find the district numbers.

Mar 22, 16, 12:37 PM #15Research my friend!
Actually, there is a fantastic website a guy on BGP runs that has all the past tournament scores (I'd link it, but I'm not at my home computer) and there was a book published a couple years ago with the same information. I compiled that into files at home - I've got every tournament scores for every school that has ever existed in Kentucky.
