You can't be serious. Any moron can coach a team that's bought and paid for. A complete embarrassment to the khsaa and everyone that does things the right way.

What? The Catholic community of Trinity and St.X is now a Baptist revival? But just for athletes don't forget. Or that X operates the same as T but some cowardly public schools still opt to play them? The whole thing is a joke. You know it. Everyone knows it. Oh wait, they work harder. I forgot.

Earned your advantages?? What a joke. You mean bought your advantages? But I'm quite sure that every player spanning the entire border of Jefferson County, Shelby County, Bullitt County, Oldham County, and of course, Indiana, is at Trinity because they just wanted to go to school there. After all, isn't that the "archdiocese of Louisville" boundaries? Or are there more counties? And it looks from the Friday night programs that the archdiocese now extends to the Baptist faith as well. What a joke!! Good to see the public schools finally have some guts and quite playing them!

Private Feeder Schools versus Recruiting

No. I never said that. I never said anything about the classification system. Never mentioned it. Read again. The public/private issue is not a classification issue. I'm sure you know in the state of Kentucky the only sport that is classified is football. -

You are wrong. It is true. They just can't show up at the front door like they could at any private school in the state. -

Where privates and how privates get kids to come to their school is completely different. Lexington Catholic, according to the archidiocese of Lexington, can accept students from numerous counties (something like 30 or more counties). That is absurd. Privates in Louisville, the same thing. For the purpose of athletic competition, this is not the same as public schools. Period. No restrictions, no policy to follow, nothing. Just go. Doesn't matter how or why. That's like the SEC telling Kentucky they can only recruit in Kentucky, but they still have to play all the other SEC schools who are allowed to recruit the entire country. Why don't they do that? Answer. Equal playing field Why do all Division 1 schools have a limit of 85 scholarships in football? Why do they have scholarship limits in all sports? Answer. Equality. For the purpose of ATHLETICS, everyone is operating under the same policy. Why do professional sports have salary caps? Answer. Equality. Equal playing field. ATHLETIC equality. Everyone operating under the same regulations. Why do 39 of our 50 states have complete or partial seperation of their public and private schools? Do I need to give you the answer? Does anyone seriously think the public and private schools in Kentucky are the same animal? -

For the purposes of athletics, that is totally irrelevant. -

I, too, brother, have lived in Louisville my whole life. The bottom line is that the boundaries that private schools have, which are none, are extremely larger, different, and in most cases, don't even exist. In public schools, that is not the case. The public schools in Kentucky and the private schools in Kentucky, are in fact, two different animals. For the purposes of athletics, not education or educational choice, or family autonomy, they are two seperate animals. Yet compete for the same trophy. 39 other states have recognized this and have complete or partial seperation for championship play (i.e. the playoffs). Why doesn't Kentucky?
