You might want to take a look around and see where you are....because it is obvious you do not "know!"
Instead of being a keyboard cowboy calling people liars, ask AD/Coach Borchers yourself. If Randy tells you it was the county school system that "forced" him to play 6a, ask him who from the the school board made that demand.
^ Ditto for asking Trosper.
If you do not like the answer you get from Randy or Dave, call Jeff Griffith, now the Barren County HC, and ask him who from the school board "forced" Boone County to remain in 6a. If making a long distance phone call or trying to find the area code to complete the call is too much, just call Jon Smith at Boone County High School because he was the AD at the time.
By the way, the decision to play 6a was not even given a thought, until at one of the winter NKYFCA meetings, when HHS and CCH told everyone of their intentions of moving to 5a. Essentially, that night it was decided to move to 6a, during the next couple of days talking on the phone each decided to petition the KHSAA for a move to 6a. But since you are right there and very much in the "know," I am not telling you anything new. So, this information is just being shared with all the people on the outside!!
The Boone County school administration does not give a rats butt what division the football teams play in! Why would they? It isn't like they have to increase the athletic budget if they stay 5a. Plus, it is not Ryle, so the other schools do not matter, see where all the admin send their kids!
It was 100% each schools decision, more specifically each coach.
By the way, I am not convinced it was a totally bad idea to move to 6a!
