You realize how close together NewCath and Highlands are, correct?

 

I never would have thought that myself, I knew they were close, but not 2.5 close. Danville and Boyle are exactly 2.6 miles apart.

1. NKY - I hate to admit it, being that I'm a South Central guy (WKY in this poll) but NKY is head and shoulders above in the overall picture. They just care more up there…oh, and there’s that little place across the river that helps a bit with the talent pool.

 

2. WKY - I put WKY ahead of Louisville because outside of T, X, and Central, Louisville schools can't seem to win outside the city limits. I put them over CKY due to depth of schools. Outside of Danville, Boyle, and John Hardin, CKY football is downright bad for the most part.

 

3. Louisville - It's a crime what the JCPS does to its non-darling schools. Total ruination of the neighborhood and community pride aspect of high school football. Louisville football is just disgusting with all of its recruiting, bussing, and politics...but there is an undeniable wealth of talent there.

 

4. CKY - Danville and Boyle are the best concentration of quality football outside T and X in the state. Outside of those two John Hardin has become a force, but one that can't seem to get over the BG hump. Beyond them, most of your schools are struggling.

 

5. EKY - Smash mouth football played by big boys, but overall, speed is the death of these schools. No amount of coaching can help these kids keep up. Some of the neatest stadiums and most physical football are played here though.

 

6. Lexington - Remember when someone posted the governing rules for sports in Lexington? Yeah, that pretty much sums up Lex. football. What a tragedy, as that there is tons of talent in the area. Proof that small minded administrations can make an armpit out of a gold mine.

 

Read my mind. Verbatim...

The bold text is a myth.

For that matter, just about every NKy program up here (which is @ 25+ High Schools?) is within 10-15 miles of each other (as the crow flies).

 

Great concentration of talent and success.

 

Thought this might also help.

 

For the purpose of those not familiar with NKY and nearly all of the high school’s close proximity to one in other, I give you the following:

 

Campbell County Football High Schools

 

Newport Catholic, Newport, Bellevue, Dayton, & Highlands, are all less than a 5 minute drive apart from each other. All can get to Bishop Brossart and Campbell Co. in 15-20 minutes. Bishop Brossart and Campbell County are less than 5 minute drive apart.

 

Kenton County Football High Schools

 

Holmes and Holy Cross are 1 mile apart, and Scott is only 5 miles away. Holmes/Holy Cross to Covington Catholic less than 5 miles apart, CovCath to Beechwood less than 2 miles apart, Beechwood to Dixie Heights less than 3 miles apart. CovCath to Ludlow, less than 3 miles apart. Simon Kenton is between 5 -15 miles from all Kenton County schools.

 

Boone County Football High Schools

 

Boone County, Conner, Cooper, & Ryle are all 7 miles apart from one in other. Walton-Verona is less than 20 miles from all.

 

Ever school in ALL 3 counties, except for Walton-Verona, can get to one another in well under 30 minutes, with most less than 15.

1. Louisville (Big Boys and Central)

2. NKY (HHS NCC BHS in hunt every year)

3. WKY (Mayfield, PT, BG, Fort Campbell in the hunt every year)

4. EKY (Belfry, Bell, Hazard, Breathitt always good always in the mix)

5. Central (Title town not what it used to be)

6. Lexington (Sad to see what is happening up there)

It means that he thinks the talent in NKY comes from Cincinnati. :lol2: :popcorn:

That is a good one. Nobody leaves Cincinnati football for KY football.

That may or may not be true, however, I know of at least one former Highlands player who transferred to and played at Moeller.

Yes, and he did not make much of an impact at either school.

Yes and he transferred back to Ohio when he realized he wouldn't star at Highlands.

The bold text is a myth.

Exactely, there will never be a convincing argument that will say players from Cincinnati are coming across the river to play ball in NKY. Would a player rather play for a St X, Moeller, Colerain etc. or a Highlands, Cov Cath, Beechwood. I'm thinking they would rather stay put.

I would say rate the state as you see it today and remember post one is a decade old.

 

1. WKY & NKY - Both had 2 Champs and 1 runner up

3. Louisville - 1 Champ & 2 runner ups

4. EKY - 2 Runner ups

5 & 6. Central & Lexington no titles or runner ups

Yes and he transferred back to Ohio when he realized he wouldn't star at Highlands.

 

That is one , Highlands has been playing football for how many years?
