Again, this has been beaten to death, but Trinity clearly belongs in the district with Oldham County, Eastern and Ballard.

 

Geographically, Trinity is closer to all three of those opponents than Fern Creek. I think this should end the argument, especially as OC is going to be the school furthest from all their opponents everything should be done to reduce the size of that district.

 

Socially, Fern Creek is closer to Southern, Seneca and Male than the East End areas of town.

 

Historically, Trinity has been district partners with Eastern and Ballard, while Fern Creek has traditionally played Southern and Seneca.

 

This is the current alignment:

 

Red: PRP, Butler, Southern, Seneca

Green: Manual, StX, Male, Trinity

Blue: Fern Creek, Ballard, Butler, Oldham County

 

 

This is the alternative:

 

 

Red: PRP, Butler, Manual, X

Green: Southern, Male, Seneca, Fern Creek

Blue: Trinity, Ballard, Eastern, Oldham County

 

Again, I know that this is a retread of a years old discussion, but I really feel like the visual aid demonstrates how clearly gerrymandered the super district is.

Yes, Male is 528 yards south of the loop.:walk:

 

While Butler is actually INSIDE of the Watterson...:walk:

Ballard & Seneca are just as close to being inside the Watterson as Male. Why doesn't that enter in to it?

It's not what makes sense historically or geographically in Jefferson County, but that's a horse that's been beaten into paste.

 

Some on here beat topics to death everyday. So let the beating continue on this topic! :lol2:

Because moderate thread necromancy amuses me, here's what the first two rounds of the playoffs would have looked like under the other alignment (assuming that the X-Manual-Butler-PRP district is paired with the NKY district):

 

Round 1

Ryle at St X

Butler at Campbell County

Dixie Heights at Manual

PRP at SK

 

Southern at Trinity

Eastern at Fern Creek

Seneca at Ballard

Oldham County at Male

 

 

Round 2

Campbell County at St X

Manual at SK

 

Fern Creek at Trinity

Ballard at Male

Alternatively, pair the Male district with the NKY district:

 

 

Round 1

Ryle at Male

Seneca at Campbell County

Dixie Heights at Fern Creek

Southern at SK

 

PRP at Trinity

Eastern at Manual

Butler at Ballard

Oldham County at St X

 

 

Round 2

Campbell County at Male

Fern Creek at SK

 

Manual at Trinity

Ballard at St X

I don't think either look like the end of the world.

Let me know when they play somebody!

My man Ram (member of the original Big III).....explains it to you.

It would be hilarious if you really believed that would happen.

 

I would laugh my rump off. I think that Trinity wins and X loses is at least as plausible as the other way around. I think both games are tossups.

Yes I know both are plausible, but in your mind you're more sure of an X victory then a T victory.

Not particularly. Male beat X at X and now they play at Male. Trinity beat Manual at Trinity and the game is at Trinity again.

 

I know Manual is the hot team right now, but Trinity controlled most of that game and never trailed. X and Male went back and forth. I know the Tigers are healthy, but Male is at home. I think both games are tossups.

4 Lexington, 5 Louisville, and 3 NKY teams advance in 6A. So out of the rest of the state outside of those 3 areas, only 4 teams can manage a playoff win in 6A? Is it safe to say one of those 3 areas is a lock to win it each year? Are there just not too many 6A teams in western ky or in mountain regions?

 

How many of the 32 6A teams are in NKY, Lexington & Louisville? I am guessing a fairly high %.

I think Male is more likely to beat X than Manual is to beat Trinity.

By which I mean I think the X-Male game is a true 50/50 toss up and I think Trinity is a slight favorite over Manual.
