Fayette County Public Schools Boycott of Lexington Catholic is officially over.

[knightsdad]

In a lot of states, private schools are given credit for each student counting 1.5 for classification purposes to offset the perceived advantages privates have. If this occurs in Kentucky, Catholics enrollment would be counted at 1350 which may put them in 4A.

[strongopenyon]

If LexCath stays in it's present location, I don't see any way that it could move to 4A. They've just about maxed out space-wise now.

Land locked!

 

Only way to grow is to build up.

Where is everybody are they still in the Dunbar vs. MBA thread? I thought this day would be like Christmas to some Trinity fans.

As I posted earlier in the thread you quoted, I still think the FCPS administrators are/were clueless.

 

To echo Guru's point and answer my own question, the only thing that changed to cancel the boycott was LC's state title and FCPS football's regression. SEE no state appearance since 1999.

[All Tell]

Your hate for Lexington Schools is all the response I need. You never cared about the boycott against Lexington Catholic you hate the Lexington Schools and you tried to cover that up by the Lexington Catholic boycott. Now I guess we will buy out of the MBA contract even though Dunbar made the contract. That makes a lot of sense.

 

You are right you had no intentions of posting in this thread. Because it's good for the FCPS and bad for people who hate them. You had plenty of intentions to post in the Dunbar vs. Montgomery Bell thread and you had no problems calling Dunbar scared and afraid in that thread because they were ducking Lexington Catholic.

 

I really have nothing against Trinity at all. I will be the first to wish them good luck this year. You are the state champions and your program is a class act. I wish Trinity the best.

 

Maybe, just maybe you should knock the chip off of your shoulder. How you can even come close to determining that I hate Lexington schools from what I posted in that thread is completely beyond me. Do I think the Lexington schools were childish with their silly boycott? yes. Do I hate them? no And the whole comment about buying out of a contract was sarcasm. I have no clue (and really could care less) who instituted the contract.

 

Let me tell you this, I just became a HUGE Dunbar fan. I really, really hope that Dunbar and Trinity both advance to the regional championship game. It's fun beating people on their own field in the playoffs.

Touchy thread, where is this Lexington you speak of !!!!!!! jk

[stick1]

I think it should be clear that Coach Hensley was at Jessamine County when this boycott started. He played Lex Cath every year with less kids than he has at Dunbar. Most of this stuff was not because of coaches, it was some older people that had a big chip on their shoulder. Some of those people don't have the voice they used to have.

What position do you play?

[Tough as Nails]

Part of the reason for the end of the boycott was because in basketball every team in the district must now play each other twice during the season. Although this has no effect on football since Lex Cath is 3A and the FCPS are 4A.

[footballfever]

This will only help Lex Cath. What if every team in Lexington calls and wants to play. Catholic will get to pick and choose who where when. They will probably only try and play 1 Fayette school per year. So you will probably only see 1 year contracts.

[All Tell]

What position do you play?

 

I don't play but I promise you I will be there if the two team meet.

 

I had a great time the last time Trinity played at Dunbar.

Actually, the states that I know use a multiplier all use a different number. Illinois uses 1.65, Missouri uses 1.35 and Tennessee went with 1.85. I think 1.5 is about right.

[Zanny]

Well, that is already practice in Kentucky, but it is for either all boys or all girls schools. Lexington Catholic is Co-Ed.

No, it isn't already in practice. Doubling a single-sex school's enrollment for classification purposes isn't the same as assessing private schools a multiplier on their enrollment.

[stick1]

I can understand the multiplier in an all boys school but why would you do it in a co-ed school? Makes no sense to me.

[All Tell]

Because it would force some private schools to "play-up" in classification. LexCath would probably become 4A in that scenario and Christian Academy of Louisville would probably become 3A and Louisville Holy Cross would probably become 2A. But depending on the multiplier a school like DeSales which already has to double it's enrollment for classification purposes could drop in classification, that is unless those that support a multiplier would have single sex schools first double their enrollment and then apply the multilpier.

 

It would have NO EFFECT AT ALL on Trinity or St. X.
