I want to point out that I do not know anyone at Sheldon Clark High School so this comment is only about the letter they wrote to ask to move down in class. It is a joke. How about all coaches write a letter about how bad their situation is when they have a down cycle in their program. The request to move down is because they don't have enough players and aren't competing well against schools their size. What is next with football? Don't keep score. Everybody win. We have hit a low in Ky. with some of the things that are going on in letting schools manipulate the class system. I always thought it was the coaches and school's job to get more kids out, teach them to play, promote a strength program, promote a stronger middle school program and feeder system among other things. It just comes off like hey we are down and losing so let us play down. Cry me a River!!! Whoever coaches there get to work and build your program. Plenty of schools suffer through bad years over and over. Maybe I missed it but i don't remember teams playing down because they were bad in the past. The enrollment is what it is. But on the other hand the KHSAA will allow South Warren to continue to play a class down for about 7 years straight (when all is said in done with this alignment and the last) based on the bogus numbers they are using with them. They will play 4A but should be 5A. That is a fact. But they have plenty of players and top notch facilities. Some of this stuff the KHSAA is doing is bad for football imo. Not very consistent with this whole process but they do many things like that. An oh..by the way be careful shaking hands after your games

The point is Cooper and Conner chose to move up in class. They are not playing in the class they belong, therefore they should not be able to force two legitimate 6A schools out of the NKY district. They chose to move up and should be the schools to face the burden of more travel.

 

Well heck with that argument Dixie Heights, Highlands, Nelson Co. Perry CC, Letcher CCC, CCH, Shelby Co. should not have been able to move either but I don't see you complaining about those schools. Not to mention with the growth of Cooper they will be 6A in 2 more years more than likely anyway. Of all the moves, the creation of a Boone County district makes sense ESPECIALLY when all these teams play each other EVERY year. The only way you prevent some sort of heartburn for someone is to NOT allow any team to move and you play in the class where you have the number of boys.

If the teams you listed are attempting to kick teams out of a local district and make them travel, then I agree. If they are not, then its apples and oranges. Conner and Cooper had the opportunity to play in a nice NKY district with Highlands and CovCath, but they chose the path of least resistance. The KHSAA dropped the ball allowing teams to play up in the first place, but the ruling stated they could move up. It did not state teams could move up and select the district of their choice.

No, but Conner and Cooper knew what they were doing. They knew northern Kentucky had plenty of teams in 6A and it wasn't nearly as strong as northern Kentucky 5A. They basically were choosing their district.

When will this stuff be released to the schools or public?

I would agree if the KHSAA did not have a hard fast rule of 32 6A teams. That is 8 four team districts. NKY has 6 teams, so 2 are going to have to go elsewhere.

Maybe, maybe not. The current cycle has had a 5-team district in 6A Northern Kentucky, with the Elizabethtown-area district only having three teams. Now I don't think the KHSAA will go with a 6-team district in 6A, but at the same time I'm not so sure that they won't.

When will this stuff be released to the schools or public?

 

Jason Frakes just tweeted that the draft should be released by 4PM, which is just over 30 minutes away.

How does Dixie voluntarily move down to 5A from 6A when they've got the numbers for 6A but Boone Co does not? Did Boone Co not want to move down?

 

I tend to believe that when DHHS "volunteered" to be dropped down, they had no idea Highlands would be allowed to play up. However, what I would LIKE to believe is DHHS knew about Highlands and decided to do it anyway.

No one said the motive was to remove anyone from their current district. I was simply stating it makes sense to have these 4 schools in the same district. If they get moved they get moved both schools will show up and play and not complain.

Did DHHS really "volunteer" to move or were they boxed into a corner and/or coerced by KHSAA?

Yeah, they pretty well shot past that deadline.

How can someone pass a deadline for something when it was approved that morning?

It's on KHSAA but the link to it won't open up showing the draft
