New 6a

[Knute Rockne]

Does anyone have a "proposed" breakdown of the 6 class system, and which teams would be in what districts? If you do please copy and post it.

Ram,

 

Where did these projections come from? I have seen a projection from the coaches' advisory committee and they have quite a few differences.

 

If these are CURRENT enrollments, keep in mind that classification is determined with 4 year average enrollments.

Where did these projections come from? I have seen a projection from the coaches' advisory committee and they have quite a few differences.

The projection you saw from the coaches advisory committee was probably the one based on enrollments from about 4-5 years ago ... it was widely circulated on the coaches' list server.

If these are CURRENT enrollments, keep in mind that classification is determined with 4 year average enrollments.

Actually, I believe the KHSAA is using two-year averages.

This Class would be great! All of these school's have an equal chance of winning the 5A state championship. It really equal's out the competition. It would start up a few new rivalry's and add to a few others.

This Class would be great! All of these school's have an equal chance of winning the 5A state championship. It really equal's out the competition. It would start up a few new rivalry's and add to a few others.

 

I acknowledge that someone will always be at the low end of a class but as an Ashland supporter I think this would be pretty disasterous for us due to several reasons I discussed in general on other threads previously.

 

Basically ALL of our long time rivalries would be left behind in the 4A class. You can squeeze some of them into the non-district spots you have available on the schedule but the competition will have less & less emphasis over time = less crowds, less money, less interest in football.:irked:

 

Johnson Central would be our best rival and closest school - thats roughly 1 hour away. After that the next closest possible district teams are Montgomery Co - roughly 2 hours travel, Dixie Heights - well over 2 hours, Woodford Co. and Scott Co. - again both well over 2 hours!

Besides the long travel time & costs these aren't very attractive in terms of rivalries.

 

I'm not looking at whether we would gain any advantage competition wise. I'm just concerned that it would lessen the excitement, interest, and well being of (in this case) our program and probably many others.:eek: The schools that have many, many easily accessible competitors within a 10-15 drive in heavily populated areas such as Lou, No.KY, and Lex very seldom have to consider this issue. :walk:

 

I voted on the BGP poll for a 5 class system b/c I was concerned that 6 classes would split us too narrowly and also since KY HS football has never been stronger than it is currently I therefore feel any changes made should be done incrementaly in small steps rather than anything drastic - ie. lets look at 5 classes first and see how that works.

 

Perhaps some other folks can evaluate this preliminary 6 class setup and let us know how it effects schools they are familiar with.:confused:

With the likes of Harrison Co., Holmes, Bullitt East, Covington Catholic, Rockcastle Co., Boyle Co., Lexington Cath., Bell County, Warren East, Highlands, Mason Co., & Paducah Tilghman in the "Proposed 4A", how can anyone say that this would not be one the toughest overall class in the setup along side of Class 6A?

 

Beechwood would win Class 1A EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!!

 

Danville, NewCath, Mayfield and LCA would dominate Class 2A.

 

As weak as the Class 1A looks, Class 3A looks just as bad. Corbin, Belfry and Prestonsburg would be favorites every year.

 

Of the top 3 classes (as far as student population), Class 5A looks like it's somewhat weak. It would be dominated by schools in western KY year in and year out.

 

 

Here is how I see the classes breaking down as far as overall toughness:

1. Class 6A

2. Class 4A

3. Class 5A

4. Class 2A

5. (tied) Classes 3A & 1A

1. I don't recall anyone saying 4A WASNT tough :confused:

I discussed the negative of loss of natural rivals and long travel distances.

 

2. re; western schools dominating 5A isn't a difficult analysis - you can probably list all the 5A schools east of Lexington on one (1) hand :irked:

 

A 6 class plan is just too radical :fight: IMO

[Powerhouse Cats]

I agree with Woody. You need good rivals in highschool and thats going to be difficult to do with no close schools to play against. Ashland's closest opponent on that list would be Johnson Central.

[CoachJ]

Beechwood would win Class 1A EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!!

 

Ahem...cough, cough...excuse me.

 

Everybody over in our neck of the woods got that? Good. Make sure you cut it out and post it up somewhere you'll see it everyday.

I posted it that way in hopes that some of my mountain folks would see that and use it for motivation for their teams. You don't have to tell them that it was from someone else in the mountains but just someone on the internet.:thumb: :thumb:

No matter. Still good for our guys to see how much "respect" we're getting from ANYWHERE in the state. Sure makes it easier to push them to work even harder than they have been this winter.

 

Personally, I hope nobody out there changes their mind...until someone gives them a REASON to perhaps.
