The Criteria:

- Hardware rules. Heavy emphasis on post season success, specifically Titles and Finals.

- I am doing this on a "Pound for Pound" basis. It's not about whether a 6A should always be better than a 2A, but about how strong each program is relative to it's competition.

- In order to be considered the program has had to at least play in a State Finals, as well as show sustained success.

Ranking the Top 10:

 

10. Scott County- Cardinals edge Hazard by the slightest of margin with almost identical resumes. One more Regional Final the only difference

 

9. Male- Strength of competition and 4 trips to the Finals

 

8. Danville- Strong resume and essentially a dead tie with Beechwood but..

 

7. Beechwood- Tigers get the advantage on recent success over the Ads

 

6. Bowling Green- Purples get the edge on Championships

 

5. Belfry- Very strong resume as the Pirates are near the top in every category

 

4. Central- Their Head to Head vs. Belfry give them the edge

 

3. Boyle County- The Championships move them up. Not the strongest recent resume, but their run is undeniable.

 

2. Mayfield- At or near the top in every category

 

1. Highlands- #1 in everything but Regional Titles. No brainer. Birds rule the Publics!

The Next 5:

11. Hazard

12. Russell

13. Tilghman

14. Pulaski Co

15. Bell County

Agree or disagree?

 

What factors do you think should be significant that have not been outlined?

I might move Male a couple spots higher. As you say, strength of competition is a big factor for them and they had some great seasons that they ran into some powerhouses during the playoffs.

 

Bonus points for the team in 2000 being perhaps the most remarkable team I've ever seen play (all due respect to the Quick, Hatcher, et al Trinity teams).

6 of the Top 15 Public Programs of the Past 15 years reside in the new look 3A, and 8 of the Top 19.... that surprised me.

How many of these schools are independent school districts?

How many of these schools are independent school districts?

 

I am not sure.. someone can probably correct me:

 

Looks like 7 of the 19

Highlands, Mayfield, Bowling Green, Beechwood, Danville, Hazard, and Somerset

 

I know these are County Schools:

Belfry

Russell

Pulaski County

Bell County

Rockcastle County

Boyle County

Breathitt County

Scott County

 

I Am Not 100% sure what the following are classified as:

Central- I know it is a Magnet School, but still think it is County

Male- Pretty sure it is a Traditional County?

Corbin- Think it is County?

Tilghman- Not sure here if Independent or County.
