Most scheduling is done to control costs (limit travel expense). Maybe not so much for schools with unlimited budgets but it does play a role. Isn't that why Cooper wanted to move to 6A?

I don't know why Cooper moved. I don't have inside info in that decision. That was just my guess but could be totally wrong. With that said, until this year, how many times did SK play HHS and CCH etc who are also local?

They did schedule X this year though.

 

Forgot about that. My youngest is a sophomore at U of L so we're going to go down and see that one. Never been to a game at St. X so I'm looking forward to it.

You be the judge.

Average against 6a teams.

SK had a nice schedule last year and has a very nice schedule this year. Nobody can complain about the schedule anymore.

 

Ok. So now that that is settled. What's it going to take to gain some respect for this program? Do we have to be undefeated state champs or is it ok for us to lose to teams that are better than us occasionally? I get that we shouldn't lose to smaller class teams regularly but would the world come to an end if we were to lose to a good Scott Co. team in the playoffs, as an example?

It is a very nice Stadium on the home side.

I see only 1 losing record and that was against T. Not bad at all. What is SK's record against Louisville teams?

No one is talking elite level for SK. I hope to be at that level someday. I think our program is undervalued presently and believe we're a top 10 program in 6A and aspire to be top 5.

 

Highlands was elite in their old classification. Let's see how they do in the new one. That era could be over.

 

They have already been in 5A and won multiple championships. I think they will be fine. A lot of open questions about this year's team, so I'll give you that. But guess what, even if they don't win state this year, I bet they'll be back soon enough!!!

X, not T

Average against 6a teams.

 

Well average would be competing with them right? Meaning they win some and we win some. Not bad for a small school. I would say HHS competes with all the Louisville schools. That was the question right...could HHS compete with the avg Louisville schools? Well it looks like they can compete with all the Louisville schools...not just the average ones.

Most of us know why SK didn't play FTH and it had everything to do with a disagreement between coaches, not out of fear as many FTH folks believe. Some SK fans believe we played HC because we were losing kids to them from the middle school teams. Not sure about that but could be true. Not sure why we don't play CovCath. Not sure that we gain anything from playing them but not opposed to it.

Unlimited budgets??? Can't speak for other schools, but HHS players and parents fund raise in order to raise the money for that stuff. Again, they work off the field to be able to do those things. Your school has twice the enrollment and less players to travel with, why can't they raise the money?

Really? Not sure you have the depth to play a 6A schedule and survive a playoff run with the big boys.

And 3 times the restrictions on what they can do for fundraising.

I throw enrollment out the window. When one team has more kids on their roster. SK has around 80 kids on their roster while Highlands has over 100. So enrollment, class size and injuries all go out the window. When Highlands lose it is because the better team won!

 

OMG! 16,580 post later and you finally said something that made sense!

I wanna see SK play schools like Lakota West, Wyoming, Princeton and Anderson.

 

Then they should do it!

I honestly don't know why more N Ky teams don't take advantage of being in the same area as some of the nations best football teams. It's part of the reason the Colonel Youth Football program moved to play in the GCYL a couple years ago.

And by the way- Wyoming is an Ohio Division 3 school. Similar in enrollment to 4A.
