The outstanding @gchs_uk9 recently did an awesome study where he statistically broke down the 50 Greatest Programs of Kentucky History from a statistical standpoint.

 

You can find that thread here:

Using those 50 Teams I thought it would be fun to get a picture of the Historical Significance of all the current classes as the alignment has them today.

 

In told, 49 teams will be applicable as Lynch East Main is the lone closure.

 

 

Here is how the Top 50 Falls By Classification

It was my understanding that there would be no math.

 

J/k. Interesting stuff.

good stuff as usual. :thumb:

Nice analysis.

 

The difference between 4A and 5A would have been much closer if HHS and Cov Cath had not moved up to 5A.

Boyle and LexCath as well... that is 4 Top 25 Programs and a pair of Top 10

I am excited to see gchs_uk9's cumulative rankings.

 

I have to think you will see this strengthen 3A's case even more. Caldwell County and Trigg County should be near the top of the 50's... Lawrence County, Garrard County, and Sheldon Clark I would hypothesize are all in the Top 75, then Union County and Waggener wont have bad scores.

 

The other programs that stand out I expect to see listed fairly early beyond #50:

Paintsville

Crittenden Co

Lloyd Memorial

LCA

Monroe Co

Bullitt East

Rockcastle Co

Bourbon County
