Interesting. How many points did Trinity have and how far were they from the cut-off?

 

55 points total, good for 60th place

 

21 district titles, 4 regions, 7 wins at state, and 1 state championship

You do know that were going to need the bottom 25 or so as well, right?

 

Currently 29 schools in Kentucky that have never won a district title or region title. Most are the smallest of schools, as you might expect, but some bigger names on that list are:

 

South Warren, Christian Academy-Louisville, Waggener, and Lexington Christian

Where was Hazel Green located?

 

When was Warren Central created? Interesting they are 13/13/14.

 

Awesome history lesson. I do think the district championship is too heavily weighed. Some districts require one win while region always require three. Wonder how a 3:1 ratio would change things?

@gchs_uk9 where did my Jumpers fall...I know it wasn't high, just wondering how far out of top 50 they were.

Where was Hazel Green located?

 

Hazel Green on this list was in Laurel County, near East Bernstadt. It closed in 1970 to create Laurel County. There was also the Hazel Green Institute in Wolfe County in the 14th Region, which closed in 1983.

 

When was Warren Central created? Interesting they are 13/13/14.

@DragonFire will maybe be able to clarify this. I've seen a couple different theories. I have Warren Central opening in 1969 as a consolidation of Alvaton and Warren County. Warren County High was also the Dragons (like Warren Central). However, Warren County High had a few different names - Rockfield, then South Warren, then Warren County in 1950. Because of those name changes, I give the consolidation of Warren County/Alvaton as the start of Warren Central.

66th all time. 20 district titles, 8 region championship, and 6 wins at the state tournament.

Thanks

 

I think we were runners up the first two years of the tourney...we're always runners-up :bag:

Warren Central opened in the fall of 1968, so its first basketball season was 1968/1969. They just completed their 48th season. That 13/13/14 clip means they have won a region (and district) title about once every 3.5 years. When you consider they didn't win their first of either until 1982 (when they won both), it becomes even more impressive, dropping down to once every 2.5 years. And that's with the current "drought" of three years. All while playing in a district that absolutely runs the region they're in (36 region titles out of last 46, including 15 straight).

 

Warren Central was a consolidation of Alvaton and Warren County. Alvaton I show as having first played basketball in the postseason in 1937. Not sure if that's when they were officially founded. Warren County was formed by consolidation of South Warren and Hadley in 1950. The original South Warren itself was a consolidation of Rockfield, Woodburn, and Richpond in 1943. I, like you, consider the start of Warren Central to be when that school was officially named as such. They do have trophies in the trophy case for Warren County, which is probably justified given that the building itself was exactly the same (the only thing that changed when Warren County opened, besides absorbing students, was that County was changed to Central on the front of the building). A school building with initials WCHS has stood on that spot on Morgantown Road since 1950.

 

Even if you added the accomplishments of Warren County, you wouldn't be adding much. A single district title is all they had, and they never won a region tournament, losing by a single point in the 1956 finals. If you added the sum total of their predecessors (Warren County, Alvaton, South Warren, Hadley, Rockfield, Richpond, Woodburn), you'd gain three region titles, four district titles, and a state tourney win from Woodburn, a district title apiece from Alvaton and Warren County, and that's it.

Thanks for the clarification, DF!

@gchs_uk9 where did Pulaski fall in line

@gchs_uk9 where did Pulaski fall in line

If I'm correct on the dates, Pulaski won 19 district titles (47th/48th District), 4 12th Region titles (79, 84, 86, 92), 6 games in the state tournament, and won state in 1986. That would give them 50 points if the formula is: District=1, Region=2, Wins at state=3, State Champions=5. Somerset had 54 points doing it this way. So if Somerset was 66th, then Pulaski would be in the 67-75 range just guessing.

This is good work @gchs_uk9
