Great info ATLCat! It's settled then...NKY clearly has the best football. That was easy! LOL :popcorn: JK guys. Nice to see some of the metrics though.

Combined Hardware Totals:

LOU- 79 Regional Championships, 43 State Finals, 26 State Champs

NKY- 52 Regional Championships, 35 State Finals, 19 State Champs

WKY- 74 Regional Championships, 35 State Finals, 16 State Champs

CKY- 54 Regional Championships, 25 State Finals, 14 State Champs

EKY- 54 Regional Championships, 24 State Finals, 12 State Champs

SKY- 39 Regional Championships, 14 State Finals, 1 State Champ

 

For sake of argument... excluding the 6A/4A Pre-2007

 

LOU METRO- 42 Regional Championships, 17 State Finals, 10 State Champs

I have another fun round of metrics but I will save that for later.

Which region had the most amount of schools win a state title, appearances and regional championships? I'm assuming at the title mark Louisville's number is dominated by T and Central. NKY is Highlands, NCC and Beechwood.

Just a curious which regions have had more balance and which ones are more too heavy.

Good work, @ATLCat. As soon as I looked at the thread, I thought it would be Louisville hands down but was wondering if there'd be some statistics that would show it wasn't as lopsided as it seemed.

Which region had the most amount of schools win a state title, appearances and regional championships? I'm assuming at the title mark Louisville's number is dominated by T and Central. NKY is Highlands, NCC and Beechwood.

Just a curious which regions have had more balance and which ones are more too heavy.

 

See post #33 above

 

If you take away the largest school classification (which let's be honest is a HUGE ask since Louisville/Jefferson County has a great number of their schools in this division) then LOU falls only above SKY in terms of production.

 

It cannot be stated enough though that this is a major leap to remove those large schools, but it is a number to ponder on.

Another metric which I may be willing to do is to see how eliminating the main "bread winner" in each Region would impact numbers.

 

For example:

WKY- Omit Mayfield

NKY- Omit Highlands

LOU- Omit Trinity

EKY- Omit Belfry

CKY- Omit Danville or Boyle County (I think it is Danville since 2000...but not positive)

SKY- Omit Corbin or Pulaski County (Think it is Corbin... once again not sure)

 

I will probably figure this up out of curiosity. I did Belfry and the effect it has on EKY's numbers is substantial

I guess I should have clarified I would like to see how many different schools had championships from each region since 2000. I answered it on my own to save you some trouble haha

 

LOU-8

EKY-7

CKY-6

WKY-5

NKY-5

SKY-1

Taking out Trinity, Highlands, Mayfield, Boyle co and belfry the state titles for each region looks like this:

 

LOU-14

NKY-10

WKY-10

CKY-8

EKY-6

SKY-1

After reviewing all the metrics available all I know so far is LOU is producing the best football and SKY is not. 2-4 just depend on what you value.
