I can’t imagine that their enrollment is shrinking. A Lexington public school playing in 5A doesn’t make sense to me.

 

By the way, they are destroying teams! Do y’all think they are top 3 in the state? Male looks tough and so do a few other teams, such as Boyle Co, etc.

Cov Cath is also playing really well. Forgot to mention them.

Cov Cath is the best team in the state right now.

Yeah I’d say Cov Cath is right at the top along with Male.

They are definitely a solid #2 behind Male.

 

But back to the subject. I'm not sure why Frederick Douglass is moving down a class. It will definitely make things interesting in 5A. Especially if they play like they are this year.

Well that district is going to make some people scratch their heads. It will include

Fredrick Douglas

Scott Co

Great Crossing

Montgomery Co

Grant Co

 

So two of the top 6A schools will be in a 5A district. I’ve heard that Scott Co is allowing players to decide to stay at Scott Co or go to Great Crossing. The KHSAA figured the enrollment for those two schools off a straight split on male enrollment. Past Fredrick Douglas and Scott Co it is going to be brutal for the other three schools for district play.

:lol2: :lol2:

If I was in charge at Fredrick Douglass and I was able to move down to 5A the next four years I would jump on the opportunity.

That looks like a meat grinder!

I’m a Montgomery Co fan. I wish we were allowed to voluntarily move up a class. 6A district would be much easier.

That looks like a meat grinder!

Add to that I believe the 3rd and 4th place teams in that district get to go to Cov Cath and HHS in the first round of the playoffs

Brutal

That's my thinking. Frederick Douglass in 5A would make things very very interesting.

I don’t know but their district will be tough as nails.

Reading the enrollment reports from the 2017-18 school year reads that they actually only have roughly 900 kids which would place them as a middle of the pack (enrollment wise) 4A school. Unless they made a sudden jump like South Warren when they went from 3A to 5A in 2 years, I can’t imagine that figure is far off their current enrollment.
