FYI according to the KHSAA enrollment figures Male (one of the so called big 3) has a smaller male enrollment then 4 of the NKY 4A teams (Conner, Campbell, Ryle and Boone). In fact Male is listed as the 26th largest school based on male enrollemnt. Size doesn't seem to hamper them to badly.

KHSAA Male Student Enrollment History

 

Great. Now lets realign by male enrollment and play for a couple years and see if Male wins state year in and year out. I am sure they wouldn't mind since they wouldn't have to compete against Trinity and X every year for the title.

 

Look I am only offering an opinion for how I could see realignment working better than it does now. I don't care if you are private or public. The alignment should be based on the number of male or female enrollment. Again only my opinion.

Ryle has Highlands next year.

 

And I can't wait to see a great game. I believe its being played at Paul Brown Stadium.

It is

I have lived in three states other than Ky. in the past 15 or so years and have never seen an alignment that puts up schools with male enrollments in excess of 1000 against schools in the 700 range. Trinity and X 2-year average is double most NKY schools. To me it just doesn't make sense.

Maybe other states don't build new schools at the rate KY does. You can't penalize large schools like Trinity and St. X and even the larger public schools like Henderson County because they don't have the means to build additional schools. What would be the size of Boone Co and Conner if Ryle was not built? Henderson County is the largest or one of the largest public schools and they dress 35 players. Ryle is smaller and dressed a lot more and had a better team so do numbers mean all that much?

While I will agree Ryle is a relatively young program, Dixie, Connor and Boone are not. Name the last time Boone, Connor or Dixie won the State title. That's right they haven't. And to use Highlands as your example made me laugh. I put Cov Cath & Highlands in the same category as the Louisville big three. How many Boone, Ryle, Connor & Dixie kids play or have played at CC or Highlands? Plenty.

 

IMO unless things change all we will be able to continue to talk about is who can compete instead of how many times we would win titles.

If they play or have played at CC or Highlands then they are not or were NOT Boone , Ryle , Conner or Dixie kids . They are their parents or guardians kids or kids of whoever they live with when they go to high school .:thumb:

I guess you consider 17 state titles penalizing Trinity. If thats the case please penalize Ryle.:thumb:

 

As for Henderson they hand pick the 35 players they put uniforms on. That's there choice not KHSAA's.

 

Numbers do matter or do you suggest we have NCC or Ludlow play in 6-A.

That is what the new classifications are based on. Before you make complaints about how things should be changed, look up what the changes are first.

Seems like in Ohio a large school like Cin St. X enrollment 1111 plays in the same divison that 560 Cincinnati Glen Este plays in.

Don't forget that this game was played at the same time as one of the bigger Bengals games of the season. I know that there were alot of fans that would have made the trip down if it wasn't for this. I am one. In our section there was several people having the score texted to them during the game and complaining about the blowout with every update. I don't know if this kept away as many people as the rain did, but I'm sure the combination of the two were very damaging.

Ouch

At Ryle I believe. The PBS thing fell through

The best way KHSAA can fix the playoff problems is not adding more or separate classes, its having a school with 800 boys play similar size schools and the big three with 1200-1400 boys can play themselves over and over or play schools from Cincinnati, Indy, Columbus, Nashville, etc. who have open districts such as themselves.[QUOTE]

 

It's a good thing that successful programs like Highlands don't believe that way. I think Highlands is jumping 2 classes next year and they will be successful.

I guess because my screen name is RRD you guys believe I am talking about Ryle specifically. This is not sour grapes I am talking about all of NKY big schools. Do they work hard? Yes. Do they put time in the weight room? Yes. Do they give 110% with blood, sweat and tears? Yes. Do you believe your teams in Louisville win because they simpy work harder? That would be a joke. The numbers are off balance and will continue to be. Look at history. I will end this debate for now, but mark my words people on BGP will continue this conversation for years while I turn my interest towards watching my son on Saturdays.

Your son is transfering to CCH? Congrats on the move. jk
