gbballfan21 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 This is a serious question, what has happened to Frankfort? They used to always field a competitive team, and had some very good teams. I’m not taking a shot at them, I’m just curious why have they dipped so far in the last few years? Are they losing players to FC that they used to be able to keep at Frankfort? They went from battling Beechwood and even beating them one year, to getting beat by Eminence. Seems like a really fast free fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLYGUY Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Fhs has several kids from FC on the roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 The first thing I think about in Frankfort's downturn is the numbers. They always had smaller roster numbers but the roster seems to be very thin in the numbers in recent times. To the extent that they are relying on freshmen to get a varsity team on the field.

We were always between 25-30 when I was there, and those were on "good" turnout years. According to the roster on KHSAA, they had 32 last year, so that sounds about right.

There were some that joined and quit throughout the four years, but we graduated 9 of us. Looks like they also had 9 freshmen last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like for 3 or 4 years they were struggling to get 20 upperclassmen on their roster which I thought was lower then normal. It is hard to have success with 20 or less upper classmen.

That's probably true, but it's not really too far from the normal we are used to. Most guys play both ways at Frankfort, it's always been that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Things Kentucky Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Roster and actual game dressed kids can differ greatly we were remember last year or a few years ago the team picture looked like slim pickings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breds740 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Same problem at Murray, most residential areas lay outside the city school district, whatever kids transfer in from out of district that same number must transfer out, not sure if this is true throughout the rest of the state but that is how Murray and Calloway have it set up, has to do with money.

Similar at Frankfort in that the district itself is very small and a lot of the talent in town goes to one of the county schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
