Final. 

Ouch!

Cordia has eight girls on their roster; four of them are 8th graders. Again this season we're going to see "All A" size schools suffer some "bad" losses. Many of them have rosters with fewer than 12 players and a higher percentage of middle schoolers. 

Some of the teams with running clock losses to date:

School | Roster # | Fr.-8th-7th | '23/'24 W-L

Caverna | 15 | 1-0-3 | 3-26

St. Patrick | 11 | 0-2-3 | 2-15

Community Christian| 12 | 2-6-1 | 14-16

Pineville | 11 | 2-4-0 | 20-10

Cordia | 8 | 0-4-0 | 2-23

Heritage Christian | 9 | 4-4-0 | 1-18

Williamstown | 11 | 4-3-1 | 6-22

Ft. Knox | 12 | 2-2-2  ∆ Of note: Lost three SR. Only four players return from last year's 0-20 team - a SR, two SO, and an 8TH grader.

Fulton City | 9 | 3-0-0 | 0-20

Kentucky School f/t Deaf | 9 | 0-0-2 | 0-12

Jenkins | 11 | 2-1-1 | 9-22

Berea | 17 | 5-5-3 | 16-15 

Three days into the girls' season and we already have a minimum of 17 running clock games (I'm only counting 40/+ point win margins here). Four of those are 70/+ points.

There are also 17 games in which the loser scored fewer than 20 points - five of those, 10 or less.

• Examples:

Campbellsville 91 Caverna 15. (Caverna beat Ft. Knox the following night 63 - 17).

Franklin County 67 Henry Clay 18.

LKY Home School 69 Iroquois 14.

McCracken Co. 91 Community Christian 14.

Butler 78 Jeffersontown 8.

Clay Co. 82 Cordia 8.

South Haven Christian (TN) 71 Heritage Christian 3.

Bellevue 56 Williamstown 4.

Somerset Christian 61 Kentucky School for the Deaf 6. 

• Larger schools aren't exempt from similar participation issues: 

Expect the same results as in many, many seasons past.

*Puts on Captain Obvious hat* The gulf amongst teams in terms of age/playing experience is vast.
