Plato Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Montgomery Co. High (1250 kids) has only one feeder program - McNabb Middle School. I think it is a terrible disadvantage (athletically) for a school this big to only have one feeder program.... as 2 middle schools = 10 starters coming to the frosh program. Just wondering what other situations are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering what other situations are... No students attend Montgomery County under KRS 157 (reciprocal agreements) from Bath, Bourbon, Clark, Nicholas, Menifee or Powell Counties?

Big Slick Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I am pretty sure a lot of 16th teams have only 1 middle school team; Elliott, Raceland, Fairview, Lewis, West Carter , East Carter, Bath Co. Menifee Co., Russell, Fleming. Greenup I think has 2, don't know about Ashland or Boyd or Rowan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms Liberty Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I think that Pike co has 5 middle schools all with different High Schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Professor Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Owsley has a junior high (7th and 8th grades). We don't have a middle school. Most of the counties around us have just one middle school...Lee, Jackson, Clay, Breathitt. Perry, however, has about 9 schools that are grades K-8, but no middle school. Their county basketball games and tournaments have large crowds. I think having so many different teams feeding into Perry Central is a big advantage because many more kids are getting playing time and experience before entering high school.

spindoc Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Many Ashlanders say that the consolidation into only one middle school has hurt the basketball program as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEXT Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I think that Pike co has 5 middle schools all with different High Schools. Belfry at one time had 7 schools feed into it no only Belfry Middle. Belfry - Belfry Middle Phelps - Phelps Middle East Ridge - Millard, Elkhorn City, and Feds Creek Shelby Valley - Dorton and Virgie Pike County Central - Johns Creek, Mullins, and Kimper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plato Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 You're not suggesting that school systems should build more middle schools just to help their HS athletic programs are you? I was thinking that with 1000 + middle school students, more than 15 should have the opportunity to play basketball in a competitive situation. If that happens to help the high school program, that's ok too:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoops Yoda Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Scott County has 3 public middle schools that feed the one high school. There is also a Catholic school that goes K-8... so 4 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
