The Pawsats have lived in Maysville for as long as ive been here. Brad went to st. patrick elementary. The Settys moved here from Peebles Ohio because there mother took a job at the elementary school.

That media exposure that your referring to comes with having success in winning and having long standing tradition. I agree with Highfield, in a 6 county area, this county has more opportunities for work. (Most opportunities today come with qualifications. Whether a person has those or not could be a deciding factor in some jobs.)

 

Oh really, I thought it was who you knew.

and that never hurts as well....:sssh:

Pretty sure with all the corporations for example(Crounse,EPT,Federal Mogul) just to name a few.

Maysville has plenty of jobs

and that never hurts as well....:sssh:

 

Proably why I don't work in Maysville anyways, I've moved on to Cincy at the airport.

I heard last night that Baker will not be playing basketball at Scott High School this year.

Something I have always wondered and I'm sure you can give an answer PR.Why is MC's enrollment so low in their high school with all the people that live in the area?Just as you an others have mentioned it is a booming area with jobs etc.I'm over there about every weekend and can't figure where all the high school kids are?Seems like they should be a lot more.:confused:

At first blush, you would think that Mason County, with an estimated population of 17,271, would have more students in its high school than say Pendleton County, with its estimated population of 15,334 (population figures from the Kentucky State Data Center). Then why does Mason County High School have an average enrollment over the past 2 years of 816, while the figure for PCHS is 918 (enrollment figures courtesy of the KHSAA)?

 

There may be a number of reasons. First and foremost, there is a parochial school sitting in downtown Maysville. St. Patrick's has enrollment of approximately 110 students. Even so, that brings total HS enrollment in Mason County to just a hair over that in Pendleton County (assuming that there is not a parochial school in Pendleton); and you would think that there would be a few more Mason County kids enrolled somewhere.

 

Sometimes it is instructive to do a little research. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 25.2% of Pendleton County residents are under the age of 18. According to my math, there are about 3,864 Pendleton County residents under 18. The Census Bureau says that only 22.5% of Mason County residents are under the age of 18 (the Kentucky average is 23.5%); resulting in approximately 3,886 Mason County residents under 18.

 

Mason County residents under 18 years of age - 3,886

Pendleton County residents under 18 years of age - 3,864

A virtual dead heat.

 

Mason County + St. Pat enrollment - 926

Pendleton County enrollment - 918

Please see Papa below, he's done the homework!

Nice info papa. I have wondered that exact thing.

Thanks for the info.I guess where things get turned around in my thinking is look at the size of Maysville and what there is around the area and you can't compare Falmouth to that for sure.:thumb:

No doubt there is a significant difference between the city of Maysville and the city of Falmouth and the businesses that each city has. Maysville's population is about half that of the entire county, so much of the county's population is concentrated in Maysville. Falmouth, on the other hand, has a population of just a couple thousand.

 

For whatever reason, Mason County has a low percentage of young people when compared to the state as a whole; while Pendleton County's percentage is quite high. It would take someone who knows a lot more about demographic trends than me to explain it.

Good luck to Tyler and I hope he's found a home at Scott--He's a fine talent!!

 

It is now being reported on the Scott thread that Baker will not play this year. If this is accurate, this hurts Scott quite a bit.

Mason county does a better job of developing talent than any of the above mentioned communites/counties, Tom Browning's Boys Club and the YMCA benefit the Royals tremendously. Also, having the best basketball facility in the state outside of a few colleges helps as well, it's just like Kentucky basketball you have to put a priority on winning to win and Mason county does that better than anybody. I've said for years Pendleton county should compete for regional titles more often because 1) size of the county, stretches from the Ohio River to I-75 2) fan support, the best best fans in the 10th, 3) have a proud basketball history that goes back to Falmouth, Butler and Morgan days. The recent success of Pendleton was probably due in large part to a group of parents with talented sons that had a goal to get to a state tournament, probably not so much of the school system helping other than getting the perfect coach for the group.
