OK elite programs:

 

 

Highlands

Beechwood

NCC

CovCath

 

These programs have done it over the years and it different eras.

 

 

This year maybe the term should be who has played at or above their potential............For example Dayton......you can't say an elite program but you can say an "elite" season. Two years ago Bellevue had an "elite" season. Last year I feel Dayton had an "elite" season as well. Ludlow has had 2 elite seasons in the past 4 years. None of these are elite programs as they tend to "fall quickly" due to being such small schools and the cyclical nature of the talent.

Also I feel Ryle had an "elite" season last year but they are not an elite program.

 

Well stated. :thumb: I guess we could say that SK had an "elite" freshman season this year.

Relax Francis

 

I think you need to go back and see who tdy's really rooting for.

 

to quote the movie "Stripes" accurately, its "Lighten up Francis!" But thanks for calming me down, I needed that. I just get a little worked up when someone tries to make a dynasty out of one good season.

Here are some state numbers: Out of 221 schools listed by number of boys reported this yr, Beechwood is 195th(169 boys), Ludlow 200th(158 boys), Dayton 204th(147 boys) and Bellevue 207th(140 boys). My point here is that these are all small schools, lets quit using this as an excuse. Beechwood competes every yr w/low numbers. I just get tired of hearing "we are a small school," so what, play the game and do things to get better.:fire:

I want to know how many boys Highlands has. Then tell me what the cut off is for 3, 4, and 5A. I think that could silence some critics that say the small schools can't do it. I would say that Highlands does not have over 500 boys, maybe around 400.

Isn't that what Highlands has done 16 times.:laugh::laugh:

But when they loose to a bigger school we hear about how the other team should win because they are a bigger school. That keeps them from being on the same level as Highlands in my opinion.

and I agree but they don't get beat very often by the BIGGER schools.

That is true. Maybe its just that Highlands is so successful, being as they ARE 5th in the country for most wins ever, WE ARE THE TEAM THAT EVERYONE LOVES TO HATE! It's OK, no hard feelings. To quote, " Don't hate the playa, hate the game." Instead of getting so upset about how the Kingdom is run, try and dethrone the king.

Didn't find the cut off numbers but HHS reported having 395 boys. Conner has the most w/821.

Does anyone have the breakdown of how many boys determine which division you play in and how many Highlands have? Just curious.

What are the cutoff numbers for each division? Think its in KHSAA website somewhere?

Good luck finding it, I looked in tournament rules where it has the teams listed by class but no numbers.

Man, that is rough that we gotta dig so far for something that should be so obvious!!!!!!!

I believe, they are listed somewhere.

The number under the "C6" header shows what class each school is in.
