Are we forgetting possibly the biggest debate? Highlands won their 17th state title, while Trinity won their 18th - correct me if I'm wrong. Who has the best program in KY history - Highlands or Trinity?

 

Chew on that for a while!

 

In history? Highlands. Second in wins all time only to Male. Currently you have to go with Trinity the way they've dominated the past several years.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

 

Highlands beat Lex Cath didnt they?

 

I think he is referring to you having Henry Clay on your list. Catholic is the best team in Lexington.

No disrespect to the great football teams throughout the bluegrass. But why can't everyone just admit that the Highlands Bluebirds was the best high school football in the state this year?

 

Well for one, I am not willing to concede such a point.

I will tell you why I believe Highlands is the BEST. Trinity if you go by male enrollment is playing in the class where they belong. If their were larger schools in the state and Trinity was playing against them , then you might have an argument. But Trinity should win 6A because they are playing with school of equal size. Highlands on the other hand , as everyone knows, is playing up 2 classes. They are playing against schools with twice the male enrollment. Hence that many more athletes to choose from. Larger teams two platoon. Do you see what I'm getting at here?

 

Normally I would agree with that. Buy you guys, like us have a family and tradition of playing for you, while also enjoying an open enrollment enviroment. While you may not have an abundance of males in your school. Your team is not anywhere close to being short on numbers.

....there are several teams in Ky playing up in class. It's not that uncommon and is based on demographics and availability. The KHSAA doesn't automatically allow every team who requests to move up do so.

 

To the best of my knowledge, the several of which you speak would consist of TWO...CovCath up one...Highlands up two. It is VERY uncommon.

Exactly, weren't Highlands and CovCath the only ones that wanted to play up. Teams don't just play up for the heck of it. I know the last thing Trinity wants is Highlands playing 3a. You wouldn't be able to catch our title run!!!

I thought that Somerset is playing up a class as well. One of those Briar Bunnies can correct me but I think they were allowed to move up one as well. I thought there were about 5 teams allowed to move up. What is the enrollment at Highlands? Cov Cath? I thought Cov Cath was where their enrollment was and that Highlands was allowed to move up one class into theirs so that district could stay in tact.

 

Just wondering.

In Western ky alone, McLean Co and Russellville played up, Somerset played up, as well. There's probably more i'm not aware of. So, no, its not just CC and Highlands I speak of...

Not sure of actual enrollment but HHS was supposed to be 3A this year and CCH was Supposed to be 4A.

Still, it doesn't hurt to start out with a 1000 more boys in the potential pool.

From MaxPreps:

 

Teams are allowed to play up a class, and 11 asked to do so. Six of them – Covington Catholic, Fort Thomas Highlands, Madisonville, McLean County, Russellville, and Somerset – were all approved to move up.

When you say "past several years" do you mean 40? Trinity has dominated the state since 1968. No other school can match Trinity's success for the past 40 years.

UGH!!!

You might want to rethink that.

What is their record over the past 40 years?
