NEXT Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 The KHSAA sent out the re-alignment emails for basketball. 4 of the 5 15th proposals has Jenkins being added. The best one looks like this - 57th Johnson Central Paintsville Magoffin County Lawrence County 58th Allen Central Betsy Layne Prestonsburg Allen Central Piarist 59th Shelby Valley East Ridge Jenkins Pikeville 60th Belfry Pike Central Phelps Sheldon Clark Bold is teams moving Anyone else have more info or thoughts?
gold sunrise Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Is this for all regions or just the 15th? After the last re-alignment, thought it would be awhile before they did it again?
NEXT Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 Thats kinda what I am asking. They want to do away with 3 districts so I would say it is any region that has them
HDE Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 It's incredibly unfair to have three-team districts, and I'm very pleased the KHSAA is addressing the problem in the 15th. The proposal you mentioned would work, but I'd prefer Knott Central moving over as in the original plan, along with JBS if they are still participating. Even though Jenkins is certainly closer, I would prefer keeping Letcher Central and Jenkins together.
HSBallFan78 Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 They need to realign the 11th region. It's a shame so many good teams in the same districts and regions. Scott needs to move out to another region to balance things out.
sportsmaniac Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Where did this realignment information come from? Did all schools receive this?

Scott needs to move out to another region to balance things out. You don't balance regions on the quality of teams. It's geography, which is why they are called regions.
HDE Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 KCC was no where in the picture on the new one and it shouldn't be, way too far for travel. It didn't seem like it was very far from the Hindman exit to Allen Central.
NEXT Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 It didn't seem like it was very far from the Hindman exit to Allen Central. Its not. They want to move the least amount of team as possible, if you move them into that district, one has to come out. It would be a domino, 4 teams would have to move.
NEXT Posted March 19, 2008 Author Posted March 19, 2008 is this just talk is it a done deal Its up for proposal. They tried to move Sheldon Clark into the 60th last re-alignment, but they refused. This time if it passes they have no choice.
The Professor Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I believe Jenkins is about 30 minutes to Pikeville. Also, Knott County Central is very close to some of the Floyd County schools. Both those schools would fit in well with the 15th region.
jahearme Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I've heard the 11th and the 16th will be adding teams and the 10th region will be moving north. Can anyone confirm?

It wouldn't seem natural for them not to be in the 14th.:thumb:
