Why would private schools stay in KHSAA?

[CCH05]

Doing some quick analysis of past state champions from 1990 to 2004:

 

During the last 15 seasons with 60 state champions crowned, here are the numbers broken down.

 

4A

Trinity 5

St X 5

Male 3

Nelson Co and Geo Rogers Clark 1 each

 

3A

Highlands 6

Boyle Co 3 (to go with 2 2A titles)

CovCath 3

Paul Blazer, Bell Co and Bowling Green 1 each

 

2A

Danville 3 (to go with 2 1A titles)

Breathitt Co 3

Boyle Co 2 (to go with 3 3A titles)

Belfry 2

Mayfield 1 (to go 2 1A titles)

Ft. Knox, Bourbon Co, Caldwell Co, and Bardstown 1 each

 

1A

Beechwood 8

Danville 3 (to go with 3 2A titles)

Mayfield 2 (to go with 1 2A title)

Middlesboro and Russelville 1 each

 

Now you could say that 3 private schools won 13 titles out of 60, which are the only 3 private schools to win titles in those years. You could also say that 2 public schools won 14 of 60. You could also say that no private schools won any 1A or 2A titles of 60. You say that there just is no parity in KHSAA football. Which does not make it unique among the rest of the 49 states. Let's just play football.

Good point and nice post. Now all that has to happen is to get the public schools in 4A to raise the level of their program as Highlands and Beechwood has done and this debate is history. However, I guess it easlier to lower the level for them,than it is to raise it. I am with you let's just play football. :thumb:
