I do not know many people out there assossiated with schools classified in the All "A" that dislike the tournament. It is a special tournament that many people get to enjoy every year. It something to shoot for as a smaller school. DeSales had a good year this year. As far as their elligability, idk, but I have not heard their name associated with the All A state tournament in years. Was this their first year of elligabilty?

 

Given the weak offerings from the Louisville regions historically in the All A, I can't imagine this wasn't their first year eligible. DeSales has had some teams in recent years that were much better than what came out of their All A region.

There is no way Desales should be in the All "A" they have over 500 boy's in that school.

I had to do some digging to find it but the enrollment at DeSales is 284, 9-12.

 

Your enrollment qualification for the All "A" is based on your 10-12 enrollment.

Why only 10-12?

Why only 10-12?

 

That's the way they do it.

How do you arrive at that enrollment figure?

 

I believe DeSales was listed as having 569 students in the program.

286>500 how and in what mathematical understanding?

 

If you are going by numbers online, for football classification purposes being a single gender school DeSales has their enrollment numbers doubled. Is that the source of the confusion?

 

 

Where was it listed that 286>500? :idunno:

 

DeSales' enrollment based on the program numbers was around 570. Given that DeSales' is an all boy school, they would clearly have the advantage over a co-ed school with say 535 students. They have roughly double the talent pool from which to pull athletes. This logic seems very clear to me, but for some reason, others are struggling to understand.

If that is the legitimate enrollment, then I see no cause for debate. However, every enrollment number I saw on the school in my limited research had it listed as over 500 students.

 

Is it possible they had a drastic reduction in enrollment this year, making them eligible?

Well the ACTUAL enrollment at DeSales is 286 students, all male. For Football classification purposes they double the enrollment of single gender schools like DeSales. As such 286 x 2=572. I understand that in basketball this isn't the kind of discussion that comes along very often since there really is no classification. However the original premise of the All "A" tournament, at least to my limited understanding, was to use the football classifications to identify the smaller schools and let them compete for their own "title" since the bigger schools tend to dominate the Sweet 16. As class A is the smallest class in football it was the logical starting point.

 

Take for example MY school, Trinity. We have 1,381 students, for classification purposes in football that number is doubled to 2,762 students because we are an all male school we don't HAVE over 2,000 students in the school those numbers are inflated for football classification.

From the All"A" program.

Look at the column entitled "ENROBOYS" that is the actual enrollment number before adjustment.

From the All"A" program.

 

 

In which case they need to do better research next time.

Brossart's enrollment in the program was 558. Our actual enrollment is 388 9-12 co-ed.

 

Don't know where the "A" committee came up with the numbers posted in the "A" State program.

Why only 10-12?

 

That's the way they do it.

 

To expand upon this, when the tournament started in Northern Ky back in the day, most of the smaller high schools were only 10-12, with freshman still with the middle schools. At least, that's the way I always understood it.

So, just to make sure I understand:

 

Once again, this issue arises because of misinformation?

 

It really bothers me that whomever put out that misinformation is probably never going to understand or know what a bruhaha his/her mistake is going to cause. :irked:

Its all JUCK..... GET IT GONE ,Someone must be making some good amount to be putting this on ..
