NEXT Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Thats right, its not about Trinity, X, football, or any girls sport, its all about Lex. Cath. I got a little inside info that it all boils down to them. The evidence was there a few years ago to do some major things to them and it didn't happen because Stout wouldn't pull the trigger and now the public schools are forcing their hand.

woodsrider Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Yea, the public schools are against all private schools because of Lexington Catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEXT Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 You can take this serious or not. This is from probably the most reliable source that anyone on BGP could possible have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 You can take this serious or not. This is from probably the most reliable source that anyone on BGP could possible have. Do you think this is a revelation????? Have you been hibernating for the past ten-fifteen years????? :confused: Lexcath is certainly not the ONLY school, public or private to stretch the rules and take advantage of their private (or open enrollment) status. They just were probably the first small snowball that started rolling down the hill. When it worked for them others took note and joined ranks leading up to the whole thing blowing up this week. This whole thing boils down to EVERYONE (publics and privates) wanting the KHSAA to do the enforcement job that they were created to do. Furthermore, if each superintendent of each school district (public and private) would police his/her own programs and do the right thing, then this whole thing would become a non-issue, instead of seeing how far they can stretch the rules, how much they can get away with, and how much advantage they can gain athletically through their private or "open enrollment" status. But then if I really expect that to happen, I must be dreaming too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greatest fan Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Look at class A football. 2 or 3 high quality players can make a big difference where the enrollment numbers are small and public schools are forced to play with the boys they have on hand. Just make it fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlbdonn Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Yeah look how bad Danville, Mayfield , Pikeville and Beechwood have had it , being forced to play with the boys they have on hand . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make it fair. Again, there is not a lot of thought behind some of these comments. I like how KytmcNCC put this. Seriously, the only private school in that division that really stands a chance is NCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westsider Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 In my view, there are seven schools that have contributed greatly toward this widespread disdain for private schools ... Trinity, St. Xavier, Sacred Heart, Assumption, Lexington Catholic, Owensboro Catholic and University Heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDERTHEBRIDGE Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 It depends on how it was achieved I guess. Agreed, problem is, no one has brought forth hard evidence to say the teams are cheating to get their wins. By the way, this has to be a flawed thread, speaking to NEXT. Either what you mean is that Lexington Catholic is the school which first got the private/public debate rolling or else I disagree with this all being about Lexington Catholic. Public schools voting on this proposal in Western Ky hardly care about how Lex Cath is affecting them just as do the schools in Nky, Eastern Ky, and even a lot of the Louisville schools. So yes, Lexington Catholic might have been one of the key programs to bring about all that has occurred, but I hardly think they are the sole purpose for such heavy support. Also, im still interested to know what all evidence existed a few years ago to bust Lex Cath, that isn't there now. People keep saying the evidence exists but they seem to not be able to provide it when called upon for it. (NEXT, this isn't to call you out, I understand here that it wouldn't be right even if you knew the evidence to have you bring it out, im speaking more in general) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
