Yes, but the article is suggesting figures based on total enrollment.

 

That will make it look alot different then so it will be hard to look at that way.

As 3wishes said, Ernst did not use male enrollment to break this down. If you use male enrollment for example, Hazard and Ludlow will drop to 1A and Dayton and Phelps go up to 2A.

 

I think the deal breaker in this plan may be travel for 1A schools. Although with a class that small, you don't need to play district games so that could remove the travel burden. Then the challenge may be scheduling for those small schools.

 

At first blush, I don't like it. I would like to hear from the 1A schools under this proposal ... Do you like it? Would you like to win a state title in a 16 team class? I don't think I would like that if I were one of those small schools.

If I were a class A school I wouldn't like the traveling either.

The new schools in 2010 will bring a long delay in the announcement of classifications.

This is the plan that Julian Tackett is pushing for. I know that for a fact and since he is the most influencial person in high school administration I would say there is a good chance that it passes.

 

Also I believe that the class A would be split into 4 4 team districts and played at a different site than the other championships. Which in my opinion is good because its sad to see a 1A crowd in A big stadium. This i do not know about though.

 

Here is what I think that class A will look like.

District 1- Fulton county, Fulton city, Louisville HC, Eminence

District 2- Bellevue, Dayton, Fairview, Paintsville

District 3- Paris, Frankfort, Campbellsville, and Williamsburg

District 4- Phelps, Harlan, Jenkins, Pineville

 

District 1 is tough allignment.. Makes me wish that Fulton city and Fulton Co would consolidate and then alignment would be better

 

Interesting.

Edit--based on bad information that I was getting ready to provide!

One would think they would scrap districts for the two sixteen team classes.

Corbin, Paducah Tilghman, Mason County, CAL

Have to disagree, the title would come down to Ft. Thomas, Bell, and Belfry with those 3 winning 95% of the time............

I believe the super class will stay, but the bottom 16 will not happen. IMO, The bottom 5 will be evenly distributed. I also think teams will be allowed to move up simply based on the past.

You asked for contenders, not winners.

 

And Ft. Thomas has down years where they aren't loaded with supreme talent.

I messed up and added Bell Co. too.

He added Bell County to a list in 3A that we were discussing.
