I know we are a little less than a month from getting district info. I was just wondering if you know anyone that is moving up.

Im willing to bet that a couple 4a teams will petition to move to 5a next season!

For my understanding no one will be allowed to play up.

Funny you should say that. There are several teams who have already petitioned to move up. Guess what most of them have in common?

So far, these teams have asked to move up because of (ahem) geographical reasons

 

Boyle Co (4A to 5A)

Johnson Central (4A to 5A)

Lexington Catholic (4A to 5A)

Cooper (4A to 5A)

Harrison County (4A to 5A)

Greenwood (5A to 6A)

Ohio County (5A to 6A)

 

There is sure to be more before the Oct 18 BOC meeting when the KHSAA will begin to finalize everything.

Boyle County petitioned to move up? Interesting.

According to the Herald-Leader they did. I can't imagine they'll get approved considering Mercer County and Marion County are both going to be in 4A.

I can't either but I think with Catholic petitioning also they may attempt to keep their district intact. Looking at your proposal it would make more sense seeing as how you have Russell County and Taylor County in the Boyle district which are both at least 1 hour drives but the 30 minutes and less drives to Marion and Mercer don't help.

Catholic looks to have decent case. I'll be surprised if Boyle is approved.

I believe you are right. I don't think Boyle will get bumped up at all, but Catholic might. In all likelihood, I think Catholic and Boyle will both stay and will play with Marion, Mercer, and maybe Taylor. Russell County will likely get shifted west.

I think I'd rather drive to Russell County than Taylor County.

I thought Cooper was 6A.

Cooper was started as a 6A school but with this re-alignment they are using Cooper's first two years to place them. With Cooper's current enrollment though, they would be a 5A school.

4A.

Why is Boyle wanting to move up to 5A?

I have no idea. This was the first I have heard of it. I am sure despite the digging I'll do the standard reply will be geography reasons but my gut tells me because 5A looks easier. You can't help but think that and that is disappointing.

4A.

 

With their current school enrollment, Cooper would be a 5A school. They are currently listed as a 4A for next year because of numbers used from the first two years of the schools young life. Current enrollment would put Cooper at a 5A size.
