Make St. X and Trinity play in the semi-finals and not allow them to ever meet in the championship game. They always sell out regular season but from what I hear they dont travel out of Louisville very well, especially according to some who went to Bowling Green for the championship games.

This at least gives another team a chance to at least make it to the title game and allow for fans to come and spark some excitement. Quit aking it about the money.

Yeah give an inferior team a pass to the state championship. Why would we want the two best teams to meet in the championship game?:lol:

I have to admit that is crazy, and how many concessions does the KHSAA have to make to every other 6A team not named X or Trinity.

Well I guess everyone else in 6A is inferior to ST X AND TRINITY. Why should a team have to play Trinity in the semis and ST X in the finals. How fair is that. When both get to play inferior teams in the playoffs. Better yet let them play in Indiana, Louisville is that color of red anyway.

Here is a simple fact. 6A is the only class where there are schools that double the male enrollment of other schools competing in the same class. You can debate whose fault this is or why it occurs, but it is a fact.

I would suggest this solution put St. Xavier and Trinity in their own district and if that dosn't work you could add maybe Male and/or Ballard and/or Manual and/or what ever other team out of Jefferson County wins too much. :idunno:

We could go to a 7A class and teams that win too much could be put in this class. The class would change each year by putting in the winners of other classes and taking out the losers in the new 7A class.

I have a question that may lead to a solution, What amount of resources, time, money, community involvement, does it take to develop a winning football team?

Does a greater empahsis on football prowess or other athletic endeavors for that matter positively or negatively affect academics?

Maybe with more emphasis on football/athletics, to help develop a sense of school pride and involvement, the academics benefit. From the latest reports, it could not hurt.

I don't see where this agrgument holds water in the last few years. There have been schools from other areas of the state beat 6A teams in Jefferson county that are not named T or X in this time period. Frankly, I don't see the Manual and Ballard argument at all, and unless Male has several D1 players, they are usually nowhere close to X or T either.

Not true. The same premise also applies in Class A.

All schools in 6A not named X or T need to look at the amount of resources, time, money, community involvement, and preparation that goes into those 2 programs. If you want to win 6A you have to be willing to match all of those areas. Some people in coaching and administrative positions are simply not willing to do what it takes.

From the outside looking in it seems that coach Jackson at Ballard and coach Warner at Ryle are among those trying to do those things and stop making excuses.

I realized that as soon as I posted it. However, the same applies to A. The schools with those number disadvantages are normally not competative at the state level. You can alsot look at real numbers. Who has a greater advantage, a school with 200 boys over a school with 100, or a school with 1400 over a school with 700?

So what is your solution?

If we keep six classes my solution is 16 teams in 6A, 16 teams in 1A, and then divide the rest among the other four classes.

I can't speak for any other 6A school but for Henderson it all comes down to the lack of support. From the community and from the administration. If nothing changes Henderson won't some much as win another regional title much less compete for state.

So what is your solution?

 

I don't have one. Other states, such as Ohio and Indy, don't follow the unwritten rule of a new school being built every time a population gets so high. This leads to their classes being played under much more even competition between privates, publics, and schools with open enrollment. Over all, T and X have 6a enrollment. The only problem is that there aren't many other schools in this state that have 6a enrollment.
