Again, it isn't the distance. It's the fact that the districts were created with the X-T pairing in mind. That's wrong.

 

You keep saying that but you continue to use distance as your argument.

I think it's safe to say that the alignment the Board of Control approves later this month will be somewhat different ...

Would we be in agreement that, geographically speaking, the best alignment would be this?

 

District 3 ... Butler, Pleasure Ridge Park, Manual, Southern

District 4 ... St. Xavier, Male, Fern Creek, Seneca

District 5 ... Trinity, Eastern, Ballard, Oldham County

 

Or is the best move to switch Southern and Male in the above alignment?

 

I don't think that's the best alignment, but it's still better than the current proposal.

No, the INEFFICIENCY is what I'm illustrating. The raw distances are not my concern, that would be comically petty to argue over a few miles difference. It's that a less efficient system was created deliberately to pair X and T.

For Southern's sake, I say we leave it as you outline it.

Actually, this one is better than the one you proposed first, but still less efficient that the districts that I propose.

And for the record, I hope everyone notices that I am not championing a proposal where Manual is in a district without any of the other three.

I just now saw the one you proposed ... I have no problem with that one, either.

 

I think we all agree that Trinity, Ballard, Eastern and Oldham County should be together ... it's Districts 3 and 4 that have various possibilities.

I made my own map. As you can tell, I'm not an artist.

Actually, I would disagree ... I would think that all of northern Kentucky and the Lexington area would love the proposed alignment.

If you're saying that you don't care, why comment?

I would note that I intended it to be tongue-in-cheek. No doubt it has implications outside of Louisville. However, I think the statement I read yesterday, something along the lines of an announcement that will send shockwaves across the state, was a bit much. I'm just poking a little fun at it. Certainly there are others with some interest in this, but there are a lot of people outside of Louisville who could care less. When I hear shockwaves across the state, I think it should affect all, not just Louisville and a few others in 6A who think they might get a runner-up trophy now.

The man said if they change what we brought about it wouldn't hurt my feelings. Talking about the BOC on October 18th. This is just his proposal.

Other districts in other classes have schools traveling more than two hours for district games.

Yes, but how many of those teams are passing non-district schools in their class to get to those two hour drives?
