Maybe Northern Kentucky should build a bigger all boys school than CovCath...

It sounds to me as if open enrollment is the issue. Not the fact that we "harvest" said talent.

 

I'm glad it seems as though you've read most of what I had to say, but really it comes down to the first sentence. While open enrollment(being able to take kids from said area, etc etc all play a part) that entire post was just about Kenton County, which is a fraction of the size of what Trinity pulls fromand I'm saying just Louisville). This is also what we've been saying for years and I think you may actually be starting to see it.

Maybe they shouldn't have to, because it's not just NKY 6A struggling.......

That would be my knee-jerk first guess. And when you say "we", I'm assuming that you are referring to Trinity and not Louisville-area schools as a whole.

 

And while NKY 6A football is admittedly no great shakes this year; the same could be said of Louisville-area 6A ball (with the exception of an outlier or two). My guess is that the two areas would be competitive with each other. I'm thinking that, for example, Dixie and Campbell County (both 0-3) would match up fairly well with Seneca and Southern.

Fans like yourself are why people support two separate divisions in high school football, private and public. Humility goes a long way.

Why is that? What did I say so bad? When is calling a spade, a spade so brash? Ask our very own Guru about me, if you would.

So...at the end of the day, you guys are happier with the current standing of your situation, then if you could win the title? Is that right?

 

That's certainly an interesting spin you put on my point about the satisfaction level of the education opportunities in the public school system in NKY.

It's a numbers game.

 

Keep in mind I had a public school education, but after looking up enrollment (9-12) numbers in the state, here are the totals and averages

 

Total enrollment of male students (not doubled, total)

Louisville - 16,586

NKY - 8,376

 

Publics

Louisville - 12,882 (Avg. - 644 per school)

NKY - 7,229 (Avg. 451)

 

Privates

Louisville - 3,704 (617 avg.)

NKY - 1,147 (286 avg.)

 

 

When you have a larger pool to pick from, you have a better shot at getting more and better players

So that's the answer? More kids, and you'll win more games? How does Highlands do it?

Look, I know I am sounding like a chest pounding arse here, but this argument gets tired. There is a sentiment that because down here in Louisville we do things different, the results would be so. I am not so sure.

 

Duly. F. Noted.

This is an honest question, as I don't know the answer. How do the academics compare between NKY and Louisville? Which ones perform better statistically. Again, I really don't know the answer.

Are you new to BGP? We've talked about this 1,000 times including about one month ago.

It's irrelevant to the discussion.

 

You asked why T wins more than NKY 6A schools. I gave you the obvious answers. The "whys" are obvious and have been beaten to death.

I didn't ask why we win. I know the answer. I was asking why NKY can't.

Highlands is the exception and not the rule. If I told you to go find me the best 10 looking women and give you the option of looking in Louisville or Radcliff, which will you choose? For those numbers, there are 26 Louisville schools splitting 16,586 male students. There are 20 NKY schools splitting their 8,376.

Seems to me that NKy while never winning a large school state title, seems to win a lot of the other divisional state titles in football!

 

Seems year in and year out, NKy HS seem to win more KHSAA State Football Titles, than Jefferson County schools do!

It's not that easy. 1 - we should dominate in basketball as well. 2 - we don't really know the number of kids wanting to play football. 3 - why aren't the other Louisville schools dominating? Central could easily be the 2nd or 3rd best team in Louisville this year, and their enrollment is low.
