You may be right. I'm just looking back at post and most say that they will continue to serve their areas. You look at Lex Cath and they serve all the way to Middlesboro. Many have said, on here, that they will continue to do that. I don't know that for a fact. I just think that the private schools would remain open, especially the football playing ones.

LBBC has a great idea, have you went any further with this ? Post a new thread if you would and see who folks think would join open class and how they think this may work. I know that the KHSAA folks take a quick peep @ this on occasion.

I understand that. Privates will never accept boundaries, so they would stay in the open class, I believe all privates would. So others could join them so they would have enough to play.It would be interesting to see who would elect to join them. I think that it is a wonderful plan, the more I look at it and think about it.:thumb:

To my understanding Cov.Cath has 5A numbers and just can't bounce back. Highlands wants to play with them then they will also stay. Highlands posters can clarify. I believe they are there for a while and will only go up in numbers.

I believe that you are right in that some would move, but maybe, not as many as you would think. Simply because of economics. I also wonder why those you mentioned would change what they they are doing and go to a closed district. Why would they do anything different than they do now. As many have stated private schools would not change, period. Why would Highlands? I do understand what you are saying. I just don't think it fall into the category.

Bell has a tremendous kid and a true weapon in Merrick. Wish him the best in his final year.

I can see them winning the district 1st year in........after that things get tuff.

HDE also Highlands, Cov Cath......ect.......so......

Best of luck to Jennifer Hilton and Kevin Hembree in the All A Classic. They will be representing the 13th region.

Thats why we have no rules or policies in sports.

The foul situation is due to one team in a zone and the other is playing man to man. I thought is was a very well called game and I don't have a dog in the fight and could care less who wins.

Thank you.

I completely agree with that and understand it. I was asking where this started? I don't believe that a school board said we are going to take this much of an area ect......I believe that someone set these to start with. I would think the Ky. Department of ED.?

Why does the state not just send the money there then? Who set them to start with? I would believe that the Ky. Department of Ed. determined zones with ADA moneies?

OK , however seems to me someone had to set these other than a school board. If there is an disagreement who solves this? Why not just incompass what you want as a board?

Meaning as an institution we are resposible for educating these students? ADA money for these zoned students? Just looking at what ladiebballcoach posted and I do believe he/she is versed in this.

Does the state not set educational boundaries?

Anyone?

Looks like a lot of people owe this man an apology. It looks like he takes full responsibility for his statements and cartoon.

"Depends on how you are viewing boundaries." "State sets boundaries in which the school is responsible for educating those students within those boundaries unless the parents remove the student from the district by providing them with an alternative education choice, such as private schools or homeschooling." "A local school district could choose to extend those boundaries beyond what the state requires." Quote from ladiesbballcoach in another thread. Interesting who really does set the boundaries. Education and athletic boundaries should be the same.

I guess this can apply to most things we here about private schools as well. Where there is smoke, there is fire. OK, Now I'm finished.

I would love to have 27% new roster next year. When it made of some of the best in the area. Guess what we have 100% from Bell. I'm done with privates justification of their programs. It won't be long, a split is comming.

As nice as it is to talk with you, we continue to go in circles. I respect your point of view, but don't agree with it. It simply boils down to boundries and aid with me along with the recruiting of students as a whole school experience. I believe that this is just to different. Why, how, and whose fault ...I believe one thing and you another. I can say this, at Bell we work as hard as anyone and we have just as much parent involvement as you. I look forward to the next time Lex. Cath comes here, I do believe we will see you again next year on Log Mountain again. I don't want to put the cart before the horse, we should. Maybe we meet in the endzone for a coffee.

By the way things are quiet in Harlan County. Who are the Bears after now. Any word on the next coach. Nothing has been posted in the last week or so?

Athletes, not players. We can put players on the field. You take kids form many counties. I mentioned this earlier....Our roster will be the same as last year minus 6 seniors and new freshman...Lex Cath lost 33 seniors, but how many will be on there that didn't come from their middle school. I saw in an earlier post that they don't have a middle school football program? How is this possible?
