hooaah

Fort Campbell is playing Hopkinsville this year, and they have played Christian Co in the past.

Christian Co. v Bowling Green Mayfield v Marshall Co. Russellville v Franklin Simpson Hoptown v Tilghman

21 Aug - Hopkinsville at Paducah Tilghman. Let's see how these two traditionally strong teams match up this year. 22 Aug - Christian County at Bowling Green in the Rafferty's Bowl (at WKU). Could tell you who will be the team to beat in the west in 5A.

Prayers from your neighbors in Hoptown.

Who will Paducah scrimmage?

This is just a product of this reclassification and where the schools fell. In the current allignment, all the 'traditional' power teams in the west fell into the other classes. Kind of the same way with 6A.

4A in the West isn't going to challenge anyone in the East this year.

Yes, it's a nice complex, now the field/stadium is a different story - definately needs work, but that indoor complex is first class.

That's a black eye for WKU, how could that happen and who was responsible? Somebody needs to be held accountable.:madman:

That's a perception and I think its a bad one. Coach's can teach and coach, especially experienced ones who have taught for a while. I know old coach Jaggs taught health and pe the whole time he was coaching, Mueller is the chair of the science department at Highlands, if I’m not mistaken, and it doesn’t seem to bother him much! Saying you can't do both effectively is BS. I don't think that is an indication of how serious a football program is about winning, there’s a whole lot more to it than that. After all the purpose of every school's existence is to teach kids, not play football - sorry.:scared:

Agree. I know some schools, that are border line attendance wise, have asked to be moved for two years in order to round out discticts and cut travel have been denied by the KHSAA. I don't think the 6 class system will survive the next round of reclassification.

The numbers will tell you that Hoptown is at the bottom of 5A enrollment wise. They have 8 more students than Hopkins Central. You can go the other way too, move up a 3A school in Dist I that has 5 schools. Take Tilghman and round out the district. Lone Oak has 29 more kids than Tilghman. Obviously, there's not that much difference between the very bottom of one class and the very top of another. Having 3 team districts with some teams getting byes and other districts where some teams don't even go to the playoffs makes ZERO sense.

What would have made sense is to move one of the District I 5A schools down to 4A since 5A district I now has 5 schools with the addition of Madisonville. It doesn't make sense to have a Logan county school drive all the way to Lone Oak or Calloway for a district game. It would look a lot like the old District I Class 3A in the 4 class system that had Lone Oak, Calloway, Union Co and Hopkinsville.

And zero Tennessee teams, interesting.

Agree and maybe that's one of the reasons they were 5-5 this year. 5-5 at Georgetown isn't good enough. :puke: Its especially true in Western Kentucky. There were number of quality players they just turned their back on this past spring. Georgetown used to get players from Paducah, Madisonville, Hopkinsville, Princeton, etc. - now they're not interested.
