Love everything about this hire. Get'em, Will!!

**Again, this is just the '24-'25 boys only enrollment numbers, ranks, etc** 1A 2A 3A

Posted these the other day, but these are boys enrollment numbers only from '24-'25 reports . Middle 4 rows are, from L-R ('28, '27, '26 and the graduated '25), then rank in order (smallest to largest), followed by the boys total. ** 32 in both Class A and 6A- well, 6A I just added Hoptown and Christian County, didn't combine them into just one for the new consolidation ** 40 in 4A and 5A ** 39 in 2A and 3A (No idea if that's how they'll actually separate them or not, but for fun) 4A 5A 6A

As I'm sure you know, Meade used to be in the 5th for many years. It only makes sense for them to be. I don't think Fort Knox will get that granted to them, though. If the high school was actually in Bullitt County like some of the base is (as well as being in Meade, and obviously Hardin), then they'd have a case. But, they are closer to all three of the Hardin County high school's as well as E-town moreso than they are to what would be any of the potential 6th region/district teams.

Just for fun Can get a general idea (ie: Top 5 biggest in each class, Top 5 smallest? USUALLY where any/all movement comes from) All listed smallest-largest for each class Total Boys Enrollment= Far Right Column Class Enrollment Rank= 2nd from Right Middle Four Columns= L-R ( c/o '28, '27, '26, '25) 1A (Yellow) & 6A (Blue)= 32 Teams (I listed Christian Co and Hopkinsville both as "32" in 6A) 2A (Orange), 3A (Green)= 39 Teams (** Have no idea if that will be the case or not, just how I split them up**) 4A (Light Blue), 5A (Red)= 40 Teams (** See 2A, 3A justification**)

Neither. ......Fairdale.

Seneca Driver The end. (and, that's nothing against any of the others mentioned, but he's just that good. What he does on both sides of the ball? The freak of nature he is physically? His speed to go with it? The P4 player he will be? Stays healthy the next few years and we are looking at a future 1st round draft pick.)

Dude is the best there is in the league at coffin cornering them.

Nah. No need to leave and shouldn't be in a rush to leave. Has his whole career ahead of him- don't leave a Camelot as a top assistant for just anything (and, Greenwood isn't just "anything". I didn't mean that. Far from it. Great school, really good programs across the board- boys & girls, facilities and just so happens to be in THE best town in Kentucky)

Jason would be a great hire, too, but he's got a heck of a program going in his own right as the Head Baseball Coach out on Scottsville Road. I THINK continuing to do the offense for G'wood in the fall will continue. If by chance Tony isn't named as the next HFC? It's simply because he didn't/doesn't want it.

Agreed. Nothing about January 23, in high school football, is late. This job will go to Tony Adams, as it should- whether Will resigned in November or now.

This will be an inside hire & go to Tony Adams (as it should). Congrats to Coach Howard on a heck of a career at Greenwood!

IF a success multiplier were used & a guideline of "making it to the state finals"? Using every 2 years? Add these to the list. Owensboro Catholic Trinity (but, again, that's the conundrum, for now...where would they go? Which is why, as I've stated, I don't think the success multiplier is the way to go for KY until that path was sorted out) Using every 4 years? Add these also to the original list.

"I'm NOT Success Multiplier or Bust."

I know we keep framing a "success factor" as “punishment,” but is it really? Is it any more a punishment than Ohio County being expected to build a program while sharing a district/region with Bowling Green, Owensboro, and Madisonville-North Hopkins? Or Holmes constantly having to go through Covington Catholic and Highlands, and a region with Ashland and Johnson Central? Or Thomas Nelson, in a county already loaded with schools, knowing that if they’re in-district they’re staring at Bardstown, Christian Academy–Louisville, Central, and Lexington Catholic just to get out of the gate? That’s not even about winning a title—that’s about surviving. But context matters. Fun fact people forget: Boyle County never won a state title while being in the same class as Danville. Not one. What changed? In 1999, the KHSAA adopted the “you must play in your class” rule. Danville had always played up. You can’t convince me that rule wasn’t influenced by programs realizing that playing up was impeding their own path to improvement. Bowling Green had only one in it's school history until 6 classes. Raceland had never been to a state final in old 4 or 3 classes. You get the point and THERE ARE OTHERS. Outside changes have happened for years to the structure of this thing, allowing programs to thrive & continue to do so more than before That’s not “everyone gets a trophy.” That’s acknowledging reality. I’m not anti-multiplier—but I’m much more in favor of population density / demographic factors (Urban/Suburban/Rural) like Florida uses. That addresses the real imbalance without pretending success itself is the problem. A long-term success review might eventually lead to an Open/D1-type tier anyway. I’d rather be honest about that than act like moving a few programs up is some moral punishment. That’s not complaining. That’s just saying out loud what a lot of people already know but won’t say.
