This is incorrect. In high school there are some public schools who choose to limit themselves to physical school zones. Belfry is a public school and for years they have allowed kids from out of their district to pay tuition and attend and play sports at Belfry. David Jones was one of those kids. He lived in West Virginia and went to Belfry. Owensboro Senior, Ashland, Raceland, Highlands, Beechwood, they all allow kids to come in from out of their school district. Same in Ohio. Princeton High School is a public high school that does it. I worked for years with a guy who had lived in Dayton and drove down to Princeton for high school every day because his dad worked down at the GE plant on the north side of Cincinnati and his family wanted him at Princeton instead of in Dayton Public Schools. Swam for Princeton's team for 4 years and ended up going to UC on a partial scholly for swimming.

Cronyism at its finest. I'm not sure why the NFHS decided to hire a dinosaur of their industry, but the NFHS doesn't really have a track record of major success with technology either. Their streaming platform is an absolute clunker at best.

The current RPI formula is pure laziness from the KHSAA.

Public and state colleges totally eclipse the total number of football national championships, men's NCAA basketball tournament championships, and men's NIT basketball tournament championships that private colleges have. Why aren't private colleges throwing a temper tantrum, wetting their diapers and trying to start their own separate national championships? Hot take. Public school educators like these folks in the Suburban league should start acting like grownups instead of babies. When you're preparing these high schoolers to be sent out into the world as adults teach them a valuable life lesson, life isn't fair, and expecting it to be is gonna cause you nothing but disappointment on a whole lotta levels.

Yahoo Sports has the HL article mirrored on their site. Evidently Matthew Amburgey stood in for Hawkins on a couple of preseason shows, he's the OC and QB coach. During Glicod's preseason show on Aug 5 Amburgey apparently said that he was standing in for Hawkins due to illness and during Prepspin's preseason show on Aug 17 there wasn't any direct mention of Hawkins's status but Amburgey spoke in a manner that implied that Hawkins was still head coach. The article says that the FCPS confirmed on Aug 17 that Hawkins has been placed on administrative leave and the team's Arbiter page currently shows Phillip Hawkins and Timothy McCoy both listed as head coach.

Great question. I ran into our school's new stats guy last night at the gas station and he told me he still hasn't heard boo from the KHSAA as far as instructions on how to use Arbiter or enter stats on the site for the upcoming football season. Decided to try registering myself and seeing what things looked like on there and as someone who isn't a coach, official, or parent. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to register either. These are the options you have for your categories when registering. I figured families/students might be some sort of general "fan" view of the site but then after clicking that it immediately started asking questions about student guardianship, so that's evidently not the answer. If this is supposed to be something that's "extremely precious" to Commissioner Tackett and this is the most capable Tackett is at handling that "extremely precious" thing, then I think the KHSAA's head honcho is either grossly unqualified to do his job or grossly past his capable prime. Time for him to hang it up.

The multiplier idea would work way more equitably if they apply a multiplier it to the actual number of students that are attending a school from outside of their district.

If you look at that chart that C_W_B put in that thread about the past coaching changes, there's a big year that happens roughly once every 10 years. In the 80's the big year was 1988 when they had 42 changes, then it was 9 years until the big year from the 90's when they had 55 changes in 1997, then it was 8 years until the big year from the 00's when they had 56 changes in 2005, then 10 years until the big year from the 10's when they had 51 changes in 2015, and now it's been 11 years and it's currently the big year for the 20's with 57 changes.

Guess I could be wrong about what all I'm remembering of it but I thought in 2021 or 2022 Kentucky passed a law that all districts have to have some measure in place for allowing non-resident students to attend, even though it may not be an 'open enrollment' type of situation. The Dept of Ed has all of the districts' policies published here- https://www.education.ky.gov/districts/enrol/Pages/Nonresident-Student-Policy.aspx?View=Non-Resident Policy&Title=Non-Resident Policies&Page=2 Looks like some districts are more of a case-by-case basis type of thing for enrolling non-residents and they keep their non-resident attendance policy 'quiet' by only having it published on the Dept of Ed website while other districts are wide open to non-resident enrollment and have their non-resident policy right there on their district website for anyone to be able to apply. Boyle does- https://www.boyle.kyschools.us/enroll/nonresident Campbell does- https://www.campbell.kyschools.us/page/nonresident-student-policies Fayette does- https://www.fcps.net/school-resources/registration-enrollment/non-resident-student-applications

LOL we know the broadcast is behind the live action. Jumping into all of this late and trying to overtake things is confusing as hell.

I hope when the day comes that Jay Cobb announces his retirement there's a team out there that can absolutely smoke his team to end their season and send him walking off the field for a final time on the losing side of a running clock. Just sayin.

I'd like to see a total tally of football players getting college offers at Boyle and Male over the last 5-10 years. Especially FBS and FCS offers. I've got a sneaking suspicion that Boyle would come out ahead of Male. Male obviously gets some very talented players, but Boyle is right there with Male if they're not a step ahead in talent.

So who would your top choices be?

It's not that simple in a magnet school.
