NKY KID

Graduate 7 and no juniors in the program this year. Ben is a great coach and he will work hard to develop the “youngsters” that he has coming back.

Jake is a super young man! Quietly goes about his job and always giving 100%. He is the ideal teammate. Congrats!

Yes. I believe it is Wednesday evening at Highlands.

During the Lloyd vs. NewCath game this week one of the NCC players fouled out. Coach Luhn called his team over prior to subbing. Three of the Lloyd players followed and basically stood in the huddle watching and listening to what coach was telling his team. I am assuming the opposing team has the right to be “in the huddle” because it is not an official timeout? I have never seen it done before but the officiating crew did not say anything to them.

I expected St. Henry to win by 15 or more going off of recent NCC play. They have really been turning the ball over way too much and they also have not played the best since losing Eglian. I do think some have stepped up in his absence but just not the scoring threat Caleb is. St. Henry also seemed to have a lot of turnovers last night that kept it close. If they stayed out of foul trouble I think it would have been a larger margin.

I heard Kramer tweaked an ankle in practice and did not play.

I probably wasn’t exactly clear earlier. Maybe the number is no longer the smallest 125 but the smallest 90 or 100 schools to get it closer to what it was meant to be as a small school tournament. Consolidation has definitely played a role with the numbers.

Man this really has my brain spinning! We have six classes in football, three classes in track and mostly all other sports are non- classified. I would think following the football classifications would probably get you closer to what I would consider “A” vs “2A” than that of track.

It sounds like it might make sense for those that oversee the All “A” to take a hard look at the smallest 125 schools and adjust that number to continue to make it a true small school tournament. I get that there is not a set enrollment number but it seems like that number used to be around 325 and now it has risen to 500-600.

Since the All “A” Tournament has started or getting ready to start in most regions I thought we could discuss what the guidelines are for what dictates who is an “A” school. Now that there is a “2A” tournament it seems like some schools enrollment would indicate they should be in “2A” and not “A”. Can anyone educate me on what makes a school an “A” school?
