[Single Wing 77]

He was talking size of the player not the school. South Laurel didn't have a team full of 6'7" PF that he was insinuating. They were relatively small in comparison to the field. Shelby Valley didn't have a guy over 6'3" when they won it all. Again, every year there is a small school champion and one at large champion. If your school isn't eligible for the All "A" then you are in the same boat as about 190 other schools. And I'm sure over the past 27 years there have been plenty of teams that worked hard, they just didn't have in their roster of 25 what the ones that did in their roster of 25. They have now opened it up to 16 teams over two weekends to accommodate the complaint that you are having. Even if they did classify, what if Lawrence County or Paintsville or West Carter or Raceland or Fairview doesn't win it all? Is it time to divide it even more like a California and have an area champion then be done with it? I think the KHSAA has gone above and beyond to make it competitive for everyone in the running.

You're wrong about souths size that year, they had a Eric fields was 6'9" Walt Allen was 6'6" and they also had another post player named trey something that was 6'8". They had plenty of size.
