I have no clue who anyone brings back or what the talent level is but unless some of these good 2A teams drop back to 1A then the best bet is money on Pikeville.

KF…the above bolded quote can’t happen because we are in the first of a 4-year cycle of classification/districting and the only time teams can move up/down due to a big change in enrollment only is between the second and third years then they redo everyone after four years. Also, teams will no longer be allowed to request to play up or down for any reason. Once a team is placed into a classification, they are stuck there for either two or four years.

With that having been said, I agree that it’s Pikeville’s to lose. They may not host a fourth round game because we know KCD will play a schedule of cupcake larger schools and get those RPI points higher and then possibly Campbellsville or Sayre could have higher RPIs since Pikeville will play a stronger non-district schedule against teams they could fall against. Either way it won’t matter cause Pikeville will be on the carpet yet again.

The current classification is only a 2-year deal.  There will be another reclassification after the 2024 season, which will be the first year of the next 4-year classification.
