I have a great idea...Let's go to seven classes. The current 6 we have now plus 7A for just your poor rural county school. That way you could win a state championship without having to work for it like other schools do.

Your poor rural county school has access to every athlete in the county. In Highlands county (Campbell) there is one county school, four independent school districts and two parochial schools. If you think any one of these schools could "recruit" without repercussions from the other schools you are sorely mistaken.

I will concede that a few kids/parents recruit the school, for whatever reason, be it academics and/or sports. That is beyond the schools' control.

I would venture a guess that half of NCC's starters are from Fort Thomas and would certainly contribute to the success of Highlands. However, for whatever reason, they chose NCC.

When you come up with the proof of recruiting, make sure you contact KHSAA.

So they don't get players from the Cincinnati area? I understand there are transfers to an from every school out there. But some seem to get a little more athletically gifted ones an get them consistently? An I dont think there's much of an argument that it's the private schools who benefit the most from this?? IMO. But I do believe also that after a team like HHS or trinity get the reps that they have earned over the years people just gravitate towards winning programs like them, so the actual "recruiting" part ehh... maybe not so much. but the ability to have kids from all over attend your school without any boundaries Is probably more of a problem. IMO. An the list of schools Still alive just makes the point for public vs private debate that's a large percentage of co. Schools an small percentage of private I would bet a pay check that will most certainly be equalled out the next few rounds by losing most all public schools an I'm sure private will be represented nicely in every class? As is par. Just my opinion on what I've seen through the years. Not trying to step on toes here.
