[common sense]

The "old" 2A was in the 4 class system and is basically the new 3A.

That argument is null and void.

When the khsaa in all it's infinite wisdom changed the 4 class system to the current 6 class system they watered down success for many schools. However, most 2A schools recieved just the opposite. The new 3A class consist of almost all of the old 2A powers plus some of the old small 3A teams(Louisville Central and Mason Co.). The only quality team that did not come along from the old 2A class that i can think of is Prestonsburg so old 2A is basically new 3A on steroids.
