after looking at these statistics, the 57th district has won 8 regional titles since '98 and has 9 runner-ups during that same time. any doubt that this district is by far the best in the 15th? fact that you have lawrence, johnson central, and paintsville in there isn't enough, sheldon clark has also won the region. only magoffin has not. something needs to be done to break up this district and spread the wealth some. when some teams in a 3-team district slide in and do not have to do anything to get to the region, and the 57th have to beat each other up and a good chance that at least one team, and maybe 2 teams, will be at home isn't good for the regional tournament.

That is horrible logic. Districts are based on location, not program quality. What happens if you did break up the 57th and another district's programs go through a few years of success? Redraw again? And what about basketball and softball (Baseball is not the only sport that uses these districts)? The 59th has been fairly successful in over the past 14 years in basketball. Should we break it up? No!

Districts are based on location when schools are as far apart as they are in the 15th. I do think the 57th needs to go to 4 teams. But that is an argument for another day. Baseball results, or any results, should not factor in the alignment of districts.
