Since '98. There have been 144 schools play in football state championship games…., ALL but 20 of them have fallen within one and/or all of the following categories:

1) Independent
2) Private
3) Following areas:

***That’s 87% of the teams who play for all the marbles coming from one or mix of the above***

******Ironically…..13 of those 14 counties listed above are in the TOP 20 Most Populated Counties in KY…the one that isn’t? Shelby County(Collins in '12) and they are pushing the envelope.
