[Pulp Fiction]

Looks alot like the basketball state tourney for the past many years.....and baseball....and softball.....there may be a "little guy" (this years little guy is Hazard who we all know is not a little guy at all in anything) to be there each year but look for the trend to continue in all. Elliott County in basketball is the only exception I can think of as a true little guy that competes. Some day the KHSAA will join the rest of the nation with some type of class system in all sports. 2 classes would be enough in most including basketball, baseball, and softball. Do not know enough about soccer (nor do I care to) to speak if it would there.

1A, 2A & 3A.
4A, 5A & 6A.


If the KHSAA decided to class(I hope they never do), IMO, this would be the most logical.

I know the 15th as well as anybody. The only 4A team is Johnson Central with no 5A or 6A teams. There would have to be some serious moving around of almost every region. The 16 regions we have now would be completely different.


Having the 1, 2 & 3A teams and the 4, 5 & 6A teams competing against each other would be the best for some sports (baseball, softball, basketball, swimming & diving)

Other sports like wrestling would suffer. There aren't that many teams as it is, some classes would only have seven or eight people per weight class in the state championship brackets.

Cross Country and Track & Field use a Class system (1A, 2A & 3A) for their regional and state meets. More less making 3 out of 6.



We would have to have more District, Regional and State meet sites. The competition schedule would have to be cut back (it will not be extended) to accommodate having to play extra post-season tournaments and the travel for some teams would be crazy. Some areas wouldn't be bad, but some would be out of sight just for a district contest. Johnson Central's closest district game would be Boyd County or Ashland Blazer.

Using the 4A, 5A & 6A model.
Johnson Central
Boyd County
Ashland Blazer
Rowan County
Greenup County
East Carter
Perry County Central
Letcher County Central
Harlan County
Knox Central
Montgomery County
North Laurel
South Laurel

I know this is far fetched and seems Cray-Cray, but somebody show me something better.
