You're right, the answer is to develope that 5'10" power forward into a 6'7" power forward. It can be done if you start when their at the youth level. The best 15 at a school with 1500 boys will be better then the best 15 at a school with 100 boys 95% of the time. It is a clear advantage.

You act as if 6'7" power forwards are walking down every hall and make up 20% of a 1500 male enrollment in large cities which is not the case. They end up in small towns as well, Paintsville had them as well as a 6'10" center and a 6'9" PF to go along with a 6'7" SF in 1996 and probably had a male enrollment of 100 grades 9-12. I'm sure Clay County in 1987, South Laurel in 2005 and Shelby Valley in 2010 are all teams that had the size you are referencing when they won the title didn't they? No they did not. They were fundamentally sound and played flawless as a team to win their titles. Don't act like it doesn't happen because it does. Not all championships are won by teams from Lexington or Louisville. From 2000 only 4 champions have come from those two cities in Basketball. You want more small schools to win titles and they do every year in the Class "A". The deck is not stacked from the start so why not do your best and outwork the competition? No where does it say you have to have size to win it all or 2000 males to choose from. Every school is represented by their best available and not every school is the same size which is true and that is why they limit each school to 15 players. You take what you have and compete. Sometimes you are the best and other times you aren't. As I said earlier, if the KHSAA determined a cutoff for the number of players on a football team that each school can use I'd be all for eliminating football classification as well.
