No, I think you are missing my point. 25=25. Who cares where they are located? You are wanting smaller schools to start a dynasty with the same restrictions applied to large schools on the number of quality players they can keep in the scorebook. Smaller schools have their chance in May during the All "A". At the end of the year it's best on best. In Jefferson County enrollment is primarily based off zones. Is it fair that Doss, Fairdale, Eastern, Fern Creek, Iroquois, Male, Ballard or Seneca or anyone else may be at a disadvantage because one zone has more pitching and can hit a baseball better than the other?

For the Spartan example, is it fair to the Taliban that one American soldier with a drone can wipe out 100 Charlie while being miles away? It's not about quantity. It is about your mission, your plan and seeing it through to completion. If the Spartans thought 300 could beat thousands then that is their fault and they didn't have a good plan. If it would've been 300 on 300 then I'm sure their chances would've been better. Same as with this whole classification argument. You take your 25 and I'll take my 25, not you bring 25 and I'll have a 6 guys in the outfield and 5 in the infield. Each team plays 9 in the field and one guy is at the plate. How you manufacture runs or keep the other team's bats quiet is strategy all determined by how you make your post season roster.

That historical reference of the Spartans totally went over your head. It wasn't that the Spartans thought 300 was a "good plan", the Persian Empire was enormous in size and in comparison to Sparta. I used that example to show that the Spartan soldiers were the "best" in Sparta, and better trained soldiers than the Persians. However, the enormous numbers is what won that battle. And the "drone" example is apples to oranges. You are talking technology. Your example would be OK if we were talking about large schools using a different kind of bat or something like that. A 25 man roster for a 600 student school is 4% of the student population.....while it would be 1.7% of a 1400 student school. What does that mean? That means that the chances of having MORE SKILLED players are over twice as possible at larger schools than smaller. I would argue that football has 11 on 11, so that shouldn't matter. Find the "best" 11 players in the hallways. Right? Make the football guys play both sides of the ball. Make them be the punter. Make them be the kicker. What if there's an injury? So what. Same with baseball, injuries take place.

We will just have to agree to disagree on this. I don't think it's any coincidence that Kentucky is one of the last states, or the last one, that doesn't classify. Go watch another state and their state tournament. It is exciting to watch multiple state champs. Rivalries get created. And instead of seeing 16 teams, most being large schools, you end up seeing the BEST teams of all sizes.
