^ Honestly not playing baseball has nothing to do with this discussion. For some reason you felt the need to stoop low and attack someone who was simply stating an opinion on how they think things could be improved. There's no harm in stating an opinion on a forum board that literally has no authority to change anything. It's honestly sad that you feel the need to so agressively go after someone in such a condescending manner and refer to them as a coward.

By your logic someone could say this: Why do you care? You aren't a current player and your sons are already graduated from JC ? So you really have no dog in this fight either.

Also you can't really use programs such as Johnson Central and Boyd Co as examples of out working all of the competition and thus becoming state contenders. While yes of course they both have tremendous programs with solid feeder programs and top coaches but they also have by far the highest enrollments of any school in the eastern Kentucky. If you took the same coaches and facilities to a place like South Floyd, Owsley County, Phelps, Jenkins, etc. and kept the same enrollment numbers they would still not be able to compete year in and year out with the likes of Trinity, McCracken, St. X, Tates Creek, etc. There would be obvious improvement but working hard, facilities, and coaches can't produce top pitchers, hitters and fielders every single year with and enrollment of less than 200 students.

I would be in favor of splitting the 6 classes into two tournaments. Smaller schools (1A, 2A, 3A) in one tournament and (4A, 5A, 6A) in another. This keeps the competition strong in both fields but allows smaller schools to have more than a once in a half century chance of winning. While big schools that have large enrollments such as JC and Boyd Co still get to compete against the best.
