Pike County SI won't allow ER and SV to travel that much. Expect to see a district 8 of PBurg, BL, SC, SV, and ER.

So your thoughts would leave Bath Co, West Carter, Knott, Breathitt, Leslie, and M'boro....How about this:
KHSAA offers deal to Bath, West, Morgan, and Magoffin (all 4 within 8 spots of each other on enrollment splitting 2A and 3A). Morgan and Magoffin drop to 2A (as they are 2 of the last 3 into 3A) and offer Bath and West to move up into 3A district of Fleming, Mason, Lewis, East, West, and Bath Co. Morgan and Magoffin move in with Knott, Breathitt, Leslie, and M'boro. (M'boro is in no man's land in the new alignment as there isn't anyone even close.)

Talk of Greenup moving to 3A is interesting but if I am Greenup Co (current 4A) AND Russell (middle 3A but football heavy) I am wanting in the 4A district with Ashland, Boyd, and Rowan Co. Either of those teams can and would compete for the district title every year with Ashland (who is surprisingly close to 3A in the new alignment).
