Nothing changed for Northern Kentucky high school football teams when it came to the final football realignment decisions from April’s KHSAA Board of Control meeting.

At Wednesday’s final Board of Control meeting for the school calendar year, the realignment was updated to address any comments or requests made by member schools.

The minimal changes were:

  • In Class 2A, the requests of Leslie County and Knott County to move from District 8 to District 7, and Martin County and Prestonsburg to move from District 7 to District 8 were approved, leaving District 7 composed of Breathitt County, Knott County Central, Leslie County and Magoffin County, and District 8 composed of Belfry, Martin County, Pike County Central, Prestonsburg and Shelby Valley; and the rest of the draft alignment was approved as distributed. 
  • In Class 3A, the request of Letcher County Central to move to Region 7 was approved, and the remainder of the Class 3A draft of the draft alignment was approved as distributed.
  • In Class 4A, the requests of Russell County (District 6 to District 2) and Breckinridge County (District 3 to District 4) to move districts were approved, and the remainder of the Class 3A draft of the draft alignment was approved as distributed.
  • The Class 1A, 5A and 6A alignments were approved as originally distributed.

The noted changes for NKY teams can be found here.
