Rematch of the 37th District finals.

Ugh. NKYfan.com tweeted "Very impressive to see the run Scott has put on in volleyball recently..." Really? going 3-7 in your last 10 games is impressive? The state tourney is a bad joke. The semi-final losers tonight in Region 9 would pound both CC and Scott (and did in the regular season) and should be going to state instead. What's worse, Region 10 matches up with Region 3, which is even worse than Region 10.

 

Have 16 regional winners plus 8 wildcard teams . . or reassign the districts and regions . . . or have classes like in football. Too many good teams in Regions 6, 7 and 9 being left at home.

Happens every year in all sports. Can not redistrict just because one sport happens to have a cluster of goodteams in one district. Look at boys basketball Scott Campbell and Brossart.......One of them will not make it out of district this year either.

All the more reason to have classes or wild card teams.

Nope. Just the facts. In 33 years of Volleyball in Kentucky, only 5 teams have EVER won the state championship, and they all hail from Regions 6, 7, and 9. So the deep regions leave strong contending teams at home, and on the flip side, if you win any other Region, what shot do you have? History says none. I would think everyone would be lobbying to change the format, seems broke to me for a number of years.

 

The first round game at State for the Region 6, 7, and 9 winner shouldn't be as easy as their first round District game - but it will be.

I would say then start by writing a letter to the KHSAA and athletic directors of area schools suggesting the need for classification in volleyball.

Does it really matter when Assumtion is going to win again??? How many championships between NDA and Assumtion have they won out of the 33 years. Let me answer that, a bunch. It happens in every sport and they will not class it out for a sport other than Football because it would cost to much. I would love to see it to give the small Schools a chance to compete but it will never happen.

Also how would you figure out a wild card??? Statewide polls are not the answer because they are never correct. One of the coaches poll in girls soccer as of 2 weeks again had Highlands at #5 in the state. That is why polls would not work.

A simple fix would be to advance only 1 team from districts to regionals instead of 2, and advance both of the regional championship teams to state instead. Makes the state tourney longer and bigger, which makes more $$ for the KHSAA.

That sounds like a good idea but what happens when you have 2 really good teams in the same district???

Not necessarily.................Also makes expenses go up, which in sports such as volleyball, soccer, baseball, softball, etc can mean losing money and not making money.
