Have to agree with Norman on this one. Just because basketball doesn't have classes doesn't take away from this tournament. I believe every state except for Kentucky and Hawaii have classes in basketball. Even though the KHSAA doesn't recognize it as a State Championship, it is likely the only time that most small schools get a chance to play in a state tournament atmosphere. And on the bright side, the All 'A' takes much much better care financially for the teams in this tournament than the KHSAA. You actually LOSE $ when you go to the Sweet 16. The All 'A' assures you don't have to spend a dime if you spend within the reasonable limits they give you. I am a high proponent of this CLASSIC tournament. And congrats to all 16 squads that made it to the tournament this year.

It seems really sad that "Big" school supporters get on here complaining about the ALL A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. Why would you truly care if they have their own tournament? Private schools aside you are admitting that you have no idea how hard it is to build a competitive program with a 1/5th of the girls or less than larger schools have to choose from. To me it just makes Kentucky High School Basketball even more special.

Quality basketball, quality match-ups, quality players, exciting games, the "best" venue to watch a game bar-none. The All "A" staff run a great event and do a very professional job.
