Maybe we should switch to what football does and develop classes (6A, 5A, 4A, etc.). There is no reason that teams like Corbin should be playing teams like Mercy or Assumption. That's just embarrassing on both ends. Getting beat that badly is just demoralizing for teams.

 

This will never happen because

 

1. KHSAA views volleyball as a second tier sport in the fall behind football, boys' soccer and girls' soccer.

 

2. There simply aren't enough teams to support this set up, let alone quality teams.

 

3. This would mean spreading the state tourney over two weekends or include week night games. Last year was the first year the KHSAA listened to the years of complaints and let the final be a stand alone event on Sunday. For years, the teams played one match on Friday and the quarters, semis and finals all on Saturday. Emotionally and physically exhausting.

 

4. Show me the money....and there is none . I don't know for sure but I would venture to say the KHSAA loses money on the state tournament.

Sacred Heart beats Assumption in Regionals and goes to State. You heard it here first.

All sports are behind football except for basketball. Soccer has a terrible state tourney and no classification and probably runs at more of a loss than volleyball. Basketball played two games on Saturday and teams had to play Thursday, Friday and twice on Saturday until last year. So Volleyball is in no worse shape than any other sport.
