And call me petty, call me whatever, but I love the fact that there's only 1 official State Champ in KY in almost every sport, determined in a true statewide tourney. And whoever wins it is going to have to go through a gauntlet to do so. And that team deserves, in the minds of the general public, to be the sole owner of that title. So when a different team wins a regular season tournament (one that frankly excludes the top teams in the state) and fans, parents, and sometimes (but not always) the schools themselves hail it as a "State Championship" I have a problem with that. Because it does happen..we've all seen it. It gets inflated. Banners, T-Shirts, etc. Celebrate the win? Sure.

 

So have fun, celebrate the tourney, hand out the scholarships, and crown the champs.

 

Hell, we even had one of our rival coaches join in on the celebration of an All A Title......:eek::lol:

I agree it is a great tournament and I don't understand all the fuss, I will tell you this some small Schools can beat the larger Schools, If you want to look at softball there is not one team in the 9th region in the last five years that could win the All A in Softball.

 

WITHOUT QUESTION!!!

Bolded are the schools that the "STATE CHAMPS" beat.

Funny, when HHS football players line up, they have a lot less fingers available....:dancingpa

 

Have to admit, that's pretty funny.

Can't believe I spent my whole lunch break on this one thread.........damn you RCC9. :lol2:

Region 1

 

Boys Side:

5 times Murray, St. Mary, Heath, Mayfield

2 Hickman County and Carlisle County

1 Ballard Memorial and Fulton County

 

Girls side

12 Murray

3 Ballard Memorial

2 Mayfield, St. Mary, Fulton Co.

1 Heath and Hickman County

 

ON the boys a lot of times have went, Murray has dominated the girls but several others have won as well.

 

There are only 10 All "A" schools in Region 1 and 8 out of 10 have made the Boys Tourney and 7 out of 10 have made the Girls Tourney.

Because the school or boosters paid for it, their choice. But again, not recognized by KHSAA. I can go out and buy nice rings too from Jostens for being chicken wing eating champ, so big deal. It's false pretense and sad that 20 year from now they will actually tell their kids they were state champs when they were not. Cov Cath was. Period. Congrats on their tournament champ rings.

 

Must have hit nerve.

I don't see classifications anytime soon and I think the All A has kept the talk for classification at bay.

 

The KHSAA has the best of both worlds. They have their sweet sixteen and the small schools get to participate state wide in a smaller school tournament called the All A.

 

Couldn't have said this any better myself!
