I will agree with you on this. I think the All A lets too many schools in. The enrollment needs to be a little lower.

 

But if they did that then they would upset even more middle enrollment schools.

Must have hit nerve.

 

Not at all, just love seeing how everyone gets geeked up and justifies it as a "State' Championship when it's not. Point of this whole thread and reason why so many oppose it, or for it, if your from the All "A" teamsters class. Just coming from "peaked at high school Rob Lowe, or was that meat head Rob Lowe"? :idunno: When KHSAA splits the schools like they do in Football and Track, then they can call themselves state champs, until then, its a nice tournament as I've said. keep the money for the rings to pay for something that matters and is recognized by their state affiliation.

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

Wow LB...it's true...you are not the best lookin coach in the 9th region!

 

BTW...photo shop is a powerful tool!

we either have classifications for state titles for everyone or we don't.

 

Agree.

 

It is an invitational until we start calling them state champs and the scoreboard list the tournament as the A state championship.

 

Agree again. Scoreboard, social media, newspaper - suddenly, we have classes and 2 champs. Since when?

you're insinuating that other schools are not being recognized for their accomplishments, and that the All "A" has something to do with that.

 

Probably not the tournament itself, but the way it is perceived/portrayed by fans, parents, boosters, media, and sometimes, but not always, by the schools.

NewCath boys been getting some nice rings the past couple of years for their efforts. BTW, the say State Champions on it. :banana:

This would be Exhibit A, your Honor.

:laugh::lol:

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.

 

This.

Its really sad that you have a problem with kids saying they are the All A State Champions. I could see it being a problem if they were just called the state champs. However anytime anyone talks about the All A State Champions, they call them exactly that the All A State Champions. Which is by no means confusion for just State Champions. So it is really sad that you all have that this big of a problem with this.

 

Just like how football use to have what 3 classes, and then 4 classes, and then 6 classes to decide state champs. Basketball has basically two classes now one for the All A State Champion, and then the one for the whole state. Its a tournament that all small school are in from the whole state. Its not like the tournaments you mentioned, which are great tournaments. So if a tournament includes all the teams in the state from a certain class as the All A does, what else should they be called besides All A State Champs. Because that teams is truly the State Champion for All A. Its sad that some have that big of an issue with it.

This.

 

I could be wrong but does the KHSAA even pay for State Championship Rings in their sports? I thought I heard boosters or the school also pay for it for KHSAA State Championships? If this is true, then whats the point?

I'm just courious when a school wins this Championship does the Banner say All A state Champions or just State Champions? Being new to the Kentucky basketball seen when I hear people talk about this I get confused. I was under the impression that this was a actual sanctioned championship. Either a great case of promotion or a bad case of misrepresentation.

Boo, freakin hoo! Cry me a river!

Fans, Parents, Boosters and the schools should make it a big deal for the kids! Why wouldn't they?

"Everybody gets a trophy", or in this case, a "State Championship" ring.

It's both. And why would you get a banner for winning a regular season invitational tournament? There's a reason this thing is in the middle of the season, it's because..wait for it... it's actually not THE state tournament.
