When the All A first came around and then began its change to what we have today. There were schools that opted NOT to play in the All A due to it not being "worthy" of their "big time" approach to sports. Now some of those same programs in various sports claim titles.......... For those of us that have seen the development over the years this is frustrating. Make fun of the All A then when it became a better tourney and lucrative go ahead and jump in.

Do you have also have a problem with MLB playing a World Series. I mean, it's not really a "world" champion when the sport is only played in North America, right?! Semantics.

 

It's funny you say that because that has crossed my mind in the past!

For someone who promised they weren't going to talk about the All A this year, you sure have a lot to say about it! :sarcastic:

So IF the All-A is indeed a statewide playoff..

and IF the All-A winner is legitimately the small school State Champion (with no *asterisk next to it)..

and IF (as some assert) that the very existence of the All-A means we have classes in basketball..

then WHY are All-A schools also allowed to participate in the KHSAA playoffs in March?

 

I mean, if the All-A is legit and for real, didn't the small schools have their state playoff, crown the State Champ, and order their rings? Explain to me how a school can possibly compete for a 2nd State Championship playing in different class in the same year?

I dug this up

 

A salute to Northern Kentucky's champions

 

Listing All-A tournament winners alongside actual KHSAA State Champions and calling the whole thing "A look back at high school state champions in Northern Kentucky for the 2013-14 school season:" is to me, wrong and misleading.

 

You and Jayhawk really have heart burn over the name, is there really other issue's. COME ON MAN!!!! LOL

I'm not knocking though, I'm helping with solutions!

This has to be at least a 98% reduction over last year.

Although, he may have more to say when the SoftbAll StAte ChAmpionship is held.

:deadhorse: survey says.......KHSAA doesn't recognize it, so it isn't. Period.

 

You need a HUG

Great point, curious to hear Jayhawk and dallaslaredo response to this.

Me too. Funny how one of those names has posted since my post but all I hear are crickets on this question....

I go to regular season games. This is no different.

 

Much different

Maybe you haven't gotten a response because you are comparing Apples to 8 track tape players.

 

Is there a group of small market MLB teams that get together in August, have their own tournament and playoffs in the middle of the season, and then say that the winner of that tournament is now "World Champion"? And then go play in the regular MLB postseason in October?

Didn't realize you lived in Frankfort.
