In discussing the upcoming 9th region display at the Beringer-Crawford Museum, I found out the the current way of getting to the state baketball tournament, distict-regional-state, was created in 1947. What was different before this current format was created, how did teams get to state before 1947? Did they have districts-regionals-sectionals-state, what was the format?

Where is the Beringer-Crawford Museum?

Devou, I thought a CCH boy would know that.

That's what I thought, but I didn't know many people came up to go through it. Especially from Pendleton Co.

In doing research I found that the 10th Region as we know it today started it 1932 with the eight team format. I thought the State tourney took their Regional winners from that point on. Before 1932 it was different as Maysville and Paris both played in the State tourney several times.

I not only know where it is, but I have been there a couple of times and it is not in my backyard.

 

Anyone have a more definitive answer? There were many more schools at that time, as that was before consolidation kicked in.

My grandfather was a senior on the 1946 Campbell County team that won the 9th Region. I never did recall him or my father talking about a different format back then.

When are they having this 9th Region display??? I'd be interested in seeing it.
