My freshman year at somerset we played Oak Hill Academy at Somerset. That was 1987

 

Used to be very common. The rule that disallowed it went into place a few years ago (2010~).

I'm pretty sure this rule was changed in the past year to allow these type of games. At least that's what I've been told.

 

You are correct. It was passed at the annual meeting this past September.

 

Ahhh, news to me, wasn't aware of that.

I though KY teams were only allowed to play teams that were in other state athletic associations?

Read previous posts.

Here is the amendment:

 

Proposal 2016 – 10

A proposal to amend Bylaw 22 to remove the restrictions on playing only member schools when competing against out of state teams in baseball, basketball, field hockey, football, soccer, softball and volleyball, both when played in state and when played out of state.

 

Yes 186 No 30

This is what bothers me about the KHSAA. They did pass this rule to allow KHSAA schools to play teams such as this who are outside the state of Kentucky but will not allow actual schools in Kentucky who choose to not be part of the KHSAA to play. Tell me again how it's all about the kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because they want them to be members of the KHSAA. I know that might not be what you want to hear but that is probably the reason. Members have to pay a membership fee.

You're right

I know most of us would be glad to give them their fees just in order to play KHSAA schools and stay independent.

Will take place Friday, Feb 17 at 7:00 p.m. at Marshall County
