KHSAA to consider dropping field hockey as official sport.

[Tigercat]

In today's CJ there is an article about the morons at the KHSAA maybe dropping field hockey as a sanctioned sport for state championship purposes. It admits it is not losing money, and has large crowds. A concern seems to be that it is just played in Jefferson and Oldham counties. It was noted that several girls get scholarships.

I think everyone should write the KHSAA in support of this sport. Why should the girls in Jefferson and Oldham suffer because the rest of the state doesn't offer the sport?

Not all schools have swimming teams, nor tennis teams nor golf teams. Should we ban those also?

Yeah if it's not losing money dropping it shouldn't even be considered, IMO.

I'm with ya @Tigercat!

 

They shouldn't ban field hockey and I hope they find a way to sanction lacrosse!

The KHSAA board of control voted on it today and field hockey will remain sanctioned.
