?❓ We're in the penultimate week of the regular season. Higher RPI, locked in after the final pre District game, determines the host of the first two rounds of the KHSAA tourney. Too early to think about first round pairings?

Of last year's Regional champions, only West Jessamine was outside of the top four in RPI. 

The link to the most recent RPI is below. History has proven the champion of each Region is most likely from a combo of top RPI and poll squads. Click on the "Region" header to sort.

@Runcible Owl have you seen a date when KHSAA will have the draw on what Regions play who in the State Tournament? I remember they televised it last year and they I think did soccer and volleyball all on the same show. Just curious…..

You're right about the televised draw last year. I'd look for an announcement during the first few weeks of October. The 2022 news release below was sent out the day before the draw, held the same day as the Girls 9th Region semifinals.
