? Final at Latonia via the Riherds / KHSAA Scoreboard. 

(25-15, 25-20, 25-13)

Congratulations paNDAs! ? 

These are the final two teams to qualify for next week's 9th Region Tournament. 

KY #2, US #22 Notre Dame: 27-5 (R9 12-0) 

Beechwood: 25-12 (R9 13-7) 

✓ Notre Dame has not lost a District title game in this century (2000-2023).

When was the last time they didn’t win their district? They were even more dominant in the 80s and 90s than they are now. Districts were a little tougher back then. I remember the 33rd being a gauntlet in the 90s for basketball. I assume it was the same for vball. NDA doesn’t have district championships listed on their website, so I’m not sure.

It took a while to grow from four Regions at the beginning (1979) to six to eight (through 2002).

I'll double check, but I don't think Districts were a thing until the late '80s. Initially Regions were set up for pool play > double elimination (Region champs and runners-up went to State) > to the present 16 Region format in 2003 with Districts more closely aligned with basketball, baseball, etc.
