I don't completely understand this All A State championship event, Is it considered a true state championship? Do they get state rings? Anyone care to fill me in?

Beechwood did a couple years back when they won the All A and lost in the regular state championship

These rings are not given out by the KHSAA, it is up to each individual school.

Why would it not be a 'true" state championship there are what 4 or 5 in football???? Sounds like a better shot at getting a football ring than a baseball ring?

Six in football. Football is classed, so there is a champion for each of the six classes. Baseball is not classed, so their is only one State Champion. The "All A" is way for the smaller schools to compete for a Championship, that would not normally have an opportunity to do so. It is a great accomplishment, but it is not the State Championship.

Believe me, whoever wins it win call themselves ALL A State Champs.

Lexington Christian won the State in 2005 and they are an A school.

I think all the Class A schools would disagree w/you on this. As stated, LCA won the State a few yrs ago and Beechwood was beat in the finals a couple yrs ago. I would guess if you researched it there have been a few Class A schools win the baseball championship.

 

Is there a problem w/the Class A schools winning a championship? I am guessing you are a Raceland fan, would you say you were state champions if they won the All A? I would bet you would.

If I'm not mistaken I think NCC has a few state championships!

But aren't they all from the 1950s?

I was just saying a State Champion in baseball/basketball is the best team in the state. Winning the "All A" is a very good accomplishment. And any team that wins it is a very good team and deserving of being looked at as accomplishing something great.

 

But, I just do not see it as a State Championship per say. Yes I am a Raceland grad and fan, and if Raceland won a "All A" I would be ecstatic, but I still do not see it as a State Championship.

 

Now, in football, which is classed, there is a State Champion for each class. If the other sports were classed then I could see it.

 

Just my opinion.

I guess it's all how you want to persieve it. I guess I personaly don't understand why football gets "classed" and we have 5 schools calling themselves State Champs yet all the other sports don't? IMO it's much easier for football when they clinch a playoff berth and won 2 games? I apologize this should be another thread.
