Trigg County 34 Monroe County 20
Trigg County fell behind 20-0 a minute into the third quarter. They then scored the final 34 points of the game for the win. They got a scoop and score on one of three Monroe turnovers in the second half. Trigg QB Cam Jordan ran for 151 and threw for 199. Trigg's defense held Monroe to 10 rushing yards in the second half. A couple of key points. Monroe's starting QB didn't play due to injury. Also, Monroe was on the verge of going up 27-0 when they hit a receiver on a screen for an apparent touchdown. He went down at his own 40 with a cramp. The Trigg scoop and score soon followed and the game's complexion changed.

Could Girls Season Move to Spring?
I know of several soccer officials with three or less years of experience who have opted to become volleyball officials. Pay is comparable, you are inside, and parents and players aren't as radical

And was quite adamant about it not being considered.

McCracken County 7on7 Tournament 7/13 and 1/14
When things like this happen, you always hear the coaches muttering "This is what happens when you take 7 on 7 out of June." Both days were hot. McCracken folks did a great job of running it and communicating.

Dugout chatter.... when is it too much?
I've always wondered why certain conduct is allowed in high school sports but not others. Can you imagine three guys at the free throw line yelling for the free throw shooter to miss it, but they can yell for the batter to swing? What about basketball players meeting in the circle and hugging after every point like they do in volleyball? Or basketball players yelling at the refs the way soccer players are allowed in soccer.

Signs that the "Sweet 16" is Thriving or Declining
There are several factors at play here. First, attendance began to decline when the KHSAA began live-streaming video. I wonder if their sponsorships cover the lost revenue from ticket sales. Second, every year or every other year, there was a good chance of watching a Cinderella story at play. Consolidation and the creation of Super-sized schools eliminates these except for maybe once in a decade. Third, the KHSAA has promoted the Sweet 16 as their 'cash cow' and they now have no choice but to make money. That means jacking up prices for everything. The argument against classification has been it will 'ruin the tradition and experience' of the Sweet 16. Attendance hasn't topped 100,000 since 2011. Three years ago, it was the lowest since the move to Rupp Arena. Fourth, Kentucky kids used to go to UK games and sit in the stands with the hopes of playing at Rupp Arena. Prices for UK games are so high now, most of the kids playing in the Sweet 16 probably never set foot into Rupp until their game. The mystique is dwindling. Fifth, there is so much anti-KHSAA sentiment that there are a lot of people who don't want to go and turn their money over to them. Sixth, penny-pinching on things such as eliminating programs and raising the broadcast fees of the local radio stations isn't helping. They have also changed their relationship with high school coaches and their ticket allotment. It used to be a weekend of networking and in some cases, a reward for underpaid assistants. Schools have not helped with some of their policy changes in allowing coaches to go. Seventh, why not make the Sweet 16 a boys'/girls' combo tournament? Four girls games Monday and Tuesday, four boys games on Wednesday and Thursday. Four girls games on Friday at 9/10:30/12/1:30 and four boys games at 3/4:30/6/7:30. Girls semifinals Saturday at 2/4 and boys at 6/8. Championships Sunday at 1 and 4. It's not just one thing, but cost and live streaming I think are the biggest two obstacles facing the KHSAA.

Ky Ky Tandy
Chris Whitney exceled in college and the pros but was not putting up monster numbers in high school. I think he was a late bloomer. Fred Cowan at Union County and Dwight Smith from Caldwell County are two others that weren't mentioned before

Basketball Classification
If I have a son that plays soccer and a daughter that plays volleyball, why should they accept the fact that a sport they don't participate in decides how the championship of their sport is played? Is that right?
-
Basketball Classification
Three classes in every sport. Like sweet16 said, eight sections or regions for each class. I get that the Sweet 16 is the cash cow for the KHSAA. Just come out and say so. Don't say that it's about preserving tradition.
