Lexington, KY- The Kentucky High School Athletic Association and World Wrestling Entertainment have entered into a five-year marketing agreement that was approved this morning by the KHSAA Board of Control. Under the guidelines of the agreement, the WWE will now manage and market all state championships sanctioned by the KHSAA. The agreement will call for complete control by the WWE as they established new rules and guidelines that will govern the KHSAA sanctioned sports.

 

The initial move by the WWE was to market the changes in the 2006 KHSAA Football Championships. A blind draw was conducted yesterday to establish a new format for the state championships. In the draw, all Class A and AAA championships will continue to play the regions they have opposed in past seasons. However, Class AA and AAAA teams find themselves in a mixed-bag format that will pit all major private schools against each other prior to the state championship games. Ideas for future consideration included a "tag-team" format that will permit a team to replace itself with another squad during the first three quarters of any playoff game. "We believe this idea will allow us to keep teams alive that the public really wants to see," said KHSAA Board of Control member Rip Offenhemier. The Board is continuing to look at re-classification for 2007, with the latest proposal outlining a proposed 120 class system which would provide a similar number of state champions as we currently have national champions in cheerleading.

 

Rumors were wild after the Board of Control meeting. While we can not confirm what changes are to be made, there is speculation that all private school swimmers will now swim with a weighted vest, all track relays will be replaced by three-legged races, and golfers from odd number regions will only be permitted to carry odd number irons and even numbered regions will carry even numbered irons in their bags.

 

Changes in basketball and soccer are not expected to be major because no one would dare touch basketball in Kentucky and there have never been rules in place for soccer anyway!

What a response!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have made my day, thank you. I am still laughing!

Oldbird,

Why "might" supporting a 6 class system make me a hypocrite? Might is an awful vague term.

As long as the U.S. Constitution is the law of the land, then you may have an opinion. In fact, I would go as far as saying that your opinion is encouraged in our democratic nation. This is a fact demonstrated by your 21,000 post on this web site.

To continue the line of questioning, if I supported Prop 20 would I also be a hypocrite? Could I support Prop 20 while maintaining a non hypocritical stance?

I am not sure on the nauseating part, since you asked.

The enitre issue, which is being debated, is about people's "opinions" of equity.

What is fair and equitable to you, may make others nauseated. Whether there are 3, 4, 6, or 8 classes, football will still be played on Fridays. Young men will still compete to be the best whether you, or anyone else for that matter, decide to increase classes or decrease classes. My State Championship ring will feel no less special as the class 6A champ or the class 1A champ, whether the private champ or public champ.

One other question, Oldbird, if I am in favor of 6 classes does that make me a hypocrite? I am confused.

The hypocracy of those in favor of multiple classes (and propl 20, but that is another issue) is nauseating.

I don't understand this comment. Just because someone doesn't have the same opinion as you doesn't mean you should be nauseated. If you are, I hope you keep a strong anti-acid on hand.

Antonio Thomas- Fairdale High School versus Iroquois in 2000.

Nelson County 1996. Defeated Henderson County in the Regionals, Trinity in the Semi's and Paul Dunbar in the finals. The team was never ranked and was a huge underdog, according to the LIT ratings, in every game.
