IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FRIDAY-SATURDAY SESSIONS OF THE BOYS’ SWEET 16®
With the University of Kentucky playing Florida on Saturday afternoon, the KHSAA will be required to completely break down its setup for the Boys’ Sweet 16® following the last game on Friday evening.

The remodeled work area has plenty of power and dedicated internet connections and will allow for reporters to take as long as necessary to compile information and submit to your outlets. No equipment can be left on the arena floor or tables following the last game on Friday night as even the press tables will be almost immediately removed by the Rupp Arena staff to allow for UK and network television setup. Accommodations have been made by the KHSAA and Rupp Arena to secure a storage area where media members can leave their equipment overnight. The area will be monitored 24-7 by a security guard. Following the conclusion of the UK-Florida game, the arena will remain closed to the media and the public until 4:30 p.m. so that the Rupp Arena and KHSAA staff can prepare the arena for the Saturday evening session.

Three-team districts in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball and volleyball will continue to be seeded by rule. However, the districts will decide (by majority vote) if they play each other twice, or once during regular season.

  • For districts that play only once, the only conceivable tie is a three-way tie with each team having a 1-1 record. If that is the case, the district shall be decided by blind draw of those three teams, with the first team drawn being the number one seed.
  • For districts that play twice each year, the system (including tiebreakers) remains the same as it is in 2012-2013.

    • As districts conduct meetings to decide scheduling and site selection plan options for next year and beyond, discussion should include these decisions as well for all that are aligned in a three-team district. District managers will report the information on KHSAA Form GE54.  Discussion should also be held for those that are in a four-team district, in the event that it is felt the viability of one of the teams is in question. Should a four-team district drop to a three-team district due to the loss of a team during the season, the district would automatically become seeded and it is imperative to have made the one or two game decision prior to that time.

    Below is listed the formal wording of the rule within the revised competition rules.

  • For district tournaments with three teams, the district tournament shall be seeded in accordance with the following three-team seeding rules:
  • Through the conclusion of the 2012-2013 school year, teams in three-team districts shall play each other twice during the regular season, with provisions and tie-breakers listed below. Beginning in 2013-2014, the competing teams within a district shall, by majority vote prior to the start of the regular season, determine if the schools are required to play each other once or twice during the regular season. These games will produce a uniform means of ranking the teams by seed within these districts.
  • The team with the highest seed (one seed) receives a bye in the district tournament, and advances to the championship game.
  • The remaining two teams would play in the first round of the district tournament with the loser of that game being eliminated.
  • In the case of a two-way tie for the district winning position, the tie-breaking mechanisms (in order) shall be:
  • In districts that have decided to play each other only once in district play, the winner in the game played between the tied district opponents would have the higher finishing position.
  • In districts that have decided to play each other twice in district play, the winner in the second game played between the tied district opponents would have the higher finishing position.
  • In the case of a three-way tie for the district winning position, the tie would be resolved in the following manner. If any of the tie-breakers results in one of the teams being ahead of the other two, the tie is broken. If any of the tie-breakers result in two teams remaining ahead of the third, then the two-way tie breaker shall be used to determine the winner between those two.
  • In districts that have decided to play each other only once in district play, the tie shall be broken by blind draw. The team drawn first in the draw shall be considered the highest seed (one seed).
  • In districts that have decided to play each other twice in district play, the tie-breaking mechanisms (in order) shall be:
  • If the tie remains between all three teams, the record in the second game played against all district opponents involved in the tie.
  • If the tie remains between all three teams, the record in the first game played against all district opponents involved in the tie.
  • If the tie remains between all three teams, then the total points allowed in all seeded games shall be the next tie-breaker.
  • If the tie remains between all three teams, then the total points allowed in the second of each of the seeded games shall be the next tie-breaker.
  • If the tie is still unbreakable, then a blind draw among the three teams shall break the tie. In this case, the team drawn first in the draw shall be considered the highest seed (one seed)
  • Additional tie-breaking mechanisms could be added, and would be uniform for all three-team districts.
  • In the event of game re-scheduling or cancellation, the original game schedule shall determine which game is “second” for tie-breaking purposes.

    LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) Commissioner Julian Tackett today announced the hiring of Joe Angolia as the organization’s new Communications Director. Angolia brings over 10 years of experience in collegiate athletics at the NCAA Division I level to the position, the last seven of which were spent as the Sports Information Director at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock (UALR). He will  begin his duties at the KHSAA on full-time basis on November 12.

    “We had an overwhelming number of qualified applicants for this position, but felt Joe’s experience and background made him an ideal fit for the KHSAA,” said Tackett. “He brings a wealth of experience in collegiate athletics, managing events and fulfilling media needs, a journalism background as well as a familiarity with the Commonwealth of Kentucky, which will be a tremendous asset to this organization and our membership. Joe will be a valuable member of our leadership team and brings strengths that are very complementary to the talents of our existing staff, as well as allowing him to continue his personal and professional growth as we work to provide opportunities for students.”

    Angolia joins the KHSAA after spending the past seven years as the Sports Information Director at UALR, where he coordinated the day-to-day media relations efforts of a 15-sport NCAA Division I athletic program. In addition to serving as the primary media contact for UALR’s men’s basketball, baseball and golf programs, Angolia also acted as the department’s web master, social media manager and publications coordinator. During the 2010-11 season, UALR was one of just 12 NCAA Division I institutions in the country to have its men’s basketball, women’s basketball and baseball teams qualify for their respective NCAA Tournaments.

    “I am very excited and appreciative of the opportunity given to me by Commissioner Tackett to be the KHSAA’s new Communications Director,” said Angolia. “I am eager to get started and help the KHSAA promote the outstanding accomplishments of its membership and the talented student-athletes across the Commonwealth.”

    In his seven years at UALR, Angolia had the opportunity to serve as the Media Coordinator for two NCAA Division I Basketball Championships. In March of 2008,he served as the Media Coordinator for the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship First-/Second-Round games at Alltel Arena in North Little Rock, Ark. He revised his role as Media Coordinator in March of 2012 for the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship First-/Second-Round games at the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock. He also assisted the Sun Belt Conference by serving as the Statistics Coordinator at the league’s basketball championships each of the past four years.

    Prior to his time at UALR, Angolia spent one year in the sports information department at Eastern Kentucky University and two years at Western Kentucky University. A 1998 graduate of Boyle County High School in Danville, Ky., he went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in communications from Xavier University in 2002. He married the former Rachel Lee in Danville,Ky. in July of 2006.

    DISQUALIFICATIONS DOWN IN 2011-2012 SCHOOL YEAR
    More student-athletes and coaches were able to see the conclusion of their teams’ contests during the 2011-2012 school year.

     A total of 481 student-athletes and coaches were disqualified from contests in the sports of baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball, volleyball and wrestling last year, down from 545 during the 2010-2011 school year. The information was released during the KHSAA Board of Control Meeting on Monday in Lexington.

    Before the 2011-2012 school year the KHSAA Board of Control approved measures stiffening the disqualification to two contests for student-athletes and three for coaches.

    “I don’t think there’s any question the stiffer penalties had something to do with the fewer number of disqualifications we have seen,” said KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett. “Especially in sports such as football, where three games can mean nearly a third of the season, more coaches and student-athletes are stopping to think before they act. If they are doing that, it means the penalties are doing exactly what they are designed to do. Everyone, student-athletes and coaches, must do everything they can to promote good sportsmanship. Boorish behavior and poor sportsmanship have no place and simply will not be tolerated.”
