March 11, 2026 Athletic Department Blog Updates

Due to the majority of our school districts in the state taking Spring Break the week of 4/6, and the fact that the opening rounds of this year’s spring playoffs were scheduled during that week, we have adjusted the postseason schedule (the rest of the Kentucky Districts’ spring breaks fell into the previous week of 3/30).

What this means:

• There will be no matches scheduled during the week of 4/6 (this primarily affected Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as they are 64- and 32-team brackets, respectively).
• The schedules for these two titles have been compressed, with their quarterfinal rounds now scheduled for the week of our in-person state championships (still set for Thursday, April 23).
• Important:  Because of this shift, there will be a tight turnaround before the April 23 in-person championships, so any necessary reschedules that may come up for schools (sick players, weather, etc.) must be done on the PlayVS platform and completed before the next round (e.g., a rescheduled Top 16 round must play before the next Top 8 round begins).

As a reference, this was the original schedule:

This is the revised schedule:
