PrintINFORMATION UPDATE
- Apologies in advance for the delay in getting this information to you. Everything was ready just after midnight but there was one single non-submitted score that delayed finalizing everything, including tiebreakers, etc. That score wasn’t received until early this morning. But all should be accurate now.
OFFICIALS AVAILABILITY AND GAME SCHEDULING
- THANK YOU to those schools that cooperated and either voluntarily scheduled on Thursday or Saturday. We could not manage this week without cooperation.
- From this point, ANY Friday night game will only have five officials. If you desire 7, select Thursday or Saturday.
- Most of the matchups were determined more than a week ago, and thanks to the nearly 65% of you who got your information submitted this week.
PLAYOFF INSTRUCTIONS
- Though the instructions have been on the KHSAA website for several weeks, some are just now realizing they need them.
- See the complete fall instructions link at https://ly.khsaa.org/tm2q
- The first section of those instructions (numbered through page 11) is the general instructions applicable to all championships.
- As football is the final fall championship, those instructions are near the end.

WITHDRAWAL FROM PLAYOFFS
- Two teams, Ballard Memorial and Pendleton County, withdrew prior to the finalized brackets. As such, they will continue to participate in district play in 2024..
- If such withdrawal is made after this point and standings in all classes are final, the school will be withdrawn from this year’s playoffs, and ineligible for district play in 2024.
- In addition, the loss after bracket formation will be recorded as a forfeit loss.
