Holiday Greetings to all of you!
We understand that coaches are working on their schedules for next season and have questions about dates and numbers of games to schedule. The KHSAA does have that information already published in the 2014-2015 handbook so we wanted to share those links with schools.
The competition rules explain that teams will be allowed 24 games next season.

At this time we are still working with Bellarmine on the State Tournament dates. We will keep you abreast of any changes that may be necessary. Also, the Apple tournament was moved back a week, so the start of season appears to be early.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 9, 2014
Following the conclusion of the Corbin vs. Central playoff contest on November 21, the KHSAA has received several inquiries regarding a penalty assessed near the end of the game.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 8, 2014
The KHSAA has assessed sanctions against a crew of five football officials and an adjustment to the schedule for future playoff assignments for the local association involved, following a misapplication of the playing rules in the semifinal round playoff game between DeSales and Murray on November 28.
