10//24/23- Football Playoffs Update
The following is to update schools regarding the 2023 Football Playoffs, with particular emphasis on Rounds 1-4.
OFFICIALS AVAILABILITY AND GAME SCHEDULING
Last week, we held a conference call with our assigners, with the following data gleaned from that call.
- Clearly, they feel comfortable with assigning, at most, between 85 and 88 crews for the first round if all contests had five officials. We have 95 games currently scheduled.
- Simply put, we will need to have some schools play on Thursday night or Saturday night if we are going to be able to ensure that full crews of officials are assigned.
- And be mindful that last year, we had 20 schools desire a full crew of seven officials for the first round.
- Simply put, the supply/demand equation is not balanced right now.
- We have around 80 first-year officials and for the most part, the assigners are not as comfortable with those officials in […]

10/17/23- Wrestling Schools Reminded about Needed Information, Girls’ Wrestling; Wrestling Survey Results
ROSTER UPDATE
Member schools are reminded that if you are going to compete in Girls’ Wrestling in competition against other girls’ wrestling teams, it is imperative that the School Control Panel be updated to indicate that you will be doing such. Much information will need to be gathered from those schools as postseason logistics are formulated. It is the staff’s intention to have a model near final to report this data to the Board of Control at their November meeting as this first year of an implemented championship in girls’ wrestling is executed. Such things as qualifying rounds and sites cannot be determined until there is a realistic estimate of those schools competing.
In addition, schools are reminded that (per the notice earlier this month at https://ly.khsaa.org/ndaa), the rosters for girls’ competition and boys’ competition are separate. In the case of a girl who competes in girls-only competition AND boys/coed competition, be sure they […]

We hope these scholarships help cover the ever-rising cost of higher education for those striving for excellence in athletics and agriculture.”
To qualify, student-athletes must be Kentucky farmers or involved in agriculture; must be graduating seniors in high school; and must be accepted to a college, university, or trade school following graduation. […]
10/16/23- REMINDER- KHSAA to Again Conduct Title IX Meetings, See Registration for 2023-2024
The KHSAA will be conducting two Title IX Webinars for 2023-24 via Zoom. Due to the geographic disparity of those schools being audited this year, it is a positive membership service to conduct these remotely this year.

10/06/23- Football Playoff Schedule Request and Football RPI Clarification and Clean-up
FOOTBALL PLAYOFF SCHEDULING REQUEST
As teams start qualifying for the playoffs, we are asking for schools’ help in scheduling, especially in the first round. As all are aware, our supply of officials is not at the levels we were during the early 2000s when we had abundant numbers. Many of our associations, including some of our larger groups, have struggled to return to even their pre-COVID legals in terms of numbers. As such, staffing that first round which is always difficult, is likely very problematic, especially if all teams insist on trying to play on the same Friday night. Our assigners are very conscious of the need to only use those that feel are “playoff ready”, and really need your help on these dates.
There are distinct advantages to playing on Thursday or Saturday that negate the usual concerns about different preparation weeks, etc. Teams seem to be very adept at moving games during fall […]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: OCT. 3, 2023
The Kentucky High School Athletic Association introduced the newest addition to its staff on Tuesday with the hiring of Supervisor of Officials Licensing Scott Bottoms.
“Scott Bottoms brings an abundance of experiences to this newly created position within the Association” said KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett. “He excelled on the courts, and frankly, in the business world, but more importantly, he brings the right demeanor and enthusiasm to the position.
“He will be vital in advancing our implementation of several new initiatives to help garner more officials and retain many of those having second thoughts about continuing with today’s contest environment,” Tackett said. “And though the KHSAA does not employ officials or supervise their game-by-game activities, we will be able to use his expertise to streamline processes and make a concerted effort to ensure no contests fail to be played due to a lack […]

9/28/23- Wrestling Class Survey Issued for Member Schools
As authorized by the Board of Control through the Commissioner’s office, member schools are requested to respond to two surveys regarding wrestling weight classes for girls’ competitions. Bylaw 22, Sec. 5 of the KHSAA Bylaws requires the Association expressly to use NFHS playing rules in sports for which those rules are written and the KHSAA sponsors a championship. Therefore, the events cannot by rule be run in the manner that prior events were run, including the past events managed by KWCA, with a hybrid set of weight classes and the KHSAA must conform to NFHS rules. The survey must be received by the close of business on October 12, 2023.
SURVEY VOTE ONE
The first survey requests the Designated Representative (per Bylaw 1) of each wrestling school to select between 12, 13 and 14 weight classes. A preliminary survey in 2021 has 35 schools select 12 weight classes, 33 select 14 weight classes and 11 […]
