We also want to respect the requests from member schools for their staff and student-athletes to enjoy the full winter break as originally planned.

Cheer / Dance State Championships Postponed Due to Weather

2025-2026 News Releases

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MEMBER SCHOOLS AND COMPETITIVE CHEER/DANCE PARTICIPATING TEAMS, SCHOOLS, ADMINISTRATORS AND FANS

Due to the onset of the latest round of inclement weather overnight Thursday into Friday morning, and additional snow and ice expected, along with bitterly cold temperatures that will minimise snowmelt, the 2025-26 KHSAA State Competitive Cheer & Dance Championships have been postponed. With more than 100 Cheer squads and nearly 70 Dance squads headed to the state site in Winchester, the safety of participants, coaches, administrators, and parents remains the primary concern around this decision. A compelling factor in this decision is the more than significant number of squads that travel in school buses and vans from districts that have made the difficult decision to cancel classes on Friday to mitigate risk.

The postponed event is now tentatively rescheduled for January 9-11, 2026, at George Rogers Clark High School in Winchester. Following final confirmation of logistical details, additional notifications, including […]

For Your Information

We would like to share an update with our administrators and coaches regarding the status of the 2026 State Cross Country Meet at the Kentucky Horse Park.

11/21/25 – Clarification to Weigh-In Procedure

Athletic Department Blog Updates

In an effort to address issues surrounding weigh-in procedures, meet management shall establish a set time for weigh-ins at each event, rather than a weigh-in “window.”

In past practice, having a window of time for weigh-ins could result in teams arriving at the end of the timeframe, causing delays to the competition start time, bracket changes/redraws, etc.

NFHS Rule 4-5-3 states that “For any event, all contestants shall be present in and remain in the designated weigh-in area at the time established by the meet administration.”

With this in mind, all competitors shall be present at the designated time of weigh-ins, with an emphasis on the following:

  • Weigh-ins do not begin until ALL teams are present. Weigh-ins can proceed either by weight class or on a team-by-team basis.
  • Barring extenuating circumstances (weather, traffic accident, etc.), if a team arrives late, with no communication with the tournament director/event host, they forfeit their opportunity to weigh-in and […]

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: NOV. 13, 2025

    The KHSAA Board of Control conducted its November 13th meeting, the third of the 2025-26 academic year, in Lexington with numerous conversations concerning tennis, soccer, diving, lacrosse and wrestling.

    Significant changes could be coming to boys’ and girls’ individual and doubles tennis state tournaments as the board attempts to address significant facility issues with its current format. The board will evaluate, much like golf, a format that would have those that advance from region tournaments (champions, runners-up and semifinalists) playing at four different satellite venues in the first round of the state tournament. The first-round state events will consist of four sites, with four regions at each site (i.e., Regions 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, and 13-16). The format would create sixteen entrants in brackets at each state first round event.

    11/06/25- Additional Reminder about Weather Shortened and Interrupted Football Games

    Football Blog Updates

    While no one (apparently even professionals) can ever accurately predict the weather, we are again sending this notice from September 5 about interrupted games just in case.

    The only difference now is that we obviously have a hard deadline of this weekend to complete this round of playoffs.

    RESCHEDULING GAMES

    • If your game is rescheduled, it is critical that you submit a revised FB106 form with the new information.
    • We will continue to manage all brackets and information within KHSAA360 (ArbiterSports) and our bracket system once you complete the form.
    • DO NOT CHANGE the information on your own KHSAA360 (ArbiterSports page) as it is important to keep all versions of the schedule and brackets in sync.

    INTERRUPTED GAMES

    Interrupted games are not a new phenomenon and have a well-defined procedure in football, which has remained unchanged for several years. The only items mentioned in this summary are those relevant to the […]
