01/24/25 – Wrestling Postseason Updates
The KHSAA wanted to update member schools about Wrestling postseason dates and sites.
While maintaining two seasons in Trackwrestling presents challenges for coaches and administrators, it is imperative that member schools continue to be diligent in maintaining accurate rosters in both TrackWrestling and Arbiter. Coaches should be listed and properly assigned in Arbiter to the teams they work with, as that list will be utilized for coaching passes in the postseason, and should meet all Bylaw 25 requirements.
Female student-athletes have a choice of which postseason to enter (Boys/Coed or Girls) but cannot enter both due to weight management/class requirements and the concurrence of the championship events. Any female entered in the girls’ postseason may not also be entered in the boys’ tournament, and vice versa. Once entered into the postseason, the student-athlete shall compete in that division for the remainder of the postseason.
Female student-athletes desiring to enter the girls’ wrestling postseason should have […]

1/17/25 – Lacrosse Postseason Update
The KHSAA Board of Control met yesterday and approved a revision to the postseason format for boys’ and girls’ lacrosse. Under the updated format, both the regional champion and runner-up will now qualify for the state tournament. The bracketing system will remain unchanged from the plan approved in November, which includes two region pairings where the winner of one region faces the runner-up from another region in the first round. These region pairings will rotate annually, similar to the format used in boys’ volleyball.
The inclusion of regional runner-up teams will add an additional round to the state tournament. In Round 1, the regional champions will host the runner-up from the opposite region, and the winners will advance to the quarterfinals. Winners will play at the higher seed for the quarterfinals if the seeds are not the same. If both teams share the same seed, the lower-numbered region will host the quarterfinal match for […]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JAN. 13, 2025
The first official KHSAA Ratings Percentage Index rankings for the 2024-25 basketball season have been posted.
Initial RPI rankings can be found through the links below:

RPI rankings are updated on an hourly basis but are not calculated for teams with missing scores from the previous day. Therefore, it is essential for results to remain comprehensive for accuracy.
