05/22/25 – Class 1A Region 1 Running Events to be Rerun
Due to a variety of meet, administrative and technical errors with the timing and results process, all Class 1A Region 1 running events must be rerun.
The KHSAA office and state meet officials, including the software company, have conducted a lengthy review to try and solve the issues and find an alternative solution. Unfortunately, none of the running events were timed in the correct format. Accurate performance records are not available or able to be reconstructed, dramatically reducing alternative options. We have also consulted with the NFHS to be certain that the final determination is compliant with Federation rules. With at-large state qualifiers at stake, it is also vital to ensure fairness and transparency for the other six regions in Class 1A.
After an emergency Zoom meeting with the member schools in the region, it has been determined that the best path forward is for the meet to be […]
05/22/25 – NFHS Announces Basketball Playing Rule Changes
Goaltending, Basket Interference Addressed in 2025-26 Basketball Rules Changes
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INDIANAPOLIS – A trio of changes to address when goaltending and basket interference are called are among the changes to high school basketball rules for the 2025-26 season.
These revisions to the NFHS Basketball Rules Book are among the six changes recommended by the Basketball Rules Committee during its April 28-30 meeting in Indianapolis, all of which were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.
Rule 4-22-3 has been added to indicate that a ball is considered to be on its downward flight once it contacts the backboard on a legitimate shot attempt. Therefore, it is goaltending if a defensive player touches the ball after it contacts the backboard. Prior to this change, an official determined if a shot attempt was still ascending and out of the cylinder before goaltending could be called.
“By establishing that a ball is considered […]
