Recently, we have had a couple of coaches request clarification regarding the Bluegrass Games and a proposed 7 on 7 competition. Management of the games have worked closely with KHSAA staff to ensure that all applicable rules are followed.
Provided that: the competition is held after the dead period and prior to the first legal date for shoulder pads (August 1 for all schools for 2014), no other equipment is worn, and the heat index guidelines are adhered to, there should be no issues with Kentucky teams participating and such participation does not count against scrimmage limitations.
The Bluegrass games, including football coordinator Ron Mack and BGSG Executive Director Terry Johnson are in constant communication with the association to keep our schools rules compliant and yet offer opportunities to be part of the games. If you have questions or doubts about any of the proposed activities, please feel free to contact the office.

06/06/14 – Statement on Ending of Ashland Blazer-Johnson Central Softball Game
During the 7th inning of game 14 of the Worth/KHSAA State Softball Tournament (a consolation bracket elimination contest) a judgement call was made by the umpiring crew which in hindsight, and upon postgame review by the KHSAA staff, was in error. The situation occurred when Johnson Central’s Rachelle Fairchild hit an apparent game-winning home run, but following a brief conference, the crew of officials declared that the hit was a ground rule double instead of the game-winning home run.
“Following today’s game between Ashland Blazer and Johnson Central, KHSAA staff reviewed news footage of the at-bat which was ruled a ground rule double in the seventh inning. With the benefit of slow motion, high definition video, it is clear that the ball left the park on the fly, and a home run should have been ruled,” said KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett. “Unfortunately, our umpires don’t have technical access to slow motion, high definition video during […]
06/03/14 – Important Memo From NOCSAE re:Virginia Tech Helmet Ratings
NOCSAE has released important information regarding the testing that is being done on helmets at Virginia Tech.

05/21/14 – May, 2014 Board of Control Meeting Review
The following is a review of the items discussed at the May KHSAA Board of Control Meeting and the status of those issues. The Board meets six times per year, and each time, the membership will be updated as far as actions by the Board. While many of them attempt to communicate with you on a regular basis, I also want the schools informed of a consistent summary.

BOARD MEETING – May 12, 2014
The Board meeting began with an appeal from St. Francis of a specific provision oof the Financial Aid Bylaw. After consideration, the motion was made that due to the existence of this program prior to the Bylaw, and the continuation since that time (limits exceeded allowable merit aid limits and thus participation was not permitted) and based on an annual review of the program by the Board, the waiver […]

In a related matter, the Board of Control established the pairings for 2015 ONLY for Class 6A to mirror the other classes, and will continue discussion and deliberation on postseason pairings at future meetings. Multiple member schools in Class 5A had made a request to begin playoff pairing rotation, but this issue will not be addressed until a further determination is made regarding Class 6A.

04/30/14 – April 2014 Board of Control Meeting Review
The following is a review of the items discussed at the April KHSAA Board of Control Meeting and the status of those issues. The Board meets six times per year, and each time, the membership will be updated as far as actions by the Board. While many of them attempt to communicate with you on a regular basis, I also want the schools informed of a consistent summary. All documents related to this meeting can be found online at http://portal.ksba.org/public/Agency.aspx?PublicAgencyID=4374&AgencyTypeID=1&BeginDate=04-1-2014&EndDate=4-30-2014
BOARD MEETING – April 15, 2014
The Board meeting began with a presentation from Karl Schmitt and Greg Fante, representing the Greater Louisville Sports Commissioner. Both were emphatic about the city’s desire to work with the Association and return some of the KHSAA championships to the state’s largest city.
That presentation was followed by a presentation from the iHigh staff with a report on external corporate sales. The Board then recessed to conduct committee meetings.

Update The Middle School Advisory Committee is being re-tooled following the departure and retirement of several members immediately prior to and during the current pandemic. This page will be updated in the the fall of 2023 with revised membership.04/15/14 – Middle School Regulation-Repeating Students, Age
As part of its required charge, the Middle School Advisory Committee has recommended the change below to the Kentucky Board of Education. The change was approved through two readings of the Kentucky Board of Education, and is slated for final consideration by the General Assembly (Administrative Regulations Review Subcommittee) in June, 2014.
Below is the text of the relevant portion of the regulation. It is important to note that the regulation change has a phase-in date in 2015-2016, however the regulation is not final until approved by the Kentucky General Assembly through its committees.
(7) Beginning with the 2015-2016 school year and thereafter, require that no student enrolled initially in grade (5) through grade (8) during the 2015-2016 school year or thereafter who is repeating a grade for any reason be eligible to compete in interscholastic competition involving students enrolled in grades six (6) through eight (8) while repeating a grade;
04/16/14 – Scheduling Grid for 2015-2018, Week 0
Because of the scheduling moratorium, the scheduling grid for 2015-2018 was not originally included in the material released yesterday. It is imperative that you remember that because changes could still be made to the alignment before it is adopted, that you not sign contracts for games to be played 2015 and beyond. These changes could result from the feedback requested of the membership and related responses considered by the Board of Control at its May meeting.
However, several schools have indicated a desire to conduct tentative scheduling meetings in the next few weeks. Therefore, the tentative scheduling grid for 2015-2018 has been posted on the page with the other realignment information. Go to www.khsaa.org, click on Sports/Activities, Football, Football Alignment, Realignment Information, 2015-2018 Alignment/Realignment Information, Football General Realignment 2015-2018.
Several have also questioned whether Week 0 will be available during the next realignment period. As of now, there has been no proposal passed by […]

04/15/14 – Football Draft Alignment Information and Feedback
Throughout this school year, the Board of Control Team Sports Committee has been conducting discussions and working with staff on finalizing a draft alignment of schools for the 2015 through 2018 playing seasons. The Board has authorized me to release a draft of schools divided into districts for play during the 2015 through 2018 seasons.
All of the information relative to the realignment is located at http://khsaa.org/football-alignmentrealignment-information/. Select the 2015-2018 alignment/realignment menu to review maps and other related data.The draft alignment is listed at http://khsaa.org/041514-football-draft-alignment-of-teams-2015-2018/
Let me give you a brief summary of the Board’s discussions and where things stand as of now:
04/10/14 – Reminders about Title IX and Participation List Submission Due April 30
As spring sports are now fully in swing, it is time to remind each of you that the annual reports for Title IX and the Participation List are due on April 30.
- If you have specific questions about Title IX and the law itself, any of our Assistant Commissioners should be able to help get you some assistance. Asst. Commissioner Darren Bilberry is our primary contact for your questions related to the law and its interpretations.
- Information Technology Director Rob Catron as well as almost any of our support staff can help you with electronic issues including login and report preparation using the online system. The online system will have entry available beginning on Monday, April 14.
Again this year, based on feedback from the membership and members of our Athletic Directors Advisory Committee, there have been several system changes to make this task easier. Here are the highlights:

04/09/14 – Roster Maintenance, 2014 Title IX/Participation Entry
Later this week, the balance of the reporting mechanisms will be released regarding this year’s Title IX and participation reports. These reports are required of ALL KHSAA member schools annually. There are two important reminders and items schools may be working on in advance of the final report release which will greatly expedite the completion of the required work.
ROSTER REVIEW
Though there is a formal and technical part of roster review as a component of the reports, a minor revision has been made in the menuing system that can help you maintain your data on an ongoing basis, and not have to do everything at the last minute.
On the school login menu, under the heading “Student Athlete Rosters”, and the command that says “Maintain Specific Team Rosters”, the code has been revised to clearly show you teams that need addressing. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have a team in a sport and a level, […]
04/07/14 – Positive Changes on the Catastrophic Insurance Front
As most of you who are involved in purchasing athletic insurance for districts or schools are aware, the market remains very tough for this specialized type of coverage. For more than 30 years, the most visible benefit to membership in the KHSAA has been the Catastrophic Insurance that is provided to all member schools and funded by the membership dues. As a matter of fact in recent years, the premiums for insurance paid by the Association total almost exactly the same as the total dues received, making it a smart volume purchase for the membership. This excess insurance policy currently has a deductible of $25,000, and each student is required to have basic coverage up to that deductible in order to be eligible to play sports and sports activities per an order of the Kentucky Board of Education approximately twenty years ago.
We are pleased to report that our broker, RJ (Bob) Roberts out if […]
03/31/14 – Important Survey Available Concerning Swimming Facilities
It has been nearly twenty years since a complete facility inventory/assessment has been conducted in our state regarding competitive swimming pools and available resources for high school competitions. As swimming continues to grow, it is important that we have accurately identified the location of all of the competitive swimming facilities available to KHSAA member schools.
With that in mind, we are asking one person from each school to complete the online survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/20132014swimdive on or before Monday, April 21, 2014. The data will be used for future research into regional site selection, alignment of teams and the maintenance and growth of the sport.
If you have questions regarding the survey, please contact Assistant Commissioner Darren Bilberry at the KHSAA.

02/18/14 – Phase 1 of Title IX Reports for 2014 include New Historical Matrix (T-2 Chart) and T35 Revisions
The initial phase of entry for the 2013-2014 Title IX Reports is available and online at schools.khsaa.org. There have been several enhancements this year based on the tour of regional meetings last fall and the great cooperation and feedback from the membership.
HISTORICAL TEAM MATRIX
A major change to help the membership is with the T2 form data. Previously, questions were asked regarding the T2 and the addition of new sports that required research and data collection each year. With the rapid turnover in ADs and Principals, the data received on the T2 form, which helps a school assess its potential compliance with Test 2 of Title IX, was inaccurate at best. To help with this problem, a new form is added that must be completed by each school ONLY ONCE and then the historical data will be built. This is titled the “Historical Team Matrix”. Each school will go fill this form out, indicating […]

For nearly a year, the KHSAA staff has been working and preparing for the upcoming state wrestling tournament. After evaluating the last three to four years of tournament schedules and activity, three major problem areas were identified that needed immediate resolution:
- The “break” prior to the last wrestling round had to be eliminated, or certainly minimized. The circus atmosphere that had developed, which some may have viewed as fun, in fact resulted in at least five individuals being hit by thrown objects, including two police officers. Coaches and other adults refused to take charge of the situation, and in fact participated in many cases. And despite having more than double the security staff as had ever been in place in the previous facility, the situation came to a point where the future ability to retain security assistance from trained and sworn police officers was in jeopardy, as well as the future use of this […]
