Following the Board of Control’s approval at its November meeting to revise the format of the State Tennis Singles/Doubles Championships, KHSAA staff have been working to incorporate the new first-round events into the postseason schedule.
For the 2026 season, the region tournament window will be adjusted to May 1-17, giving each region an extra weekend to hold the event if it so desires.

01/26/26 – 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 […]

11/21/25 – Clarification to Weigh-In Procedure
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:
11/10/25 – Girls’ Wrestling OPC, Scrimmage Reminders
With the regular season quickly approaching, please take a moment to review the following reminders.
GIRLS’ OPC
Female wrestlers already assessed in the boys’ season will be copied to your girls’ team roster by Trackwrestling on Nov. 14. This copy is done en masse and can only be completed once per year. To make sure your assessments are ready to be copied over, you should plan on having everything entered by the end of the day on Nov. 13. Once your OPC payment has been made, the student-athletes will be ready to start participating in the girls’ season if they so choose.
After the mass import is completed, any new female wrestler who needs to be assessed must have their data entered into the season in which they will be participating. If a female athlete plans to participate in both the boys’ and girls’ seasons, her assessment data will need to be […]

08/21/25 – State Golf First Round Site Change (Regions 1-4)
After consultation and review with Golf House Kentucky, we feel the need to relocate the State First Round Tournament for Regions 1-4 to Calvert City Country Club for 2025.
We realize some teams may have already made efforts to play at Drake Creek Golf Club this season, but we believe this decision will result in the best experience for all participants. Hopefully, making this announcement now allows teams time to make logistical adjustments as they prepare for the state tournament. We appreciate Drake Creek’s understanding and willingness to be a part of the KHSAA State Championship, and hope to include them in the near future as the site rotation plan is expanded for future years.
Calvert City previously hosted the first round state event in 2023, and we are confident Adam Webb and his staff will do another great job with this year’s tournament, even on short notice.

Once entered into the postseason, the student-athlete shall compete in that division for the remainder of the postseason.

11/15/23 – Girls’ Wrestling Weight Classes and Season Implementation
Today, the Board of Control took action on a recommendation from staff regarding weight classes for girls’ wrestling.
Our office received considerable feedback following the results of the survey conducted earlier this fall, which was directed to the designated representative of each school as required by KHSAA Bylaws, regarding weight classes for girls’ wrestling. The survey resulted in membership preference for the use of 12 weight classes for girls’ competition while utilizing the boys’ weight classes.
After reviewing the concerns that were relayed to our office, we began working to find a solution that would address those concerns and, as much as possible, honor the results of the survey. Last week, following our request, the NFHS accepted an experimental “12 + 1” proposal from our office that will allow us to conduct the girls’ competition with the Federation’s 12 girls’ weight classes while adding an experimental 285-lb. class on the girls’ side for the 2023-24 […]
