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.

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.

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.
