The KHSAA Board of Control voted Monday to begin playing the Sweet 16 state championship basketball games for boys and girls on Sunday beginning next year. In a news release, Commissioner Julian Tackett said separating the championship game from the semifinals makes an event on Saturday for the final four teams.
Tackett also said the added day gives participants the chance for proper rest and allows coaches to have adequate time for preparation. This year’s Boys Sweet 16 title game was played on Sunday because of a scheduling conflict at Rupp Arena, with more than 17 thousand fans coming to the championship game, the most since 2009.
The board also voted to move the KHSAA State Volleyball championship match to Sunday beginning with the new school year. Volleyball is currently the only sport that plays three complete rounds in the winner’s bracket in the same day at the state tournament.

In 24 contests, Noel average 10.5 points per game, led the SEC in rebounding at 9.5 per contest and led the nation in blocked shots with just over four per game. Noel is considered one of the top prospects and could be the number one pick in June’s draft.
