Board of Control approves 2013 Sweet Sixteen® Tournament dates

Dates for the 2013 Boys’ and Girls’ Sweet Sixteen® Basketball Tournaments were approved by the KHSAA Board of Control at its regular meeting on Monday.

The 2013 PNC/KHSAA Boys’ Sweet Sixteen® State Basketball Tournament will be scheduled for March 6-9 at Rupp Arena in Lexington. The dates for the PNC/KHSAA Boys’ Sweet Sixteen® were finalized after the NCAA decided on Rupp Arena as a first-round site for the 2013 NCAA Tournament.

“We were happy to work with the University of Kentucky as they worked to be able to host the first round NCAA Tournament games,” said KHSAA Executive Assistant Commissioner Julian Tackett. “The way it worked out we don’t feel this will be a disadvantage to either our boys’ or girls’ basketball tournaments.”

The week of the Houchens Industries/KHSAA Girls Sweet Sixteen® Basketball Tournament remains the same as previous years and is scheduled on March 13-16, 2013.

COMMONWEALTH GRIDIRON BOWL MEDIA CREDENTIAL REQUEST FORMS NOW ONLINE

In an effort to make things more convenient for media members, the KHSAA has implemented a slight change in its credentialing process. Instead of mailing a hard copy of the credential request forms to each media outlet as was done in the past, credential forms for the 2009 Commonwealth Gridiron Bowl are now posted on the KHSAA website in both Microsoft Word and PDF formats.

Please download the form (SI106), fill it out and either fax or email it back to Marilyn Mitchell at (859) 293-5999 or mmitchell@khsaa.org. All outlets wishing to cover the KHSAA Commonwealth Gridiron Bowl must submit a form.
