Last year there were near 80 teams in the 8th Grade KBA tournament. There may only be six listed, but I promise there will be a full field by the time the tournament begins.
The 6th Grade this year had 48 teams, which was similar to last year.
The 7th Grade this year has 54 teams, which is a little down from last year I think. I kinda remember there being 60 some teams last year.
There is not a playoff to get to the KBA tournament. You just register, play your pool games, get slotted into your bracket and play it out.
It may not be a true State Tournament, but it is impressive to win a tournament with 48, 54, or more teams.
The sixth grade tournament had teams from Eastern Kentucky, Northern Kentucky, Louisville, and all over Central Kentucky and Lexington.
The 7th grade I recall has teams from Mayfield and Leitchfield.
I would love to see more teams from Western Kentucky participate, but understand the travel issues. Last years 8th grade championship came from Western Kentucky... I think
