When you have teams less than 20 miles apart playing one another for a state championship something is wrong. The seeding I can see to a degree but the geographical alignment in Louisville especially is fixed so area Louisville teams can play one another for a state championship. Sure it’s the best 2 teams I agree but they should be in the same district playing one another rather than a state championship. Just my opinion.

They used to have a system that would be what you ask for. Until the late 70's or so, there was an "At Large State Champion" in the old 4A and a "Jefferson County Champion." Then the two played in the "Overall State Championship Game."

KHSAA decided that was a little ridiculous because the 2nd best team might be in Jefferson County. The truth is that "nothing is fixed." Each of these 6A teams had to be others from the state that made it that far. The problem is that there aren't too many great programs in the state outside of Louisville because of population base.

When the two best teams play I don't think it matters where they are from.
