Kentucky is a Football and Offensive Lineman State

The start of April means that March Madness is coming to an end. In Kentucky, high school basketball is a really big deal. Saturday’s semifinal and championship games mark the culmination of the most storied state tournament in the nation. The Bluegrass State’s Sweet 16 is a tournament that is not classed. This means that the tiniest of schools with 100 or so students can be matched up with an opponent with an enrollment that surpasses 3,000. The KHSAA’s showcase is unique and a tradition like no other. Its champions are lauded and go down in commonwealth lore. However, against outsider and some insider’s perception, Kentucky is a football state.
