The schedule for the 2020 KHSAA state football championships has now been set. Officials with the Kentucky High School Athletic Association announced the schedule Tuesday afternoon.
Following the Board of Control meeting on November 18th, the KHSAA has worked to finalize the order of games for the 2020 UK Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine State Football Finals. The games will be played Friday, December 18th and Saturday, December 19th at Kroger Field with three games on each day.
The order of games and times for this year’s championship games will be:
Friday, December 18
11 a.m. – 1A Championship
3 p.m. – 2A Championship
7 p.m. – 4A Championship
Saturday, December 19
11 a.m. – 3A Championship
3 p.m. – 5A Championship
7 p.m. – 6A Championship
As approved by the KHSAA Board of Control during its November meeting, there are provisions in place should a team withdraw once the playoffs reach the fourth round of play.
If one team from a game withdraws by Wednesday at 6am, the team defeated in the prior round by the withdrawing team is offered the opportunity to replace that team. If the team defeated in the prior round declines, the other losing team in that pod is offered the opportunity to replace the withdrawn team. Withdrawals after that point are not replaced.
Fourth round matchups will be determined by the RPI on a statewide basis in all classes, with the highest remaining seed hosting the fourth-highest remaining seed, and the second-highest remaining seed hosting the third-highest remaining seed.
