Calling it "a really unusual situation," Kentucky High School Athletic Association Commissioner Julian Tackett last week told members of the KHSAA Board of Control about the 37th District's decision to play the boys' 10th Region basketball tournament at Holmes High School in Covington this year.
"We have four schools in the, if I remember this right, it's the 37th District," Tackett said. "Two of them are located in Kenton County and two of them are not, and they decided to hold the tournament in the biggest gym in Kenton County which is Holmes High School. Holmes doesn't happen to be in the 10th Region, and some of the other people have objected to that. But it is a big, neutral facility located in Kenton County, and therefore we don't have anything to keep that from happening. We've had people ask us to intercede. They're the very group that wanted to do it where every year the districts rotated who hosted, who got to pick. And, again, one of those things where you don't always what you want. But that's where the 10th Region is going to be for this year."
Tackett made the comments at the KHSAA Board of Control work session on Wednesday.
March 2, 3, 7 and 8 are the dates for the boys' 10th Region Tournament.
