The Kentucky High School Athletic Association Board of Control on Wednesday approved changes in the mercy rules for soccer and football.
A soccer match will end early when a team takes an eight-goal lead after halftime. The previous mercy rule was a 10-goal margin.
The running clock in football will begin when a team takes a 35-point lead, one point less than the previous rule.
The changes were announced in a press release from the KHSAA.
The press release also said the Board of Control could take possible action at a later meeting on region realignment for basketball and other alignment-related sports.
The release said if it happens, the realignment would be during the 2024-25 school year and would go into effect in the 2025-26 school year.
