Surveys say no shot clock for basketball and no pickleball or girls' flag football for Kentucky schools

Surveys conducted by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association show the vast majority of schools do not want a shot clock for basketball and are not in favor of offering pickleball or girls' flag football.

Of the 252 schools responding to the shot clock survey, 150 or 59.52% are not in favor of adding shot clock in basketball. 

Beginning with the 2022-23 season, the National Federation of High School Associations has allowed states to adopt a shot clock on a state-by-state basis. 

The pickeball survey received 254 replies, and 152 or 59.84% were not interested in adding the sport.

There was even less support for girls' flag football as 166 schools or 65.35% of the 254 respondents said they were not interested in adding the sport which will be sanctioned in Ohio beginning next spring.

Nearly 35% of the schools said they would enter a team in girls' flag football in the near future if offered by the KHSAA15.75% in the 2026-27 season, 9.06% in the 2027-28 season and 9.84% in the 2028-29 season.
