And, for the fourth year, in a row, the Worst Idea Associated with High School Football in Kentucky award goes to those who decided that a state with no more than 20 very strong football programs should award six state championships instead of four, thus preventing the sort of match-ups (Mayfield v. Newport Central Catholic, Lou. Central v. Highlands) that would have made this weekend's playoffs worth watching.

Now, on to basketball!
