No, Greenwood did, but same difference. Don't confuse State-Runner Up with 2nd best team in the state. Notre Dame, Newport Catholic both would have beaten Greenwood the way Assumption did. Do you know how many good teams there are in Region 9 that didn't make it to state that would have trounced most of the other Regional winners? Mercy got upset, but that was the only misfire.

Only 6 schools have EVER been crowned champions in the 33 year old state tourney - and they are all in Regions 6,7, and 9. Those regions are full of good teams who don't get a shot. Quit running the tournament on blind draws and geography and let the talented teams in.

Notre Dame and Newport Catholic probably would have beaten Greenwood but nothing like Assumption. I hate to bust your Northern Kentucky Catholic bubble but you are not in the same league as Assumption. They are the premier volleyball program in the nation. Talking about blind draws, are we going to change the basketball, baseball, and softball tournaments also. I do not hear all the public schools in basketball from the 6 and 7 region whining when there are several teams from that area that could win the state every year. A draw like this year has not happened very often so what is the big deal. Most of the time, the two best teams are playing in the finals. Are the private schools so spoiled that they have to have their way on everything. When it got heated a few years ago concerning dividing into public/private and making tighter rules concerning recruiting, they ran whining and crying to their local politicians who, in turn, bullied and blackmailed the KHSAA into leaving everything as is.
