I am writing on behalf of the Kentucky Middle School Football Association ("KYMSFA") to report on the 1st Kentucky Middle School Football Conference On Conference State Championship and to thank all of you who have written in support of our effort to organize middle school football. All information on game scores and results of the State Championship can be found at http://www.kymiddleschoolfootball.com.
First let me say that the State Championship was a tremendous success for the 1st year. As indicated by some posts, conferences were limited to eight for the 1st year as season schedules throughout the Commonwealth differ substantially. A balance was struck to permit all regions of the Commonwealth to participate. All schools were contacted during 2007 and early 2008. The conferences that participated, as well as an independent team qualifier (we would select best independent team from record/opponents or by playoff for the bracket spot), all joined the KYMSFA and commited to participate the 1st year. Many teams/conferences wanted in at the last as the State Championship came closer. It was impossible to expand this year based upon the different schedules.
Yesterday represented the best in middle school football. A crowd of all most 4,000 travelled to Lexington to attend the semi-finals and championship games. It was a great day for football. We very much appreciated all of the help and support by the many volunteers that made the event a reality.
We already know for next year that many, many more conferences intend to join and make changes to their schedules/by-laws in order to participate. The 2nd Annual Meeting of the KYMSFA will take place at the Nike Coach Of The Year Clinic in Louisville on February 13-15th. If you are a middle school coach, AD or high school coach and would like to have your program join and be a part of the effort, please complete the registration form at the website. The dues are nominal. Our goal is to make middle school football something special. Yesterday's events supported our belief that something special can take place in football, both on and off the field. We had a magical moment in the lives of everyone that participated..
Should you have any questions, please let us know. KYMSFA President
