[Over The Fence]

The KHSAA only recognizes the overall state champion. The All A champoinship is sponsored by an outside entity. In a double elimination, there is no way all teams can play the same amount of games in one day. That is what gives advantage to the early winners. Even the state champions can't go into their first game lightly. As for fatigue, the biggest problem in high school ball is that a coach trains their players to only play one position. When these girls play serious travel ball and college ball, they are expected to play more than one position. If a catcher can trade games with a thrid baseman, there is no fatigue factor.
