How to follow the 2019 Kentucky high school softball state tournament
The 2019 KHSAA State Softball Tournament is scheduled for June 14-16 at the University of Kentucky’s John Cropp Stadium in Lexington.
This year’s state tournament consists of eight teams — half that of recent state tournaments — which earned berths by virtue of wins in a semi-state round played June 1. It also for the first time is a single-elimination event.
