Lexington hosting four KHSAA state championships this week. Here’s how to catch them all.
Over the next two weeks in Lexington, the Kentucky High School Athletic Association will conduct championships in baseball, softball, tennis and track and field.
The glory days are here, but high school athletes don’t play for money or fame.
They play for each other. And they play for a chance to prove themselves to themselves and maybe a few family members and friends along the way.
Here’s a rundown of how you can take in these events. Many offer discounted tickets for advanced sales online.
