Someone's wrong somewhere, it seems. I wasn't at the press conference so I'm taking what has been released as accurate. It's possible that ihigh.com added the info believing it to be accurate or maybe even KHSAA have it incorrect. Either which way, the fact that Kentucky has added the sport can only be good for schools.

My guess is that the ihigh story jumped the gun a little bit. From talking to people involved today, including the operations manager at FLW who is helping these states get the program off the ground, Tennessee is adding it, but hasn't made it official yet. Of course, it really doesn't matter as long as we are recruiting young people into the sport, that is what is important.
