The All A Classic state tournament will stay at Eastern Kentucky University throughout 2013, but the small-school tournament received bids from three other cities — Frankfort, Corbin and Pikeville. The latter two were eliminated based on geography and lack of hotel rooms for teams and fans, but Frankfort's bid received serious consideration.
Community Christian boys' coach and athletic director B.B. Kendrick, the First Region's representative on the All A Classic board, said the state tournament will move back a week next year to accommodate Eastern, which has two home games scheduled during the last week of January next year.
The regional tournament will keep its customary place on the schedule, the third full week of January. Regional champions will have a week or more of preparation time for next year's state tournament instead of hastily arranging transportation and scrambling for scouting reports.
• Two Murray Lady Tigers, forward Haley Armstrong and point guard Janssen Starks, made the all-tournament team. Because they're so young (Armstrong is a sophomore and Starks is a freshman), they could become fixtures on the all-tournament team if Murray is able to make return trips in 2011 and 2012.
