Press Release from the Christian County School System
HOPKINSVILLE, KY (January 20, 2023). The Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s Board of Control recently approved a Christian County Public Schools request for Christian County High School football to participate in Class 6A beginning the 2023 playing season. Christian County High School will be assigned to Class 6A, District 1 along with Daviess County, Henderson County, and McCracken County.
CCPS made the request, for the move into Class 6A, to align with the consolidation of Christian County High School and Hopkinsville High School beginning in the 2024 playing season. Football contracts are two-year contracts. By Christian County High School moving to 6A for the 2023 playing season contracts can be honored for both years, while allowing teams contracted with HHS ample time to find replacement games for the 2024 season.
For the 2023 playing season, Christian County High will play the 6A, District 1 schedule. This schedule will continue to be played in 2024 during the inaugural season of the consolidated high school. Hopkinsville High School football will compete, for their final season, in Class 4A, District 1 along with Allen County-Scottsville, Calloway County, Logan County, Paducah Tilghman, and Warren East.
Complete 2023 schedules for both teams will be released at a later date. The final football game between Christian County High School and Hopkinsville High School is scheduled for September 1, 2023, at 7:00 PM at the Stadium of Champions.
