Reply to "Number of State Champions in your State"

In Kentucky, there is only one state baseball champion sanctioned by KHSAA.  There are sixteen geographically organized regions of about 15 to 20 schools.  No regard is given to school enrollment nor whether the schools are public or private. Each region is divided into four districts that hold a single-elimination bracket.

The district champions and runners-up advance to a regional tournament of eight teams, where a draw determines that bracket.  Each district champion must draw a district runner up (not their own).  A district's champion and runner-up are forbidden from a rematch until the region final. This regional round is single elimination and the sixteen regional champions advance to a single-elimination state tournament.  A blind draw determines the state tournament matchups.  One weekend the first two rounds of state are played, and the next weekend the state semifinals and finals are played to crown the one state champion.

There are unofficial A and AA state baseball tournaments held during the season.  They are not sanctioned by the KHSAA.  A team could be the A state champion and the KHSAA state champion in the same season.
