The Kansas Jayhawks baseball team is having a standout season, and that success may just shake up the high school state tournament schedule. With a stellar 38-15 record, KU is projected as a potential No. 1 seed to host an NCAA Regional at Hoglund Field in Lawrence—right when the state high school baseball championships are set to take place.
The Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) has a solid backup plan ready to go. If the Jayhawks are selected to host an NCAA Regional, the Class 4A, 3A, and 2-1A state semifinals and championship games will move to Manhattan. The new venue? Kansas State University's Tointon Family Stadium, a familiar and trusted site for high school baseball, having hosted Class 3A action just last season.
The schedule remains the same: May 27-29. The NCAA will announce site selections on May 24, so the decision is just days away. For now, both venues are listed as potential hosts, with Hoglund Field as the primary option and Tointon Family Stadium as the ready-made alternative.
This potential shift highlights the growing excitement around Kansas baseball and the strong relationship between college and high school sports in the state. Whether the games stay in Lawrence or move to Manhattan, fans can expect top-tier baseball action from the state's best high school teams.
