Does anyone know
for sure
what year the FIRST Kids State Tournament was held? We are thinking prior to 1978.
If so, please post ...
Thanks,
Leanna

Not sure about 1st but I think 1978 State was at Ft Hays State, and 1977 it was at Wichita State.

Leanna, you might want to cross-post this question to the high school forum. Chances are more likely someone over there will know.

I am pretty sure the first official kids state was in 1974, in Manhattan. Ben Bennett was the state director and organizer.
1975 and 1976 were in Wichita, if I remember correctly.
