Four (Or More) Time State Champions in College = Kentucky

 Kentucky is one of those states where 7th & 8th graders can enter high school state competition. I know in the minds of some it's not fair that some only have 4/4 opportunities to win four titles while others have 6 opportunities to win four titles. I get that. I also know old timers argue that some states have allowed freshmen post season eligibility a lot longer than other states. That also makes a huge difference. I'm not oblivious to these factors. However the series does concentrate on four or not time state champions & I'm going to stick with that. 

Secondly, like Kansas, information on Kentucky was rather cryptic, at least from what I could find. I am very confident I ever all of the four timers  up to 2012.  12'-22' though I'm not 100% sure. I could be missing some.
