The 2014 championships had been relocated to Roy Kidd Stadium in Richmond for the first time since 1995 and proved to hold a multitude of surprises. In class 1A, Williamstown finally reclaimed the title from defending champion Beechwood, with Murray and Hazard in third and fourth, respectively. In class 2A, Garrard County won its first ever state championship after being reclassified from 3A, with other previous 2A competitors Washington County and Trigg County in third and fourth, respectively. Estill County also made its first ever finals appearance and claimed the second place spot. In class 4A, Madisonville North-Hopkins claimed its tenth consecutive championship, trailed by Grant County, Anderson County, and John Hardin. The biggest upsets occurred in classes 3A and 5A. In class 3A, neither Adair or Bourbon County claimed the championship for the first time since 2004. Instead, Russell County won its championship under the new KMEA format. In class 5A, Madison Central became the third school to win a class 5A championship, trailed by Lafayette, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and North Hardin.
