Some schools made the switch sooner than others.
I know for a fact that my high school played 6 on 6 through my senior season, and at the time there was no word of an impending change. My freshman year of college, they announced the change. The beautiful and gifted one assures me that her high school played 6 player ball her senior year of school, which was 1993.
The
Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union has a list of all tournament results since 1920. 1993 was the last year they had 6 player champions.
I was incorrect about the start of 5 player. The first 5 player state tournament for girls was the spring of 1985.
