I simply looked off this years all-class rankings posted by Chief. And as I look at it I should have said 9 out of 11.

2008-09 Preseason All-Class Ranking:


TEAMS - All-Class
1. Goddard - 6A
2. Derby - 6A
3. Wichita Heights - 6A
4. Clay Center - 4A
5. Bishop Carroll - 5A
6. Smith Center - 321A
7. Emporia - 5A
8. Lansing - 5A
9. Liberal - 5A
10t. Gardner - 5A
10t. Manhattan - 6A

And you are correct we have yet to wrestle to verify this year, but Chief does some pretty accurate research. My point was that to use the bottom end of 6A/5A to justify a merger is not looking at the whole picture when the top end of both 6A and 5A is very strong. Not trying to start a war just trying to defend against the whole "put 6a and 5a together" argument. Either leave them as they are or put them ALL together!
