Statistically speaking, 5A and 6A have more students to choose form and 4A has more schools. Between the two, it probably balances out and some weights are tougher in 4A, while others are tougher in 5A or 6A. Regarding the statement of depth in the top 6, look at 189

At the Eudora tourn early in the season at 189, the top 3 placers were:

1st Place:Nathan Wessel (Ls) 5A
2nd Place:Brett Newell (BV) 6A
3rd Place:Dylon Walker (El) 4A

Walker finished 5th at state in 4A, Wessel finished 5th at state in 5A and Newell finished 6th at state in 6A. In addition, Mark Kolmer finished 3rd in 5A. The 189 Bishop Carroll (5A) kid who was ranked, didn't qualify for state. Ryan Revoir Olathe Ease didn't place in 6A.
