Ok. Good coaches and good programs win trophies. No arguement. Stll doe not account for the disparity in the state qualifers or champions in all sports from the parochial schools.

Only two ways too really resolve this issue. 1) Have a coach exchange between some parochial and public schools and measure the results or differences. 2) Have a toal student athlete exchange between schools----parochial scool kids to play for public school coaches at the public school--and vice versa. After this is all done, what was accomplished. Nothing!

You are trying to rationalize if you do not accept that the parochial school teams are loaded and you are ignoring a problem with the level of athletic achievement in those schools.

How would Aquinas or Miege do in boys and girls soccer if they were reclassified to 6A. Probably still pretty good. But, those KC area 5A schools-with soccer-are not near the same as the 6A schools Aquinas or Miege would have to play in the 6A Soccer Regionals to get to State. Bonner Springs, G/E, Harmon, Schlagle, Turner, Washington, Wyandotte, Lansing, Pittsburg, and Mill Valley are no way close to the Shawnee Mission, Blue Valley, or Olathe 6A schools in soccer. Same situation for the Wichita area 5A parochial schools if they had to qualify in the Wichita Regionals. Same can be said for several other sports.
