ReDPloyd. Think you just added to the reason for the issue/prosals, etc.

Of the 64 4A schools, only four are private (4/64=1/16=6+%). In last year's state baseball tournament, two of the four semifinal teams (25%) were private private schools. Hayden was the champ and Ward took third. The year previous you said Ward was the champ and beat Hayden--that again signifies 2 of the four semifinalists were private schools. You then go on to say that Ward had been the champ for the previous five years (a Ward run of 6 straight championships in BB). Was Hayden in the state tournament in those other years--can't determine since KSHSAA online brackets show only the current year. Did Hayden make the state tournament those other years--the final 8. Some where in there I bet they did.

So, for at least two years 100% of the champs were private schools, and 50% of the semifinalists were private. The previous five year 100% of the champs was a private school, and we can not determine with the information readily availbe if there were other private schools in the tournaments. Thats two consecutive 100% and 50%, and a minimal five year run of 100%. Pretty good when only 6% of the total number of schools are private.

Does there need to be any additional explanation of the issue.

HELP! Question for anyone--Is the KSHSAA rule still in effect that limits the number of high school "squad" players on an off season sports teams, for example, 6 of 11 on a clubb soccer team. Have looked the the KSHSAA and can not find it. This rule went in in about 1995. -If still a rule, in my opinion, the worst rule in the KSHSAA book? If not the direct cause of the current mess, this rule certainly exacerbates the situation--especially in small town Kansas. If it is still a rule I will explain in a later comment
