I go to collegiate and our coach scheduals us harder games or "rivalry" games. We have been playing kapaun and andover for awhile now as a "rivalry" which is always a packed gym. Last year was our last year that they let us play in the mcpherson tournament where there we were the lowest class ranked team at 3a (last year we didnt do any good but years befor we have almost won). The mcpherson tournament kicked us out because of the years before when we have almost won. This year is our last year to play kapaun and andover because they both dropped us for next year. for andover it doesnt look good getting beat by a 3a school. and for kapaun it doesnt look good having a "close" or competitive game with a 3a school. so most big (6a or 5a) schools dont schedual games with smaller schools because it doesnt look good if they loose, althought the rivalry is fun. i also like the idea of a grand state but it would be very tought for a 1a school to compete. some schools try to do what you are talking about.

But let's have the four smallest schools play the pig-tail games with Class 5A and 6A getting a bye. Then let the tournament play out. That way this gives 1A state champ a chance at glory instead of automatically facing a 6A school right off the bat. I just don't think the 1A champ can compete with the 6A team. But I could be wrong.

Wichita City league vs the Centennial... The Topeka schools wouldn't want to be embarrassed that badly, though... Let's just bring back Grand State now that we have 6 classes... it didn't do so well when we had 5... (unless you were a wrestler...) Now that would be fun... all 6 class champs... one tourney... winner is the best in Kansas... put names in a hat so the pairings are not biased... let them rock out...
