Look at the 7 teams that have punched in their ticket for Topeka next week. Olathe East (20-2) Olathe NW (20-2) Washburn Rural (20-2) Goddard (20-2) Heights (20-2) Olathe North (18-4) Blue Valley (17-5) The 8th and final spot will be decided tomorrow in the Maize regional. (North/NW winner vs East/Maize winner). So, with 5 teams making it to state with 20-2 records. Does that mean their will be a coin flip for the 1-5 seeds? Northwest wins regionals then they will coin flip with Olathe North for the 6-7 seeds but if Maize wins then they are a lock for the 6 seed.

Anything, and I mean ANYTHING could happen. For all anybody knows, the Maize Baseball Regional championship could be Wichita South vs. Garden City. You may be laughing, but what is more realistic? That, or an 0-18 team beating the #1 team in the state? I guess we will see. Upsets happen!
