Can you name… (updated)
Aug. 12, 2009 @ 11:30 a.m. by Joannaby joanna
Here’s the text from the first post and I’ve given you the answers at the bottom:
This is a little silly, but maybe you’ll play along. I mean, you played along with the spammer that one day, for goodness’ sakes!
I’ve been getting football surveys back from coaches for about the past week now. On those surveys I ask which teams will be powers in the various classes, ranging, of course, from 6A to 8-Man I and II.
So I want you to name the schools that are getting the most mention overall and in their classes. Can you do it?
Update: No surprise, Hutchinson is being mentioned the most right now by coaches across the state. There’s a huge drop-off after that.
Topeka Hayden is second, then it’s Andale, Junction City, Smith Center, Bishop Carroll, McPherson, Olathe North, Gardner-Edgerton, Holton.
Then it’s Aquinas, Andover, Silver Lake, Baileyville (8-Man 1), Ulysses and Garden Plain, Clifton-Clyde, Madison and Goessel.
I haven’t gotten as many surveys returned to me at this point as I would like, but I imagine that will pick up soon.
Any new thoughts here?

Lucy – That’s a pretty good list but has an error – Silver Lake is 3A (not 8-man). That said, they may win 3A this year.
5A – Watch out for Emporia – Won’t beat Hutch but will be a tough draw in the playoffs.
4A – Very competitive in our area – Andale, Mulvane, Rose Hill, Buhler, and a few more.
3A – Collegiate may very well break thru this year.

Emporia? You have to make it out of your district before you can get to the playoffs. Should we talk about the Kansas playoff system again?

Lou – I was taking my son back to Tulsa Univ and got stopped on I-35 just north of Blackwell for 1.5 hrs. We thought it was an accident or something but never saw any damage after the traffic started moving – wonder what the guy was in for.

Lou, he must have been a follower of the blog inside the slammer. Probably a Hutch fan that saw a few of your post slamming them and he was coming to get you.

There are few teams that can compete with the Golden Buffaloes of 1983.

1983? The year East won state? Must have been some team to knock them out of the West bracket.

Well, interesting picks and I don’t have enough info on some of the teams , but yes Hutch does seem popular. But there is a beast from the east coming soon, underated, passed over, just another team lost in the radar. Don’t get me wrong, yes the Blazers of Gardner-Edgerton get some media, but for the most part no one can believe that Gardner could actually have some talent to be dealt with…
