i'm sure manhatten will be decent although i heard they graduated almost everyone...who is expected to contend for the state title?

Topeka High????

STA, Blue valley (maybe), Emporia, Derby, Hutchinson...

Isn't Blue Valley still 5A?

Young Mr. Robinson asks:

CLASS 6A
Coed Schools: 32
Range: 1632-955
Overland Park-Blue Valley North (1184)
Overland Park-Blue Valley Northwest (1157)

CLASS 5A
Coed Schools: 32
Range: 955-510
Overland Park-Blue Valley West (955)
Stilwell-Blue Valley (920)

5A Schools that changed classifications for 2004-2005 (last year's classification is shown in parenthesis):
Overland Park-Blue Valley West (6A)

Last season all Blue Valley High Schools except Stillwell were in 6A.

STA is very good in every weight class.

Manhattan will still be in the running, they have 7 qualifiers, 4 medalist a handfull of under classmen that never been able to make varsity due to depth (Bubba Schoenfeld)and some freshman that will make some noise at the next level.

Here's my preseason top 6A picks:
1. Goddard
2. Maize
3. Manhattan
4. ST Aquinas
5. Emporia
Others: Garden City, Junction, Derby, Hutch

I'll reserve comment til sometime in March....its a little early to be taking about state

yea, STA will be very strong. wouldnt surprise me to see cisper having an undefeated state champion season at 189 or 171...by the way does anyone know where he is goin weight wise?

Lawrence High should have a top 10 season

Thanks mamasawn, but I don't see how anyone can look past the HatTown, Emporia, STA, and others. I think we'll contend somewhere, but 6A is tough. Hutch should do well, but they hired a shakey assistant.

Relax, Hutch fans, it's my little brother.
