In the past couple years I would of had to say that 4a and 321a where twice as strong as what 5a and 6a where. But this year the tide has turned. At the Garden City tournament Great Bend Liberal and Emporia all beat Andale.
I think that you need to realize that Andale probably had 50 state tournament points transfer this year. That's a huge loss, and although they still have some great kids, they are not the team that they were or would be with them. I'm not sure, but I believe that Colby, Pratt and Goodland finished ahead of them at regionals.
