6A is very, very tough at the top but the drop off is significant afterwards. 4th place in 6A might not break you into the top 10 in 4A but the point is that Kansas really isn't competitive with other states. The Shawnee schools are some of the largest in the state but they have trouble filling a solid varsity line up.
Sorry to interrupt the personal attacks, but in the 14 matches that SME wrestled against 4a #1 Clay Center & # 2 Andale, we split 7-7. If I include the top 12 4a schools (only because we had matches against #1,2,6,10,11 & 12) the split goes to 31 to 16 in favor of SME.
