Did not say JC HS was a parochial school. The KSHSAA list of member schools shows a class 1A JC Saint Xavier. Assume this is a parochial school!

Because you (JC) and Olathe North are 6A schools you do not compete with parochial schools at state tournament level play (there are no parochial or private 6A schools).

You need to go look at 54321A history of state level competition and then perhaps you would understand what other postters and I are saying. And yes, it does hold weight for those shools, especially the kids, who year after year see their sport dominated by only a very few schools.
