Does starting a program in a new school qualify for this discussion? If so, Wichita Heights opened in school year 1961-62, suffered through a "Death Penalty" from the KSHSAA in 1964 and won the first of their State Championships in 1968. The Falcons won 10 GWAL titles from 1964-1974 and their second State Championship in 1968 while finishing in the top 5 at the state tournament each of those years.
WOW! The KSHSAA Death Penalty?? What happened there? That sounds like a great story. Must be better than the KMC ordeal in the mid 80's.
