In 5A you only have 2 teams west of I-35. Liberal, and Great Bend. The rest are all on the line or East. 32 teams in 5A. That makes for 2, 16 man brackets, if you go to 2 regionals, either make it an 8 man, or 16 man, bracket at State. Being in the Wichita area saw some QUALITY boys being left home, and some making it in other regions who wouldn't make it otherwise.
