It switches from year to year, but overall I think the Western half (from Topeka and on west) is usually better. KC schools have good teams sometimes (like Blue Valley Stillwell a few years ago, I think), but last year the top three in 6A were from the west, Carrol, Goddard, and Ark City are all in the west, Clay Center, Colby, and Abilene are all in the west, and Hoxie and Norton are from the west. Other teams that are good/great every year are Emporia, Garden City, Derby, Maize, as well as some other teeny schools. I think Effingham is in the East, and there are usually some pretty good eastern teams (Scrawnee Whites this year), but I think teamwise, the West has it won easy.
