I won't dispute that you could argue quality of competition between classes (321a, 4a, etc.) but the Ark Valley League had quite a showing in State competition.
2 team titles (Hutch-6A, Ark City-5A,)
McPherson 7th-5A, Derby 9th-6A
Campus, Winfield, and Newton all in the top 20 in 5A. As for El Dorado, we didn't fair as well but we were competitive. The league combined for the Following:
61 qualifiers
32 placers
13 finalists
8 State champs
Congrats to Hutch for the repeat, and to Ark City for being back on top.
