10 out of thoese 15 are from strictly east kansas, and I granted you the witchita area schools as a favor cause they could be considered on either side. Would you care to revise your statement? True Norton and Hoxie weren't there, but you are talking about two teams out of countless ones that reside on the "west" side of Kansas.
