Greg,
Reread the list. It is right under Campbell County, KY. Buck up and admit you didn't thoroughly read the list. I will get a complete list of teams that have participated who were west of the Mississippi.
The point is FREEDOM TO CHOOSE! Almost no Kansas schools will or would go but the point is WHY should they be prohibited from going? To go to the Beast requires no more lost class time than if we were to attend the Norton, KS tournament. If any team's parents or community want to go the extra mile, raise the funds, they should NOT be prohibited from doing so. KSHSAA has TOO MUCH control and the system for changing rules is BROKEN, actually I don't think it ever worked! The staff members of KSHSAA are overpaid control freaks.
SJA is going to Denver this year. Do you have any idea how excited the team is about it? Just a little more than if we were going to the SMNW Invitational! We can use it as a carrot to keep kids interested in the sport, interested in keeping their grades up, and as a reward for the extra hard work they have been putting in by working out all summer. Look at the positives that can come from this and pull your head out of the sand. The world is a bigger place than Kansas plus 500 miles!
Why is it that when I subtly raise a point you have to be negative and sarcastic?
