In my opinion Newton probably has the toughest selection of strictly Kansas teams. You get a mix of the top programs in the upper classes like Wichita Heights and Derby, but you also get the annual top dogs in the lower divisions like Colby, Clay Center, and Norton. However, Garden City is a much tougher tournament because it has a group of out of state programs that annually compete or win their state tournaments like Rio Rancho, New Mexico; Canyon Randall, Texas; and Ponderosa, Colorado. Not to mention teams like Andale, Emporia, Garden City, and Scott City representing the state of Kansas. I think that Basehor is the third toughest, with Newton coming in second, and Garden City being the cream of the crop.
