Seems once a year this topic comes up on the forum. I wanted to respond to the part of the post that talks about not being able to replace with a grand state because then they would have to offer it up to other sports.(Please pardon me if I read it wrong). My question is why? Other states do it so why can't KS? I will refer to Jersey, well...because that is what I know, where they have dual state playoffs to satisfy the "team" champs for each Group. Groups 1 thru 4 and even Parochial schools are seperated. They then start the individual tournaments leading to state...all groups lumped together. They start on the district level(32 I believe) where Top 3 advance to Regionals(8 I think), where the Top 3 advance to the 1st rd of state. i think they call this Super-Regions now...it's really just the preliminary rounds of state. All leading to one champ regardless of school size. Both the team dual playoffs and individual are exciting in their own right. So I guess the question is still..why not? I don't know the answer but know it gets tiring discussing something that nobody seems to want to change. If I had my choice, i'd rather see a dual state playoff tournament.
