Richard Salyer just sent me an updated Aquinas scoring sheet from last year's tournament which shows that Andy Hurla scored 25 of Aquinas' 130.5 points. Andy was the only Aquinas senior at state last year so the returning Aquinas state participants scored 105.5 points last year. This is only a 12.5 differential from Bishop Carroll.

It will definitely be a good tight competition with all the teams listed and possibly some others due to possible classification changes like Kit Harris mentioned. I think Emporia was listed as the highest enrollment 5A school when the classifications were done last year at 995 compared to the lowest 6A team at 1,000 even. Blue Valley West had 993 and Aquinas was the only other 5A school over 900 in enrollment at 981.
