For those interested in early season predictions, here is some information I have put together.
5A Returning State Points---Team Points---these are simply returning state points, including state placers and qualifiers. It does not take into consideration several other factors (see below)
1. Arkansas City---86
2. Shawnee Heights---66
3. KC Turner---57
4. Bishop Carroll----52
5. Bonner Springs----52
6. Winfield---41.5
7. Topeka Seaman---41.5
8. Paola---40.5
9. Salina South---39.5
10. Mulvane---39
11. Buhler---33
12. McPherson---27
13. Goddard---22.5
14. Kapaun Mt. Carmel---22
15. Liberal---22
Kit Harris stated the following about 4A and I think that it states clearly the purpose for placing this info up:
This does not take into consideration other factors, such as newcomers, injuries, weight class changes, etc. Also, there are a number or kids who didn't qualify for state (were injured, lost in a tough regional, etc.) who will likely qualify next year and score big points for their team. Enrollments can change schools in classifications as well which will change things. There are a lot of variables. But it's something interesting to have a look at for some pre-season fun predictions.
