I do know coaches can not vote for their own teams in this poll.
No surprise here. I have heard rumors that the Sunflower wants Leavenworth out to make room for Aquinas, has anyone else heard this. Leavenworth should consider dropping football, they are badddddd.
I haven't heard that. I just doubt that the sunflower league is looking to add a 5A private school. Most leagues are trying to get private schools out.
Maybe, I know that a 5A STA would be a lot more competitive in all sports that Leavenworth. I wouldn't look at classification, would look at competitiveness, who knows may just be a rumor.
Yeah, the EKL (coaches anyway) have been trying to get them and Bishop Miege out because they are TOO competitive in a lot of sports.
Well Sunflower is not EKL. It's more like the premier league in Kansas. I think STA would be a very good fit in the Sunflower league. The have success in a lot of sports.
