This year 3 of our first four are @LAW, @ON and @OE. I sense a pattern here. You just can't get much tougher than that.

The last 6 years smw schedule has ranked 25, 20, 30, 32, 16, and 10 out of 32 teams. Compare that with OS which had 3, 8, 14, 4, 1, and 20. I'm sure they would trade schedules with you any day. I think OE has had even tougher schedules in the past (though they get a break this year with their district).Sluggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322485743804947666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623488876733670980.post-48330367189155077552012-08-29T08:56:29.607-05:002012-08-29T08:56:29.607-05:00I'm just saying the home field thing always se...I'm just saying the home field thing always seems to go aganst SMW. I remember one year we opened @OE and @OS. We have 5 road games yet again this year. Not sure how they always manage to work that one out. And could we, just ONE year have ONW and LV on our schedule? Preferably both on the road so some of these other top teams can play at SMW for once?TheImpalerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498025027939163640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623488876733670980.post-57513915279142961252012-08-29T01:50:05.950-05:002012-08-29T01:50:05.950-05:00Right, and I'm assuming that rule (only playin...Right, and I'm assuming that rule (only playing SL teams) was implemented in 2004 because Olathe Northwest was added that year. That being said, it's something that should be reevaluated. At the very least it would be nice to see something like half of the teams being able to schedule out-of-league games every other year, the other half the other year, just to spice things up.

KSHSAA hands down the districts, and the ADs pick it up from there. The Sunflower league has scheduling rules set forth by the league itself. Yes, the Olathe Schools all have to play each other every year, just like the SM schools as you said. League schools are not allowed to schedule outside the league.
