The Executive Board reviewed the list of schools not submitting
recommendations for post-season fall sports officiating.
Schools not responding in football were Kansas City-Sumner
Academy and Oxford. Schools not responding in soccer and
volleyball: Kansas City-Sumner Academy. All other KSHSAA
member senior high schools submitted recommendations on
officials in all sports.
3. The Sunflower League is proposing a change in the 6A football
seeding procedures. On page 17 of the football manual,
Section 3, 3.A.1-Class 6A and 5A Bracket, delete the following
sentence – “They will be placed on the opposite quarters
of the bracket from the district winners in the respective
districts (so that the two teams from the same district, if
they won in regional and sectional rounds would play each
other in the sub-state round.)”
Note: Our rationale for this change means we are treating
the 5th thru 8th seeded teams the same as the 1st thru 4th
seeded teams by using the criteria listed on pages 19-20.
