Kansas high school playoffs prove superior system urges more teams in
Doug Hanna argues Kansas high school football playoffs, revamped in 2002 to two teams per district, offer better drama and fairness. He cites Garden City, South Gray, and Hutchinson Salthawks while praising elimination-style competition and a 13 point rule, but critiques three‑team districts. He reflects on personal memories and contrasts with NFL and BCS formats.
