Spread-out Kansas state tourney sparks fan plea for better system
In a critique of the Kansas State High School Activities Association classification setup, the author urges consolidating state tournaments to a single site per class. He envisions watching Conner Frankamp of Wichita North and Clayton Custer of Blue Valley Northwest in high stakes clashes, lamenting travel and timing conflicts across seven sites. The piece reflects on venues in Salina, Topeka, Wichita, Emporia, Hutchinson, and Manhattan and argues for rotating sites to restore the old theater-like atmosphere and accessibility for fans. The author plans to attend in Topeka while dreaming of Frankamp versus Custer in Wichita, hoping for a more coherent four-day state hoops festival.
