Wichita-Area’s Top Ranked Players

We put together a couple of all-ranked teams from Wichita-city proper. Now let’s look at the surrounding area to see how the ranked players line up.

Putting together a rankings list is hardly an exact science. How do you compare players from different years of school?

To be diplomatic, we will put together two presentations of ranked Wichita-area players: 1) teams based on rankings, regardless of class, and 2) players listed by rank, regardless of class.
