GROUP 3 1941-Present
KANSAS BASKETBALL GROUP 3 (A-3A-4A) | |||||
SF = Semi-Finalist - no third place game |
This group starts with the creation of CLASS AA in 1941. Prior to that year there was only CLASS A and CLASS B. CLASS A was considered the large class and CLASS B was everybody else starting with the 1925 Tournament. In 1941 CLASS AA was established as the largest classification - CLASS A became a medium size school class - CLASS B was everybody else.
1941 - 1968 CLASS A : Schools with enrollment between 151 and 475. This tournament started with a 16 team format. From 1943-1945 travel restrictions called for playoffs in district and regional locations with the top four moving on to one location where final four competition was also conducted for CLASS AA & CLASS B. The tournament returned to the pre-war format from 1946-1951. Then in 1952 the tournament field was reduced to 8 teams and for two years consolation (3rd place) games were not played. The consolation game for 3rd place was resumed in 1954. In 1962 the system was changed so that the top 56 high schools in the state were placed in the top CLASS AA. The next 64 competed in CLASS A.
1969-1978 CLASS 3A : CLASS 5A contained the top 16 schools in enrollment. CLASS 4A was composed of the next 32 schools. The next 64 schools in population became CLASS 3A. For a few years the KSHSAA referred to these without the numeric prefix. For instance, CLASS 3A was called CLASS AAA.
1979-PRESENT CLASS 4A : Current system has top 32 schools in CLASS 6A - the next 32 are part of CLASS 5A. Then CLASS 4A is composed of the next 64 schools in enrollment.
