How about this configuration for the Suburban KC Conferences?

Drive across extreme northern Missouri. The towns up there have dried up and blown away in the last 40 years. It's the same everywhere. People move where there is economic opportunity. And in rural America, those opportunities are for the very few. So people move to places like Liberty and Kearney, and Grain Valley, and Raymore.

I lived for a few years in Fort Madison Iowa when I was growing up... I remember that area well.

Grain Valley is gonna be another Class 5 school before we all know it. Oak Grove you are next in line............

GV is in hoops, right? I'd say them and Ray-Pec will probably have a second HS in the next 20 yrs or so.

Holy crap! Thanks for the info panther. That's a crazy jump and growth. Obviously forecasted and knew it was coming...but wow.

Grain Valley was a Class 2 school in 2002. Just let that growth sink in for a minute.

I’m pretty good friends with their head hoops coach. He was Drapers asst for 5 yrs or so and then took over about 10 yrs ago. I think they were around 500 kids in HS when he went there as an asst. Nuts!
