Concordia moved from Class 3A to 4A.
Statewide, Wichita Northwest and Mill Valley switched spots in 6A and 5A with Northwest moving up and Mill Valley moving down. McPherson dropped from 5A to 4A, replaced in 5A by KC Piper.
Girard dropped from 4A to 3A, while Ellsworth moved from 2A to 3A. Humboldt dropped from 3A to 2A, Berean Academy moved from 1A to 2A and Canton-Galva and Pratt-Skyline moved from 2A to 1A.
