Eastern Kansas Sports is excited to reveal the inaugural “East Regional Rankings”.

Teams eligible for the high school football regional rankings must be on the east side of their respective KSHSAA classification’s district. Voting is open to only those coaches and the Eastern Kansas Sports staff and contributors.

Rankings are released on Sunday night following the conclusion of the prior week’s competitions.

Due to the current suspension of play from 6A and 5A schools, they will not have a preseason ranking. We are hopeful to share those regular season rankings as the season progresses.
