Conference Alignment

However, only 7A teams are taken into account when determining 7A state playoff berths.

State Playoffs
Power rankings determined seeding and thus which teams qualified to the state playoffs. 6A members were dropped out of the rankings. Bryant was considered a west team for seeding purposes, whereas the four 7A teams from the 7A/6A East conference were considered central teams. Six teams from the west and six from the central advanced to the playoffs.
