Wichita high school basketball league champions crowned; sub-state standings take shape
As the Kansas high school basketball regular season winds down to its final days, Varsity Kansas has updated KSHSAA sub-state standings with potential seedings if the season ended today for Wichita-area and boys teams.
Multiple teams clinched league championships on Tuesday, with updated league standings found below. League champions on the boys’ side were McPherson (AV-CTL Div. 3), Independent (Central Plains) and Hesston (Central Kansas), while the girls’ league champions were Bishop Carroll (City League), Derby (AV-CTL Div. 1), McPherson (AV-CTL Div. 3), Cheney and Garden Plain (Central Plains) and Hillsboro (Central Kansas).
The Heights boys (City League), Hutchinson boys (AV-CTL Div. 1), Andover girls (AV-CTL Div. 2), Collegiate boys (AV-CTL Div. 4) and Wellington girls (AV-CTL Div. 4) have all clinched at least a share of their league titles and can win them outright with a win in their regular-season finale.
