Without their legendary head coach on the sideline and running off of just 24 hours of rest, No.

MOUNDRIDGE, Kansas – One location played home to two more McPherson County state qualifiers Saturday night, as the Inman and Moundridge girls basketball teams won their respective sub-state championship games to qualify for next week’s class 2A state tournament. Last season, Inman and Moundridge’s seasons were ended by the same team – the Hillsboro Trojans.

CANTON, Kansas – While the Little River girls did as expected and gained a ticket to the Class 1A Division I State basketball tournament in Dodge City, the Little River boys pulled the unexpected and gained three wins in a row to win their sub-state as well, joining the girls in a trip to Dodge City. Being the top seed in sub-state, the Lady Redskins scored a semi-final, 77-12, win over Burden/Central on Saturday, March 1, before punching their ticket to the state tournament on Friday March 7 with a 14-point, 71-57, victory over Madison.
