On the girls’ side, Wamego is in control with a 14-1, 5-0 record, while Clay Center is the only other NCKL girls’ team with a winning record thus far.
On the boys’ side, it is Marysville, that has laid its claim to dominating the league in 2022-23. The Bulldogs are currently 13-2, 7-0 and only Abilene and Wamego are NCKL boys’ teams with winning overall records, but Abilene is 2.5 games behind Marysville in the league standings while Wamego is 3 full games behind the Bulldogs.
