The basketball season is wining its regular season down across the state of Kansas in the high school level as teams prepare for the 2025 postseason.
The wrestling teams, at least on the girls’ side of the mat, will see its postseason begin this weekend across the state of Kansas, including in the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League I. The AVCTL I girls’ wrestling teams will compete in regional tournaments this weekend while the AVCTL I boys’ wrestling teams will compete in their regional tournaments next weekend.
The AVCTL I had a full slate of games last night (Tuesday) which simply furthered the narrative which has unfolded most of the 2024-25 season as Derby swept Campus, Salina South split with Maize High and Valley Center swept Hutchinson. Maize South was the lone AVCTL I team to play a non-league doubleheader as the Mavericks and Lady Mavericks’ got swept by the AVCTL II leading Andover High teams.
The Derby sweep simply strengthens the Panther and Lady Panther hold on the AVCTL I boys and girls’ basketball standings as the Lady Panthers currently lead the AVCTL I with a 13-2, 8-0 record while Maize South sits in 2nd place with a 14-2, 7-1 record. The Salina South Lady Cougars are currently in 4th place with a 9-6, 5-3 record.
The Derby Panther boys are the lone AVCTL I team still protecting an undefeated season as the Panthers lead the AVCTL I with 15-0, 8-0 record while Maize High is in 2nd place with a 13-4, 7-1 record and Salina South is currently 6th with a 5-10, 2-6 record.
