The postseason has begun in the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League I, on the wrestling mats, and some jostling has been done in the AVCTL I basketball standings as the regular season enters its home stretch.
The AVCTL I girls’ wrestling teams all competed in their respective regional tournaments this past weekend, which saw 34 individual wrestlers qualify for the state tournament, led by Salina South’s 8 state qualifiers. The AVCTL I boys’ wrestling teams will compete in their respective regional tournaments this weekend.
The AVCTL I basketball standings also saw some moves as the Maize South Lady Mavericks jumped to the top spot, ahead of the Derby Lady Panthers, who suffered their first AVCTL I loss of the season this past Friday against Hutchinson.
A pair of firsts occurred this past week in the AVCTL I boys’ basketball ranks as the Derby Panthers suffered their first loss, falling 67-63 against Hutchinson, and the Campus Colts earned their first victory of the season when they defeated Goddard 56-46.
The Derby Panther boys also suffered their first loss of the season and remain atop the AVCTL I boys’ standings only because they have a better overall record than Maize High, as both now stand with identical 8-1 AVCTL I standings.
