Central Kansas

We still get a few more doses of hoops this week before winter break. When the teams pick back up in January, we'll see who's who. The contenders will show themselves at the mid-season tournaments.

While the City League plays on Thursday before taking its break, Class 4A has two very intriguing matchups tonight.

Andover Central at Andale
Boys
Has Andale gotten past its football hangover? Three members of the two-time state football championship team, Ethan Ungles, Brett Macari and Chris Ast, along with leading scorer Michael Hermreck are trying to kickstart their season. Andover Central has losses to Wichita Collegiate and Andover - nothing to be embarrassed about. They have the potential to improve greatly by February. This matchup would be even more interesting in February. Both teams have a ways to go, but can get there.

Mulvane at Andover
Boys
Andover put themselves at the top of the heap in 4A with an early-season win over Andover Central. Mulvane surprised people with a ten-point win over Andale at their pre-season tournament. Mulvane, a surprise state contender in football this past fall, is trying to do it again on the hardwood.

The next issue of HSSTM: Central Kansas goes to the printer tomorrow. The issue will be released in the first week of January. Remember - give us feedback. Post here in the blog or in our forums. Send us your opinions and story ideas.
