BLHS will host basketball sub-state tourney
Basehor-Linwood High School has been selected to host a 4A Sub-State tournament, while Bonner Springs High School has been placed in one of the toughest 5A brackets. On Tuesday, the Kansas State High School Activities Association released the assignments for the 2001 sub-state tournaments, which will be played Feb. 26-March 3.
Basehor-Linwood will host the boys and girls semi-finals and championship games in a 4A Sub-State, March 1-3. First round games are played at the site of the top four seeds.
Five of the schools assigned are members of the Kaw Valley League, including DeSoto, Lansing, Mill Valley and Piper. Also, Bishop Ward, Spring Hill and Sumner Academy will participate. Sumner Academy's boys are the defending 4A State champs.
"We're very excited to be hosting the sub-state tournament and are excited with the competitive field that has been assigned to us," said Joe Keeler, BLHS athletic director.
As for Bonner Springs, the Braves and Bravettes have been assigned to a 5A Sub-State hosted by Schlagle.
Actually, Schlagle will host four of the eight schools assigned, while one of the other seven schools will be selected to host the other four schools after a seeding meeting on Feb. 24.
Assigned to the Schlagle Sub-State are Highland Park, Shawnee Heights, Topeka Seaman, Topeka West, Turner and Washington.
In the boys bracket, Shawnee Heights, Schlagle and Highland Park finished 1-2-3 in last year's 5A State tournament, while Topeka West took first and Shawnee Heights was third in the 5A State girls tourney.
"No matter where you go, you're going to end up with two or three good teams in there. That's one of those things," said Bonner Springs athletic director/girls head coach Garold Baker.

Point of View
The postal service is cutting back hours at some rural post offices. How often do you go to the post office?
“For my own personal use, I only go a couple times a year to mail gifts, usually around Christmas and family birthdays. At that time I usually buy a couple books of stamps that last for most of the year! For professional use, I go a couple times a month to check our PO Box.”
