There are regionals still scheduled for today due to the rain last week, but state is this weekend.
Any stories, athletes, teams we should be focused on this week?

Jake Norman won the Goddard tournament on Saturday in fine fashion. Good to see him back playing for Independent. Who will challenge him in Class 3-2-1A? Does he automatically make Independent the favorite to win the state title?

Thanks to the coaches association for the rankings.
I’m going to start the season off with a tough question. What will it take for the 6A schools outside the KC area to get a player and a team to finish high at state? It’s been a while since it has happened.

Tennis rankings are out for the week, courtesy of the coaches association.
Interestingly, Carroll is still No. 1 in 5A, although Kapaun won 5-4 in duals and won the league tournament to take the City League title outright.
Regionals are this weekend. Which are the best? Who should we be watching for?
I’m sorry that I’m a little behind on posting these.
Please note, these were made before classifications came out on 9-27-12.

Carroll and Kapaun are still atop Class 5A, Maize is making its case in 6A, while McPherson moved up a spot in Class 4A behind Collegiate. In 3-2-1A, it’s still Conway Springs on top with Independent in third.

The girls tennis rankings are out at VarsityKansas.com, courtesy of the coaches association.\
I talked tennis with an area coach late last week, and he was praising Carroll’s tennis team, saying there is so much talent on that team, that it’s unfortunate they can only take six to state. That’s how good all eight players are.
That’s truly impressive. Depth is so important to winning a state title.
Which teams have the best chances this season?
