Bruce, Bob and Savage were in rare form this morning on a Friday edition of the Sports Daily radio show on KFH. Questioning each other's on-air etiquette, their levels of popularity and, more vaguely, each other's manhood - they hit all the hot buttons. In my weekly segment with the guys, sponsored by Presto Convenience Stores, we talked about local basketball - who's who, who to watch tonight, and who's a surprise this year. Tune in each Thursday at about 10:25 to listen in (Sometimes, I go on at 9:30 on Fridays, instead.)
Boys Class 3A is shaking up already. Wichita Collegiate is a clear favorite in this area, with Thomas More Prep awaiting them at the state tournament. Trinity Academy and Belle Plaine look to be the legitimate competitors in the area.
But how good is TMP? The defending 4A champs narrowly defeated Sunrise Christian on Thursday night 60-55. Sunrise isn't a KSHSAA-sanctioned school, but they're a nice squad, having won their independent league two years in a row. But, still, how good is TMP? HovpenSports has them ranked No.2 behind Collegiate, and the Jeff Lutz at the Wichita Eagle started them out at No. 1.
Trinity shot out to a big lead over Collegiate in the first half of the sub-state final last season, but the Spartans came back to win before taking the 3A state title. But Belle Plaine is right there with Trinity this winter in terms of being able to compete with the Spartans. The Dragons beat Trinity 50-48 on Tuesday night, before rolling Remington 61-40 Thursday night. Belle Plaine travels to Trinity for another matchup on January 29.
