I was just looking at the teams in this year's Class A & B State Tournament and noticed the following:
- The Class A Boys have 7 new teams in the State Tournament compared to last year. Caddo is the only returning team. This is pretty unusual. Class A Girls have 4 returning teams (Seiling, Caddo, Vanoss and Okarche). Class B Boys have 4 returning teams (Ft Cobb-Broxton, Roff, Buffalo Valley and Glencoe). Class B Girls have 5 returning teams (Hammon, Lomega, Pittsburg, Varnum and Lookeba-Sickles).
- There are 2 new teams in the State Tournament for the first time this year - Riverside Girls and Drummond Boys both in Class A. Congrats to both teams!!
- Goodwell Boys in Class B have the longest time away as they were last in the State Tournament in 1971. Welcome back!!
- Ft. Cobb-Broxton Boys have the longest streak for State Tournament appearances at this time with this being their 11th year in a row to punch their ticket. Varnum Girls have the second longest streak at 7 years.
- Calumet Boys have the longest winning streak coming into the State Tournament having won their last 24 games. Seiling Girls and Pittsburg Girls are tied for second with 17 game winning streaks coming into State.
- Lomega Girls and Varnum Girls tied for most wins (27) on the season coming into State. All the teams at State this year are already at 20+ wins.
- 3 of the 4 State Champions from last year have made it back this year (Seiling Girls, Glencoe Boys and Pittsburg GIrls). The only team missing are the Tushka Boys from last year after they made their "impossible" run to the title.
- Lomega Girls have the most Gold Balls (15) of anyone in this year's tournament with Ft. Cobb-Broxton Boys and Seiling Girls in second place with 7 titles.
Congrats to all the teams and best of luck in your games!!
