The Mid-Season basketball scene took over the North Central Kansas League, as well as the entire state of Kansas’ high school sports scene this past week. But the NCKL, as the rest of the state of Kansas, also had to battle Mother Nature to get games played this past week.
Four NCKL teams had both boys and girls teams competing this past week, but both Marysville and Concordia are waiting for this week for their girl’s teams to compete in the mid-season tournament slate.
Here is a look at what each NCKL school did in their respective teams during this past week :
