With this past week scheduled to be the first full week of high school athletics around the state of Kansas, Mother Nature had other ideas.
As is normal for spring sports in Kansas, Mother Nature had her ideas of which games could take place and which ones would be either postponed or outright canceled.
While Mother Nature had her options this past week, the North Central Activities Association high school conference teams still had their opportunities to compete.
Here is a look at what each NCAA school did in sports competition this past week :
BELOIT
