While most of Kansas got hit with a snow storm this past Friday, which resulted in a lot of basketball postponements, the North Central Kansas League was one of the fortunate leagues as the NCKL had three sets of basketball games schedule for this past Friday and two of the three basketball doubleheaders were able to be played, with the lone exception being Concordia at Wamego, which was postponed and will be made up a later date.
Concordia, however, was able to open their 2024 slate earlier in the week as the Panthers and Lady Panthers swept a non-NCKL doubleheader against Republic County.
Abilene and Marysville split their NCKL doubleheader Friday night while Clay Center swept Chapman.
