As teams in the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League II settle into the mid-part of the season, beginning preparations for the home stretch of the season in February, the city of Andover still has control of both basketball AVCTL II leagues.
Andover High currently leads the AVCTL II girls’ and boys’ standings while Andover Central currently sits in 2nd place in the boys’ standings and 4th place in the girls’ standings. Arkansas City is currently 2nd in the AVCTL II girls’ standings while the Salina Central girls are in 3rd place, while the Salina Central boys are currently sitting in 5th place.
