Boys
Lansing went 3-0 last week, locking up the 2013-14 league title with wins against Basehor-Linwood, Tonganoxie and Mill Valley. The undefeated Lions will host Turner on Tuesday, then travel Thursday to Piper.
Basehor-Linwood enters the final week of the regular season in second place in the league standings. The Bobcats are one game ahead of Piper and can lock up second place when the Pirates travel Tuesday to BLHS. Piper will close things out Thursday at home against Lansing, while the Bobcats will host Mill Valley.
Mill Valley and Tonganoxie are both in the running for the league’s fourth spot. They’ll play each other Tuesday at MVHS. The Chieftains will be back at home Thursday against Bonner Springs.
Girls
Piper suffered its first league loss last week at Bonner Springs, leaving the door open for a two-way or three-way tie at season’s end. The Pirates will be at Basehor-Linwood on Thursday, then host Lansing on Thursday. If they go 0-2 and BLHS or Bonner Springs go 2-0 this week, there would be co-champions.
The Bobcats and Braves are currently tied for second, as they split their regular-season series. BLHS hosts Piper and Mill Valley this week, while BSHS hosts Bishop Ward and travels to Tonganoxie.
Mill Valley is currently fourth, but enters the week on a nine-game win streak. If the Jaguars win out, they could finish as high as second, depending on how BLHS and BSHS finish.
