Andover Central knocked off Miege, 49-42, last season in the 4A state title game. Miege advanced after defeating Tonganoxie in the substate round the week before. The Stags finished the season at 5-8, while Andover Central finished 10-1 and became the first 4A public school to defeat Miege since Baldwin did it in the opening round of the 2008 playoffs.

It also marked the first time since 2017 when a public school won, but that was when there were two 4A divisions. Miege won Division I in 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Public schools won Division II titles each of those years.

Buhler, a public school, won in 2013 when there were no divisions previously.

St. Thomas Aquinas won 4A in 2023, Miege in 2022, St. James in 2021 and 2020 and then Miege in 2019 and 2018.
