Oops! St. Thomas Aquinas still tops in All-Sports standings

Good catch by one of our readers.
My original post said Bishop Carroll had overtaken St. Thomas Aquinas in our all-sports standings.
But the eight points Aquinas earned for its boys soccer state championship had somehow been erased from my spreadsheet.
With those eight, Aquinas has 59 points through the winter season, best in 5A and the state overall.
Bishop Carroll, with state championships in boys and girls bowling and third-place state finishes in wrestling and girls basketball, is a close second, in 5A and overall, with 57.5
Carroll now has 57.5 points and Aquinas 51. Those two schools lead the overall as well as 5A standings.
In Class 6A, Topeka Washburn Rural, which won the girls state basketball title, leads with 38.5 points, while Wichita Heights, which won the boys basketball championship, is second with 35.5.
In Class 4A, Topeka Hayden, which finished second in girls basketball and third in boys basketball, has a big lead over St. James Academy, 36-17.
In Class 3A, Collegiate leads Holcomb 22-16.5 after winning the boys basketball title and finishing second in girls basketball.
In Class 2A, St. Marys, which won both girls and boys basketball championships, leads Pittsburg Colgan 32.5-20.5.
In Class 1A, Centralia, which finished third in both boys and girls basketball, leads Goessel 23.5-18.
The rankings are based on points awarded for top eight finishes at the state championships, with eight points awarded for a state title down to one point for an eighth-place finish. In sports such as basketball where only first through fourth places are determined, all quarterfinal teams split the total points that would be awarded for fifth through eighth places.
