So Much Fun to Watch

As I've said before in this blog it's really really hard for us each week to decide what games we're going to cover. Do we hit the big schools because of bigger numbers or do we go with the small schools because we want to be more all-encompassing? It's a tooth and nail type of fight, trust me.

But lately it's been tough for us to break away from covering the 6A schools in our area simply because night in and night out there's always a chance for an upset. I'm not just blowing smoke here, there truly is always a chance for an upset.

For example, tonight Southeast travels to face Heights. The only loss in the GWAL for Heights this year came at the hands of the Golden Buffaloes. Granted, the Falcons were without point guard Evan Wessel, but still, you have to wonder if Southeast still has Heights' number?

North is as West tonight. Normally this would sound like a slam dunk for the Redskins but the Pioneers have been a major surprise after boys tournament week. West has won 5 in a row, that's more wins in just a couple of weeks than the West girls have had in about the last 5 years! All of a sudden West seems like the perfect underdogs with the capability of an upset. This newly confident Pioneers team got beaten handily by North earlier in the year, a 17 point loss to be exact. But tonight West is at home, they're riding a serious wave of confidence and as always, what do they really have to lose?

Let's not forget Northwest here either. The Grizzlies are having a solid, yet under the radar type of season. They're a little young but the team is still holding its own against some power house 6A schools.

The post season is always fun to watch but I think this year will be exponentially entertaining considering the number of talented schools we have in our area. Will it be another championship game between two Wichita schools? I hope it is because I want to watch these teams play for as long as possible!
