Kansas Pregame boys and girls basketball rankings with results from previous contest
After missing a majority of the season’s first five games due to a football injury, Brady Hurla is back to full health and leading the eighth ranked St. Marys Bears with 18 points per game. Meanwhile, Hayden Heim has the St. Marys girls just outside of the rankings with tough losses to Olpe, Centralia and Riley County prior to the winter break. She's averaging nearly 27 points per game.

Here's our best guess at the rankings after significant team and schedule research as well as consultation with coaches and media from across the state. A reminder, this is just for fun. Fortunately, sub-state and state tournaments will determine who the best team is in each classification in March and not rankings.
