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. To view the girls ranking from this week, click here.

Turnarounds aren’t easy, and for Ulysses girls basketball head coach Audrey Marshall, season one with the program was full of challenges. 

The Tigers had their last winning season in 2019, when head coach Tim Hofferber led them to an 18-5 record with a state tournament appearance, but in the following three seasons, they only won a total of seven games.

When Marshall took over going into the 2022-23 season, she returned three starters from the prior two-win season and fought hard despite not winning a game.

After a desolate stretch of 53 consecutive losses that ended three seasons ago, it’s safe to say Ell-Saline basketball has bounced back.

Currently sitting at 8-1 and ranked fourth in the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association Class 2A rankings, the Cardinals are coming off a Canton-Galva Tournament victory that included wins over sixth ranked Wichita Classical in the semifinals and the second ranked defending state champs Moundridge in the championship game.
