A look around Class 4A-Division I Sub-States

A look at the Class 4A-Division I Sub-State Tournaments around the state:

* Fort Scott's boys or girls have not played any of the other teams from the Paola Sub-State this season. Paola, Louisburg and Spring Hill are all members of the Frontier League.

* Fort Scott's boys won the last meeting with both Louisburg and Paola, both in the same season. The Tigers beat Louisburg in a regular-season game during the 2011-12 season and defeated Paola in the Spring Hill Class 4A Sub-State later that season.

* Tiger boys lost to Spring Hill in the first round of Sub-State last season at Spring Hill. It's the only meeting between the Broncos and Tigers in the Tribune's records.

* Fort Scott's boys are 6-1 against Louisburg, 13-1 versus Paola (since 1954-55).

* Tiger girls have lost their last meetings with each team here. They last saw Spring Hill in the 2009-10 Osawatomie Sub-State, Louisburg in the 2011-12 Louisburg Sub-State and Paola last season at Spring Hill.

* Tiger girls are 5-4 against both Louisburg and Spring Hill while Paola is 10-9 versus Fort Scott. The reason Fort Scott's girls have played these schools more often than the boys in fewer seasons (the girls' program began in 1974-75; boys' records go back to 1954-55) is because they played in Louisburg's mid-season tournament from 1981-1998. Paola and Spring Hill also played in that tournament frequently.

* Fort Scott remains No. 10 in Class 4A-Division I in this week's Kansas Basketball Coaches Association Poll. Paola's girls are still No. 2 behind Bishop Miege.

* Last season's boys' champion, McPherson, is at the Hays Sub-State while defending girls' champ Bishop Miege is hosting a Sub-State.

* Last season's Class 4A-Division II boys' champion, Eudora, is playing in Division I this season. The Cardinals are the No. 1 seed at Bishop Miege.

* The Paola and Winfield Sub-States are the only boys' tournaments which do not have at least one team that has won 15 games. The top seed at Paola is Fort Scott, which is 14-6. The top seed at Winfield are the host Vikings, who are 13-7.

* Every girls' Sub-State has at least one team with 16 wins except Topeka Hayden and Winfield. There are two 15-5 teams at Hayden, the host school and Abilene. Wellington is the top seed at Winfield with a 13-7 record.

* The three remaining undefeated boys' teams are Independence, which is playing in the Labette County Sub-State, Basehor-Linwood, which is at Kansas City-Piper, and McPherson, which is at the Hays Sub-State.

* The remaining unbeaten girls' teams, Bishop Miege and Paola, are hosting Sub-States.

* There are no one-loss teams in any boys' or girls' Sub-State. Ottawa's boys, playing at Hayden, are the only two-loss team of either gender.

* Every Sub-State has at least one team with a winning record.

* Every boys' team has a winning record at Hayden, where the No. 4 seed, the host school, is 13-7.

* Every girls' team has a winning record at Bishop Miege, where fourth-seeded DeSoto is 11-9, and at Hayden, where No. 4 Ottawa is 13-7. There are no girls' teams with losing records at Labette County as four-seed Coffeyville has a 10-10 mark.

* Sub-States which have only one team with a winning record are Paola girls (Paola), and Winfield boys (Winfield). However, the No. 2 seeds in each one (Louisburg girls, Wellington boys) are 10-10.

* Winfield is the only boys' Sub-State where the host school is the No. 1 seed. Hayden is the only one where the host is the No. 4 seed, although as noted earlier, Hayden has a winning record.

* The host girls' team is the top seed at Paola and Miege. The host girls are the No. 4 seed at Augusta (4-16).
