Mid-Continent League champions lead all-league selections

Five different teams are represented on the boys’ Mid-Continent League first-team. Seniors, however, dominated the list as all but one player is a senior. Andrew Casey was the only player selected from Plainville’s 20-2 team that lost in its sub-state championship. Norton, Hill City, Smith Center and Phillipsburg were also represented on the first-team.

On the girls’ side, 22-1 Smith Center placed two girls on first-team in Tangie Hileman and Sydney Benoit. Much the boys’ team, just one player isn’t a senior. Hill City, Phillipsburg and Trego are also represented on first-team.
