Who was the High School Sports Team of the Year? These were some of the most dominant teams in Kansas this year. Who’s missing from the list?
Fascinating. CBB coaches asked for one player they'd take in 2026. One picked a player that doesn't even start for his AAU team. Intangibles? "Doesn't have an ego and plays hard" Another picked two tri State players ranked outside the top 50 because they are tough.
Tyran Stokes or Jordan Smith Jr.? We polled coaches on their favorite players in 2026 and whether a fifth year of eligibility should be allowed: nytimes.com/athletic/65142…

@tbates_11 will always be special to me! He trusted a first year head coach & led our Piper Pirates team to a 22-1 record in the Covid season. He’s been a worker since day 1 and achieved his dream tonight signing with the Denver Nuggets of the NBA! Couldn’t be more proud of him!!
