This afternoon, the 2025 Sterling Invitational will get underway as both Southeast of Saline basketball teams look for strong showings at their midseason tournaments.
The Invitational, which has been played since 1973 on the boys' side, and 2014 on the girls' side, has seen some of the best midseason basketball in the state of Kansas, and this year should be no exception, as SES, Sterling, Hugoton, Smoky Valley, Scott City, Lyons, Kingman, and Hutch Trinity all look to etch their names into the record books.
Here you can find up-to-date information regarding scores and upcoming matchups all week long. The tournament will run on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
