KBCA girl's basketball rankings: Week nine

By TYLER HENRY Salina Post contributor

With a share of the NCAA title already in hand, the Southeast of Saline boy’s basketball team will look to finish the job on Tuesday, when they head to Ellsworth for a rematch with the Bearcats.

The Trojans enter this contest at 17-1 overall and a perfect 8-0 in league while the Bearcats come in at 11-6 and 5-3.

With two losses to Southeast, Beloit (6-2) is the only other team holding on to the hope of spoiling a purple Trojan parade, but an SES win or a Beloit loss in either of the next two games will deliver Southeast a second-straight NCAA title.

Despite these accomplishments looming just over the horizon, the Trojan locker room has been devoid of any talk about league over the last two months, and Southeast continues to keep their focus on bigger aspirations ahead.

“We haven’t actually talked about league all year,” SES head coach Bryson Flax said. “We have a mature group that understands the situation and we don’t feel the need to discuss it. We just take things game by game and let things take care of themselves.”

After defeating #3 Ellinwood in a convincing 74-48 victory, the Trojans will have to turn around and travel to Ellsworth less than 24 hours later, and will likely not be at 100% come tip-off.

While other teams would view this as a potential excuse, SES sees it as an opportunity to hone their skills with tired legs ahead of the postseason grind.

“I think the biggest challenge of a back-to-back is not having time to get the guys on the floor and show them what the opponent is going to do,” Flax said. “The positive is that this is a league game, we know Ellsworth well and this will help prepare us physically for sub-state.”

In their first matchup with the Bearcats a few weeks back, Southeast took home a convincing 20-point win but will look to get off to an even better start in this one.

“We were a little sluggish against their zone early but once we settled in we did some good things,” he said. “We also gave up too many offensive rebounds and we didn’t do a good enough job of keeping Cravens out of the paint and he made some plays.”

The key against Ellsworth remains, as it has been for quite some time, finding ways to make Will Cravens' life difficult, something that has been easier said than done, but that the Trojans have consistently found ways to do over the course of his career.

“They’re still the same team,” Flax said. “They run the same stuff and they still want to run their stuff through Cravens. If you can make him work hard for everything and not let the next options take easy looks you like your chances but we have to be good defensively at five spots.”

Tip-off between the Trojans and Bearcats is set for 7:30 at Ellsworth High School following the girls’ game at 6:00.

Both games can be heard on KINA (910 AM or 107.5 FM) or streamed with live audio and video on the Salina Post.

Trojans looking to lock up league title in Ellsworth 

With just two regular-season games to go before the sub-state tournament, the Southeast of Saline girl’s basketball team will look to finish their business in league, beginning with a Tuesday tilt in Ellsworth.

The Lady Trojans come into this contest at 16-2 and 7-1 in NCAA play while the Bearcats enter at 10-7 and 5-3, clinging to their last hope at securing a share of this year’s league title.

With a win today, Southeast can dash those hopes and earn themselves a piece of the pie, but in order to do that they must overcome tired legs after playing 32 minutes with Ellinwood on Monday night.

“Fatigue plays a big role in a late-season back-to-back like this but these kinds of games also prepare us for the postseason,” SES head coach Shauna Smith said. “We’ve played in these kinds of games before and playing through that is good for us.”

While the chase for a third-straight league title takes center stage in the community, the Lady Trojan focus remains on bigger goals ahead, and SES will approach this matchup just like any other.

“We’re really just looking to go take care of our business,” Smith said. “We talked about league before the Minneapolis game but we haven’t discussed it much since then.”

In their first battle with the Lady Bearcats, Southeast won in convincing 48-32 fashion as part of an eight-game winning streak that the Lady Trojans will carry into this game.

Much of that success recently has come as SES has found a new gear offensively, scoring 50 or more in each of their last three games after doing so in just three of the team's first 14 matchups.

“We’re finally back to making some threes and that’s a big part of our game,” she said. “We were only getting 3-4 after Christmas but we’re back up to six or so and we’re moving the ball a lot better. We’ve done a good job of being more patient and not just taking the first open shot we get.”

To sweep the season series with Ellsworth, the Lady Trojans will once again have to contend with the Bearcat's size, but after having opponent after opponent throw posts at them all year, that size disadvantage is no longer reflected in how SES plays.

“Our maturity stood out in the first game with Ellsworth,” Smith said. “They’re a very good team this year but they’re young at the guard spot so we have to force them to make plays and keep them uncomfortable. They outmatch us inside with size but we know how to defend that.”

Tip-off between the Lady Trojans and Bearcats is scheduled for 6:00 at Ellsworth High School, with the boys’ game to follow at 7:30.

Lady Trojans travel to Ellsworth looking to secure share of NCAA title

With very few other games happening around the state of Kansas on a Monday evening, all eyes turned to Gypsum, and to a battle between #3 teams as Southeast of Saline hosted the Ellinwood Eagles.

This game started off as good as advertised, but the Trojans proved too mighty for Ellinwood, handing the Eagles their first loss of the season in convincing 74-48 fashion, moving both teams' records to 17-1.

For a team going through an alleged shooting slump, Southeast looked masterful on the offensive end of the floor, led by Eli Sawyers (25), Luke Gebhardt (15), and Danny Kejr (11).

“We hit some shots, Danny was ultra-aggressive to the rim and we were pretty darn good defensively again,” SES head coach Bryson Flax said. “That’s a pretty tough team to guard when you have to bring extra help on a guy like Dutton and that’s a pretty good ball club, they’re going to make a run in a tough sub-state.”

For his part in all of this, Brit Dutton finished his night with 30 points to lead all scorers, but received just 18 from his supporting cast, not nearly enough to slip out of town with a win.

On both ends of the floor, it was a big game for Luke Gebhardt, who frequently found himself defending Dutton, but consistently proved to be up to the task.

“Luke did an excellent job on Brit,” Flax said. “On the offensive end, he was aggressive too. I need to look at the numbers but I felt like we assisted on a lot of buckets and we want to continue to get better at that.”

All-in-all ten different Trojans notched at least a bucket, and even against a top-three opponent SES forced double-digit turnovers while coughing up the ball just seven times themselves.

Now, Southeast will turn their attention to Ellsworth, where the Trojans can secure a second-straight league title if they can beat the Bearcats on Tuesday night.

Trojans take down Ellinwood in convincing win over #3 Eagles

With a 66-30 win over Ellinwood on Monday evening, the Southeast of Saline girl’s basketball team has officially found its footing on offense, and looks like a force to be reckoned with down the home stretch.

Another win marks the eighth in a row for the Lady Trojans, bringing their overall record to 16-2 while the Lady Eagles fall to 9-9.

This 66-point outburst is a new high watermark for Southeast, and the Lady Trojans have now scored 50 or more in each of their last three games after doing so just three times in their first 15 matchups.

“I thought we did a good job of having everyone contribute for us and that’s who we are,” SES head coach Shauna Smith said. “We’re not a one-person team. We had a lot of threes and against their zone, we did what we needed to do.”

Even by their own standards, Southeast’s scoring spread was immaculate on Monday, with three different players scoring 15 or more.

Reagan Goetz led the way, following her career-high performance with another 19 points, with Lexi Jacobson (16) and Brielle Ptacek (15) not far behind.

In addition to that big trio in this game, SES had seven different players in the scoring column, and shared the ball exceptionally well.

“If the shots don’t come for us right away we know we can get any look we want with a few more passes,” Smith said. “Things started opening up for us when we got out on the run and got some inside shots to go, we did a really nice job of moving the ball tonight.”

For as good as the Lady Trojans were offensively, defensively, they accomplished something much more difficult, holding Brittany Simpson, who averages 20 points on any given night, to just five points in the first three quarters and ten overall.

“Avery does a good job and everyone helped on Simpson,” she said. “They got some points late but there were only a few times in the first half where she really hurt us.”

SES also dominated in the turnover margin, forcing the Eagles to cough the ball up 22 times while committing just seven themselves.

“Last year nothing went our way in this game but we did a good job of forcing turnovers in our half-court trap and getting deflections in our zone,” Smith said.

The Lady Trojans now face a quick turnaround as game two of a back-to-back will see them travel to Ellsworth on Tuesday night.

🎥Watch live as Ellinwood comes to SES tonight!

As the regular season winds to a close, the Southeast of Saline boy’s basketball team prepares for one more major test against undefeated Ellinwood on their home floor.

The Trojans come into this contest on a six-game winning streak with an overall record of 16-1 while the Eagles enter at a flawless 17-0.

While this game could have ramifications for end-of-season rankings, Southeast’s focus remains on making the most of an opportunity to see another top-notch team before the postseason in two-weeks time.

“I told the guys that this is a game against a quality opponent but it doesn’t mean anything,” SES head coach Bryson Flax said. “This is a 2A team that we’re not going to see again, what matters is that we’ll see opponents like this moving forward and we have to be able to adapt on the fly and be extremely sound defensively to give ourselves a chance.”

As it always does, this matchup with Ellinwood will revolve around all-state senior Brit Dutton, who averages an absurd 25.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists on any given night.

“He’s an elite shooter, an elite creator and he’s very difficult to guard,” Flax said. “We had to tell the guys not to get discouraged when he hits three in a row on us, but we want to make sure that those looks are contested.”

Slowing Dutton down from the field is a tall task, but it is made all the more difficult by how often the senior standout gets to the charity stripe, something Southeast needs to avoid at all costs.

“We can’t give him a lot of easy, uncontested shots but we also can’t bail him out,” he said. “In his sophomore year, he shot 15 free-throws at our place and last year he battled foul trouble and still got 25. We have to make it difficult for him and we can’t get beat by anyone else.”

Beyond Dutton, this year’s Eagles are as dangerous as ever, with a strong rotation of role players slotting in around their star.

“Parker Scheck is probably the next best option for them,” Flax said. “He mostly plays around the rim but he’s active on the glass and he benefits from Brit garnering a lot of attention. They also have a few guys on the outside that can knock down rhythm jumpers if you overhelp, we have to be good on those guys.”

Tip-off between the Trojans and Eagles is set for 7:30 at Southeast of Saline High School, following the girls’ game at 6:00.

 </figure>As the regular season winds to a close, the Southeast of Saline boy’s basketball team prepares for one more major test against undefeated Ellinwood on their home floor.The Trojans come into this contest on a six-game winning streak with an overall record of 16-1 while the Eagles enter at a flawless 17-0.While this game could have ramifications for end-of-season rankings, Southeast’s focus remains on making the most of an opportunity to see another top-notch team before the postseason in two-weeks time.“I told the guys that this is a game against a quality opponent but it doesn’t mean anything,” SES head coach Bryson Flax said. “This is a 2A team that we’re not going to see again, what matters is that we’ll see opponents like this moving forward and we have to be able to adapt on the fly and be extremely sound defensively to give ourselves a chance.”As it always does, this matchup with Ellinwood will revolve around all-state senior Brit Dutton, who averages an absurd 25.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists on any given night.“He’s an elite shooter, an elite creator and he’s very difficult to guard,” Flax said. “We had to tell the guys not to get discouraged when he hits three in a row on us, but we want to make sure that those looks are contested.”Slowing Dutton down from the field is a tall task, but it is made all the more difficult by how often the senior standout gets to the charity stripe, something Southeast needs to avoid at all costs.“We can’t give him a lot of easy, uncontested shots but we also can’t bail him out,” he said. “In his sophomore year, he shot 15 free-throws at our place and last year he battled foul trouble and still got 25. We have to make it difficult for him and we can’t get beat by anyone else.”Beyond Dutton, this year’s Eagles are as dangerous as ever, with a strong rotation of role players slotting in around their star.“Parker Scheck is probably the next best option for them,” Flax said. “He mostly plays around the rim but he’s active on the glass and he benefits from Brit garnering a lot of attention. They also have a few guys on the outside that can knock down rhythm jumpers if you overhelp, we have to be good on those guys.”Tip-off between the Trojans and Eagles is set for 7:30 at Southeast of Saline High School, following the girls’ game at 6:00.Both games can be heard on KINA (910 AM or 107.5 FM) or streamed with live audio and video on the Salina Post.

Trojans host Ellinwood Eagles in showdown of top-five teams

With just one non-league game remaining on their schedule, the Southeast of Saline girl’s basketball team will return to the Purple Palace, looking to defend their home floor from Ellinwood in a rare Monday night matchup.

The Lady Trojans come into this contest riding a seven-game winning streak at 15-2 while the Lady Eagles enter at 9-8 looking to keep their heads above .500.

Southeast is also fresh off a wild 55-49 win over rival Minneapolis that saw a new career-high for Reagan Goetz, reinvigorating the Lady Trojan offense.

“I thought that was the first solid, all-around game we had played since Christmas,” SES head coach Shauna Smith said. “The scoring wasn’t as spread out but things were just coming easy for Reagan. We were better offensively as a whole and we did a good job of slowing things down.”

With the offense starting to click, Southeast becomes even more dangerous down the stretch, adding that to a defense that has held their opponents under 38 points on average.

“We’ve done a much better job since changing some things defensively and that showed the other night,” Smith said.

Now, the Lady Trojans turn their attention to an Ellinwood team that features one of the more prolific scorers that SES has seen this year in Brittany Simpson, who averages 21 points on any given night.

“She gets out and pushes the ball up the floor well,” she said. “Any time she can she’s going to drive on you and she finishes strong so we have to keep her in front of us and make sure we’re not fouling her. We can’t give her easy looks but we also can’t bail her out.”

If they can slow Simpson down, Southeast will still need to crack the code of a stout Eagle defense that has given them trouble in the past. “Last year we struggled with their zone so we have to hit a few shots from the outside to get ourselves going there,” Smith said. “We also need to work on not taking the first open shot we see so we can get some looks inside.”

Tip-off between the Lady Trojans and Eagles is set for 6:00 at Southeast of Saline High School, with the boys’ game to follow at 7:30.

Both games can be heard on KINA (910 AM or 107.5 FM) courtesy of Eagle Radio, and both can also be streamed with live audio and video on the Salina Post.

UPDATED: Sports on KINA this week

The Southeast of Saline Trojan train kept on rolling on Friday night with a 46-15 decimation of Minneapolis on the road, in one of the Trojan’s most complete defensive games of the season.

With this win, Southeast moves to 16-1 overall and 7-0 in league play while the Lions fall to 1-16.

The Trojans are now just one win away from securing a third consecutive league title and will have two chances to lock that up with upcoming games in Ellsworth and against Republic County.

Defense once again ruled the day for the Trojans, who have allowed just 24 points on average in their last two games.

“We only gave up 15 and only seven in the last three quarters combined,” SES head coach Bryson Flax said. “That’s crazy. We made them work for everything and we did a really good job defensively but right now our struggles are on the offensive end and we don’t have a lot of time to figure that out so we need to get after it.”

On offense, Southeast was once again led by Eli Sawyers and Nakari Morrical-Palmer, who added 16 and 13 respectively, but aside from Luke Gebhardt (7), no one else was able to contribute more than a single bucket.

“I got on them at halftime a little bit,” Flax said. “We were taking okay shots but we need to be taking good if not great shots. If we pass things up, attack the rim or make an extra pass we can get better looks, we just need to be willing to do those things.”

SES has just three regular-season bouts remaining as the Trojans prepare for a back-to-back to open next week hosting Ellinwood on Monday before traveling to Ellsworth on Tuesday.

“[Ellinwood] is no different than they were last year,” Flax said. “They’re really good. A lot of the kids who killed us last year are back and we’re not winning that game scoring 40 points.”

Trojans lock down Lions to remain perfect in league play

The Southeast of Saline girl’s basketball team got some good old-fashioned revenge on Friday night, handing Minneapolis a loss on their own home floor by a final score of 55-49.

This win moves the Lady Trojans to 15-2 and 7-1 in league play where they now hold sole possession of first place, pushing the Lady Lions to second at 6-2.

With just one more league win Southeast can claim at least a share of yet another league title, while two wins or a win and a Minneapolis loss would give the crown to the Lady Trojans outright.

This hard-fought road victory wouldn’t have been possible without a 34-point outburst by Reagan Goetz, who put on an absolute show in a career-high night.

“We knew that they were going to be out for blood and this was about revenge for us,” Goetz said. “We were going to be coming for each other and this was going to be a 32-minute battle to the buzzer. We knew we had to focus on rebounding and fighting through all the contact and holding.”

Goetz got the Lady Trojans rolling with an 11-point first quarter and after hitting just one three in the second, exploded down the stretch adding 13 in the third and seven in the fourth.

“We started out with some momentum and it continued to flow through the rest of the game,” she said. “It all goes back to my teammates, Minneapolis started face-guarding me a little more but my teammates started driving and kicking and us attacking the rim opened things us for us.”

Two Lady Lions were able to notch double digits but their efforts were in vain as Goetz’s performance proved too much to overcome and the Lady Trojans walked out of town with a 55-49 victory.

With just three games remaining in the regular season, Southeast will play a back-to-back to open week ten, hosting Ellinwood on Monday before traveling to Ellsworth on Tuesday.

Friday prep basketball scores

With a chance to win their sixth straight game and move one step closer to yet another league title, the Southeast of Saline boys’ basketball team will travel to Minneapolis for a rematch with the Lions.

The Trojans come into this contest at 15-1 ranked as the #3 team in Class 3A while the Lions enter at 2-15.

Southeast is also coming off of one of their best defensive performances of the season after putting some distance between themselves and Beloit with a 41-33 win on Tuesday.

“I thought it was a great game for us,” SES head coach Bryson Flax said. “Not every game is going to be us out on the run getting layups in transition, we’re going to have to earn buckets and I thought we got good shots against them, we just weren’t able to knock them down but our defense saved us, that was really encouraging to see.”

The first time these two met, the Trojans trounced Minneapolis 69-27, but Southeast knows that these league games are rarely ever as simple the second time around.

“We’re expecting a lot of effort from their guys,” Flax said. “They have nothing to lose. They’re going to come out with confidence, let it fly, and try to muddy up the game on both ends. We know they’re going to give us their best shot.”

While the Lions have continued to struggle in the win column, the team has looked much better in many aspects of the game, and will be hungry to prove it against a league foe on Friday.

“They rebound the ball better than they did early,” he said. “Teams were getting a ton of second chance opportunities against their zone and guys were out of position a lot but they’ve been better about that and they’ve played some teams tough.”

Despite making these improvements, Minneapolis still struggles in stretches to take care of the basketball, and this game has the potential to be another track meet if SES can push the pace.

“Speeding them up will be big for us,” Flax said. “We need to be going into postseason form and playing our best basketball right now. I feel like after Tuesday we’re really close to that defensively, offensively we’ve gotta get some of our guys who have been struggling going and gain that consistency down the stretch.

Tip-off between the Trojans and Lions is set for 7:30 following the girl's game at 6:00.

 </figure>With a chance to win their sixth straight game and move one step closer to yet another league title, the Southeast of Saline boys’ basketball team will travel to Minneapolis for a rematch with the Lions.The Trojans come into this contest at 15-1 ranked as the #3 team in Class 3A while the Lions enter at 2-15.Southeast is also coming off of one of their best defensive performances of the season after putting some distance between themselves and Beloit with a 41-33 win on Tuesday.“I thought it was a great game for us,” SES head coach Bryson Flax said. “Not every game is going to be us out on the run getting layups in transition, we’re going to have to earn buckets and I thought we got good shots against them, we just weren’t able to knock them down but our defense saved us, that was really encouraging to see.”The first time these two met, the Trojans trounced Minneapolis 69-27, but Southeast knows that these league games are rarely ever as simple the second time around.“We’re expecting a lot of effort from their guys,” Flax said. “They have nothing to lose. They’re going to come out with confidence, let it fly, and try to muddy up the game on both ends. We know they’re going to give us their best shot.”While the Lions have continued to struggle in the win column, the team has looked much better in many aspects of the game, and will be hungry to prove it against a league foe on Friday.“They rebound the ball better than they did early,” he said. “Teams were getting a ton of second chance opportunities against their zone and guys were out of position a lot but they’ve been better about that and they’ve played some teams tough.”Despite making these improvements, Minneapolis still struggles in stretches to take care of the basketball, and this game has the potential to be another track meet if SES can push the pace.“Speeding them up will be big for us,” Flax said. “We need to be going into postseason form and playing our best basketball right now. I feel like after Tuesday we’re really close to that defensively, offensively we’ve gotta get some of our guys who have been struggling going and gain that consistency down the stretch.Tip-off between the Trojans and Lions is set for 7:30 following the girl's game at 6:00.Both games can be heard on KINA (910 AM or 107.5 FM) or streamed with live audio and video on the Salina Post.

🎥Watch live as SES travels to Minneapolis to take on Lions tonight!

On Friday night, the Southeast of Saline girls’ basketball team will travel to Minneapolis, with an opportunity to avenge one of their only two losses on the year and take sole possession of first place in the NCAA.

The Lady Trojans come into this contest at 14-2 overall and 6-1 in league play while the Lady Lions enter at 13-4 with an identical league record.

The last time these two met, Minneapolis ended Southeast’s 28-game league winning streak with a 47-41 win on the Trojan’s home floor.

“In that first game, we didn’t play with a lot of enthusiasm,” SES head coach Shauna Smith said. “Some of the turnovers we had led to easy layups on the other end and we weren’t very aggressive, we played very soft.”

Since that meeting, the Lady Trojans’ only loss came at the hands of Hugoton at the Sterling Invite, while Minneapolis’ only losses have come to Sunrise Christian, St. John, and Hillsboro.

A win against the Lady Lions tonight wouldn’t just put SES in the driver's seat of the NCAA, it would also put them one win away from guaranteeing a share of this year’s title for the third straight season.

To do that, Southeast will have to overcome a team capable of beating them at their own game, with a small, but agile lineup known for their defensive tenacity.

“They’re going to get down and defend you,” Smith said. “They’re going to hang on you and they’re going to play deep into their bench so getting in foul trouble isn’t a big deal for them. They’ll press you the whole game and we have to value every possession.”

Defensively, the Lady Trojans will need to be stout on all five positions, as the Minneapolis attack has remained just as balanced down the stretch.

“All of them can score, they’re a lot like us,” she said. “They don’t have one go-to kid, all five of them can go get a bucket and they don’t have one big post inside.”

Tip-off between the Lady Trojans and Lions is set for 6:00 at Minneapolis High School, with the boys’ game to follow at 7:30.

Both games can be heard on KINA (910 AM or 107.5 FM) courtesy of Eagle Radio or streamed live with audio and video on the Salina Post.
