Tourney time is done for all eight city basketball teams, and just three to four weeks (depending on classification) of regular-season play remain before the high school version of March Madness begins.

True, the postseason actually starts in February, but February Fun just doesn’t have the same ring.

Now that teams have had their final tuneups in a tournament setting, it’s time to evaluate how they might fare with their postseason survival hanging in the balance.

This week, let’s take a look at the four boys teams:

Lawrence High – A quick refresher on the Lions’ two tournament trips this season offers valuable insight into how they’ll fare down the stretch. When they consistently connect from beyond the three-point arc, the Lions (8-5) can compete with anyone, as evidenced by their title at the Blue Valley Shootout. But when LHS isn’t firing on all cylinders, bad things happen – such as a sixth-place showing earlier this month at the Topeka Invitational.

Senior guard Tyler Knight has remained a dominant scorer all season. However, the Lions need more consistent output from backcourt mates Chance Riley, Nathan Padia and Kristian Pope and a dedication to defensive rebounding if they’re going to survive a Class 6A sub-state bracket that includes three teams – Free State, Olathe South and Topeka – that already have beaten LHS this season.

Free State boys – Rarely does a team find itself 13 games into the regular season without knowing its true identity, but such is the case for the Firebirds (5-8). Injuries and illness have kept Free State from knowing exactly what works best, whether it be an offense built around senior guard Scott Heitshusen and his long-range proclivities or a system more reliant on role players such as combo guard Kyle Schreiner and center Christian Ballard. The former produced a 1-2 mark at the Leavenworth Invitational in December, the latter a 2-1 mark two weeks ago at the McPherson Invitational.

The Firebirds can be dangerous on any given night, as evidenced by their victory on Lawrence High’s home floor. The question is whether they can be dangerous twice in a row and nab a state berth.

Seabury Academy boys – While the Seahawks (6-7) currently are a game below .500, they are 4-2 against Class 1A opponents. The Seahawks own two victories over Kansas School for the Deaf and one over Burlingame – two of the schools in their five-team regional – and they’ve split two games with Williamsburg. Overall, Seabury is 3-3 in tournament play, with two of the losses coming to 3A foes.

Should the 1-2 senior punch of guard Adam Davis and forward Grayson Dillon perform consistently on offense, the Seahawks could find themselves headed to sub-state play.

Veritas Christian boys – Using tournament play to dissect the Eagles’ postseason chances is dicey. They torched the field at the Shea Invitational in December, but lost twice to Class 2A teams two weeks ago at the Elwood Invite.

The true barometer for Veritas (9-6) is its 9-4 mark against fellow Kansas Christian Athletic Assn. foes. With a dominant big man in senior center Mark Randtke, the Eagles should be in the mix for the first state title

in the program’s three-year history.
