McPherson is favorite in AA finals
Scrappy McPherson is expected to provide the toughest obstacle for Wyandotte. The only unbeaten AA team in the state, the Bullpupds demonstrated their power by dominating a regional which included Wichita East and Southeast, two of the state's top five teams. Although a short team, averaging just over six feet, the Central Kansas League champions are balanced with three players scoring over 10 points a game. They are accurate, occasionally hitting 60 per cent of their field goal attempts.
Walt Shublom's Wyandotte is led by 6-3 forward Pierre Russell, the state's leading scorer with a 21.7 game average. Although the Bulldogs failed to win the Sunflower League title this year, for the first time in the league's history, they topped champion Shawnee Mission North in the regional finals to earn a chance for tehir eighth state championship.
Topeka's Trojans have lost twice to Wyandotte in regular season play but have shown better form since the second loss in early February by sporting a seven-game winning streak. Led by 5-11 Preston Carrington at 17.0 points a game, Topeka's four other starters are also averaging in double figures.
Semifinal play will begin tomorrow at 7 p.m. pitting the winner of the Ward-Campus game against that of the Wyandotte-Independence contest. In the second semifinal at 8:30 McPherson or Garden City will play the winner of tonight's Topeka-Achison game.
