Upcoming first-round Class 5A sub-state basketball tournament pairings have been released.
The third-seeded Great Bend High School girls’ basketball team (13-6 overall) will be playing host to No. 6 Maize South (11-9) on Wednesday night at Panther Fieldhouse, starting at 7.
The winner plays either No. 2 seed Salina South (14-5) or Hays (9-10) on Friday night at 7 at the higher-seeded site.
Managing only three wins last season, the Lady Panthers, under first-year head coach Carrie Minton, captured second place in the Western Athletic Conference with a 5-2 record, behind only 6A Garden City.
Seventh-seeded Great Bend’s boys (5-14) travel to No. 2 seed Hays High (12-7) on Thursday for first-round play, starting at 7.
The winner plays either  No. 3 seed Maize South (8-12) or No. 6 Liberal (6-13) on Saturday night at 7 at the higher-seeded site.
Hays opened the season by winning seven straight before it lost its first game to none other than the Panthers, falling 48-40 at Panther Fieldhouse.
That was back on Jan. 8, and the Indians have won only five games since they had their unbeaten start snapped.
GBHS has lost seven straight.
