There are also a few changes in the high school league this year with the re-alignment of divisions.  McPherson belongs to the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League, Division II.  Members of our division this year will be Andover, Andover Central, Arkansas City, Goddard, McPherson and Valley Center.  Next year (11-12) Goddard-Eisenhower HS will also join our division.  Leaving division II this year is Campus and Newton (moved up to D I), and  Winfield (dropped down to D III).   The second major change in the league will be a increase in ticket prices.  The AVCTL voted in the spring on the following rates:  Varsity contests adults $6, K-12 $5, sub-varsity contests adults $4, K-12 $3.  This reflects a $1 increase at all levels from recent years.

So Gayer gambled, though he admitted it was really no gamble at all. “We had nothing to lose,” Gayer said after his revamped lineup worked like a charm to give the Bullpups their 11th league title since 1989. “Winfield was going to win. They’re just too deep.” read more
