1950-51 Return to Year-by-Year HOME
STATE CHAMPIONS CLASS AA: Wichita East CLASS A: Norton CLASS B: Carbondale
Hayden repeated as Jayhawk champion and made a return trip to the CLASS A State tournament in Salina. Team started out with longest winning streak, at that time, in school history. Many were close contests - this was the era when visiting teams might get enough seats for their players and standing room for their cheerleaders at Hayden East. Hayden was able to win a first round game against Iola, but lost the quarter-final against Abilene.
