TOPEKA CAPITAL-JOURNAL All-Class, All-State Basketball Teams HOME
In 1970 the TCJ decided to pick an ALL CLASS ALL STATE TEAM. The list is available at their website. I have added as best as I could find out the next level of play for each player. I have also added some notable D-1 players that did not make the top five (1997-2003) just to give some 20/20 hindsight to the list.
* Two time pick
DIVISION I = Played in at least 40 games and/or scored 100 or more career points.
Division I = No significant play
Division II, III, NAIA, JC = Less than Division I FF = Final Four AA = All-AMERICAN
