Heritage returns to Bethel Friday to play Academy in the first round of the KCAA Super Region. Due to COVID-19, the normal region tourney process was shuttered for the 2020-21 season, and the KCAA combined regions to create a Super Region to cut down on travel.
Seeding for next week’s KCAA State Tournament will be announced following Super Region play.
