@Hts_Hoops alumni @Chase_Rob3 with a big night for @CowleyHoops

[Erin Nicklaus @316Sundevils]

It was an honor to support my brother Brian Jackson (posthumously) and the Jackson family w/ Falcon legends Jerry Stine and @WHtsHoops Joe Auer. Your day 1’s will always be there. No matter the time or distance. I think the #12/#9 one-two punch can still make it go!

BIG GAME TJ!

17 points | 14 rebounds

What is so much fun about @Tj_williams3 game is that he is such a connector on the court.

These are the types of "one-more" passes that coaches and teammates love. Upgraded a good shot into a great one. He's been doing that since the @WHtsHoops days.

[Taylor Eldridge @tayloreldridge]

Gary Thomason and @ZTBush5 took over programs from championship coaches.

In their own ways, they've kept the standard high and returned @WHtsHoops and @MaizeHoops back to the Class 6A state tournament — where they meet tonight in the first round.

They're back!
Wichita Heights @WHtsHoops returns to the KS Class 6A State 🏀Tournament for the 6th consecutive season & the 15th time in the last 18 years (2008-2026).

However, 2025-26 is the Falcons' first season under Joe Auer's protege, first-year HC Gary Thomason.

I asked Coach Thomason after Saturday's 52-point win in the Sub-State Final how it feels to - at this point - maintain "The Heights Way" in his first season leading the power-house program. #TheHeightsWay @KSHSAA @WHtsAthletics @WichitaUSD259

Pack Auer House as the Falcons host Garden City for a Sub-State Championship tomorrow! #TheHeightsWay
