Washburn Rural boys basketball team made sure it wasn't deja vu all over again Tuesday night, with the Junior Blues rolling to a 51-33 home Class 6A sub-state semifinal win over Manhattan to advance to Friday's championship game at Free State.
Rural had been upset by Wichita West on its home floor in last year's sub-state semis, but the 14-6 Junior Blues were never really in danger on Tuesday, scoring the first 9 points of the night and cruising to their third win of the season over the Junior Blues' Centennial League rival.
