From the Sidelines

By Matt Friedrichs - | Mar 29, 2000

Play Ball
Spring training is almost over. The Tonganoxie High School track, baseball and softball teams begin their spring seasons this week.

Standing on the sideline to cheer on one of the local teams is a great excuse for stepping out of the office a couple of minutes early, especially on a sunny spring afternoon.

Check the schedules and I’ll see you at the fields next to the fairground and at the track.

Kids Wrestling
Five members of the Tonganoxie Kids Wrestling Club participated Saturday and Sunday at the state tournament in the Topeka Expo Center.

Mike Andrews, wrestling at 155 pounds in the under 16 class, placed fifth. He was 4-2 at the state tournament.

Elsy Folsom, wrestling at 265 pounds in the under 14 class, placed sixth. Ross Starcher, wrestling at 96 pounds in the under 12 class, placed sixth.

Andy Knootz and Travis Adcox also participated at the tournament.

Basketball tournament
Project Graduation is sponsoring its fourth annual tournament to raise money for the class of 2000.

Eight teams composed of high school students, alumni, their spouses and district employees will vie for the title.

The games will be played April 8 beginning at 8 a.m. in the junior high gymnasium.

Admission is $1 for adults and 50 cents for children. A concession stand will offer grilled hamburgers and hotdogs.

A silent auction of donated easter baskets also will be featured.
