Tonganoxie wrestlers ready to return to mat; postseason sites announced

By Shawn Linenberger - | Jan 18, 2017

The Tonganoxie High wrestling team hopes Mother Nature is its friend this week.

Potential for inclement weather this past weekend forced the cancellation of the Basehor-Linwood invitational, marking the second time this season weather has thrown a wrench in schedule plans. The first happened the weekend of what was supposed to be the Randy Starcher Memorial Wrestling Tournament in December at Tonganoxie High.

Tonganoxie’s next competition is Friday in De Soto. The Chieftains are set to face Piper, Shawnee Mission North, Kansas City-Washington, Wyandotte and Wamego and host school De Soto.

The Chieftains then have a triangular a week later against traditional heavyweights. Clay Center and Goodland join THS in a competition at Baldwin.

The next day, the team is back at Baldwin for a tournament..

Tonganoxie will be heading south for its Class 4A regional Feb. 17 and 18.
