Tonganoxie High girls soccer falls to Louisburg in season opener; other teams to start season next week

By Staff | Mar 21, 2018

Tonganoxie and McLouth teams got the spring season started with the first practices of the year Feb. 26.

Slowly but surely, those teams are playing their season openers.

The Tonganoxie High girls soccer team opened the season Thursday with a road contest at future Pioneer League foe Louisburg.

The Wildcats proved to be too much for the Chieftains, as LHS made a 2-0 halftime lead stick for the victory.

Teams did not play this week, which is spring break throughout the area.

However, next week all Tonganoxie teams will have gotten their first taste of competition against an opponent not wearing the same uniforms.

THS baseball doesn’t get started until Monday when the Chieftains take on Jeff West at home at the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds in a junior varsity matchup. THS opens the varsity season Tuesday in Meriden against Jeff West. Girls soccer’s home opener is that day against Maranatha Academy.

Chieftain softball opens Wednesday, March 28, at Spring Hill, THS golf March 29 at Bonner Springs and THS track March 30 at Junction City.

For the MHS softball team, the season also gets started Tuesday, as the Bulldogs take on Atchison. That doubleheader is on the road.

The Bulldogs then are at home March 29 against Basehor-Linwood.
