- Tonganoxie tough at Butch Foster Memorial Baseball Classic, reaches title game for first time in school history
- May 3, 2017
- Tonganoxie High has participated in the Butch Foster Memorial Classic for several years. It’s been a chance for THS to play in an actual stadium, as the tournament always takes place down the road at CommunityAmerica Ballpark in Kansas City, Kan. The Chieftains historically have done OK at the event, a victory here or there, but never a big tournament run. This year, THS was a No. 8 seed at 1-8 entering the tournament, so on paper THS wasn’t a favorite. That mattered little once the Chieftains took the field this year.
