The Tonganoxie High wrestling team lost a pair of home duals on Thursday night.
The Chieftains played host to both Lansing and Bonner Springs but couldn’t put together enough wins against either Kaw Valley League foe to challenge them.
Lansing defeated THS, 58-18, and Bonner Springs won, 50-24.
Tonganoxie had six open weight classes against the Lions but junior Tyler Hand (130 pounds) and senior Jeremie Maus were able to pull off victories.
Only three slots remained open against the Braves and the Chieftains fared a little better, winning five of their 11 contested matches in the dual.
