Tonganoxie, which will play host to a Class 4A tournament for the second time in three years, will be the No. 5 seed in its bracket. The Chieftains (16-17) will face No. 4 seed Bishop Ward (17-18) in the first round. THS went 2-0 against the Cyclones in the regular season.
The winner of the match will advance to face the winner of No. 1 Eudora (22-15) and No. 8 Piper (10-28) in the semifinals. The Chieftains lost their only meeting with Eudora this season, but went 2-0 against PHS.
