Tonganoxie High boys golf proved to be one of the top Frontier League teams this year.

THS placed second at the league meet Thursday at Sycamore Ridge.

The Chieftains took second at league with a 370.

THS also fielded a team that day in the Spring Hill Invitational, taking seventh in that tourney.

Tonganoxie was led by Andrew Willson, who was the league runner-up with an 81.

Remi Baldock placed sixth in league with a 93 and Colton Brusven tied for 10th with a 96. The other counting score belonged to Carter Gratton with a 100. The other two participants were Noah Skelley and Dajarrio White.

Tonganoxie now turns its attention to regionals, which will be May 17 at Wamego. Qualifying teams and individual golfers will then advance to the Class 4A state meet May 24 and 25 at Mariah Hills Golf Course in Dodge City.
