Junior high boys wrestling wraps up this week with three events, high school winter sports practices begin, and scholars bowl hosts their tournament. Here are the activities for the week!
Yesterday, KSHSAA held a student summit meeting to get feedback from students on different KSHSAA policies as well as inform them about why KSHSAA makes certain decisions that they do. From Onaga, we had Junior Xavier Berges and Sophomore Andi Wegman representing our school. They participated in a combination of whole group sessions as well as smaller breakout sessions. It is always great to see our students get involved and be a representative for smaller schools in the state of Kansas. Thanks to both students for participating in this first event of its kind!
It was a clean sweep tonight for the junior high sports teams. The wrestling team got things started in Holton, as the boys took three wrestlers who all went 3-0. 8th graders Max Krause and Rayvin Hager, along with 7th grader Grayson Kaberline combined for a 9-0 record on the afternoon and got a pin in each of their matches. The wrestling team has a short turnaround as they head to Silver Lake on Saturday for their invitational.
This evening the basketball teams got their seasons started with an OTL matchup at Frankfort. The A-team girls started their games off with a 23-16 win over the Wildcats, then the B-team followed suit with a 22-15 win. On the boys side, it was the B-team who played first and notched a 41-11 win, then the A-team capped off the night with a 47-16 victory over Frankfort. The basketball teams will be in action again next Thursday when they head to Centralia.

Postseason accolades continue for the high school volleyball team. 48 hours after senior Natalie Boswell was named 1st Team All-League, it's been announced that fellow senior Lillie Weiser has been selected to play in the annual Northeast Kansas All-Star game at Highland Community College on Sunday.
An all-around player for the Buffaloes in 2025, Lillie finished at or near the top of multiple statistical categories. Offensively, she finished third on the team in serving aces and second in kills. Defensively, she set the tone in the middle with a team-leading 38 blocks on the year.
The annual all-star game showcases top volleyball athletes from HCC’s nine-county service area. Lillie was one of 24 players chosen for the event, and will play on the "Navy" team along with three other TVL players. Game time is set for 4:00pm at Ben Allen Field House on the campus of Highland Community College on Sunday afternoon. The game will be live streamed, a link for which can be found below.
Congratulations to Lillie on being chosen, and good luck on Sunday! We all know you'll do great!

Yesterday, our 8th and 10th grade students went to Rock Creek High School to participate in a program called Reality U. This program puts students through a simulation to teach students about responsible decision making and financial literacy. Students filled out a survey beforehand that shared what their GPA was, their future career aspirations, as well as personal life questions such as do they eventually plan to get married and have children.
The students went to different stations including Housing, Transportation, Insurance, Utilities, and more to determine how to manage their monthly income. For those that planned on being married, they had to travel to these stations with their "married" partners. If they said they were interested in having kids, they had to complete stations with crying babies to look after.
The Onaga students represented our school well by being engaged in the program and participating in the wrap up discussions afterwards.
