Due to the high number of power outages with several providers throughout the school district, and several other issues related to the weather activity this afternoon and evening, there will be no school in Onaga at USD 322 tomorrow.   Due to the unique circumstances, activities will still occur IF they are held.

The Christmas Concert has been postponed that was scheduled for this evening due to weather, late dismissal from school, and for time to calm down from sheltering for severe weather for our younger kiddos. We will announce the new date and time tomorrow. Thank you and be safe.

The high school wrestling team hosted their annual Onaga Classic invitational tournament last Saturday. Because their first tournament in Lincoln the weekend before was canceled, the home meet was the first action of the season for Onaga and it was a success. With 19 teams in the tournament, the most the meet has EVER had, the team as a whole was very successful. They finished the meet in 3rd place overall, just behind Rock Creek High School and Manhattan High School. Highlighting the day were seniors Rilyn Mayginnes and Kaid Schwant, as well as sophomore Landon Koelling who all three finished the day undefeated and champions of their weight classes. Sophomore Bryson Conger finished in 2nd place in his weight class, which is very impressive considering he had not wrestled in years before this season. Fellow sophomore Hunter Lamond finished 3rd in his weight class, doing so by winning the 3rd/4th place match in a triple overtime thriller. Juniors Nick Thompson and Payton Falk, as well as sophomore Tatum Lara also won matches to earn points towards the 3rd place finish. Zach Peters, Wyatt Boggs, Corbin Kolterman, and Wyatt Pennington also competed for the varsity team and showed improvement in every match throughout the day. Head coach Brett LaMar is expecting those improvements to show on the mat really soon. Coach LaMar would also like to thank the parents, tournament workers, and all that came and supported OHS Wrestling. The season looks like it will be a good one for the Buffalo grapplers. They are next in action on Thursday, December 16th when they head to St. Marys High School for the Kaw Valley Duals starting at 4 p.m. Nice job boys, keep up the hard work! GO BUFFALOES!!!

The Onaga High School wrestling team gets its season underway tomorrow under the direction of new head coach Brett LaMar. The team will get the year started at home this year as it hosts the annual Onaga Classic, with wrestling beginning at 9:30am. Varsity action will take place in the north gym, while the JV tournament will be held in the south gym. Good luck to all of our wrestlers today, GO BUFFALOES!!!

The high school basketball teams are on the road tonight for the third time in as many games to start the season, as they head to Randolph to take on Blue Valley in a non-league tilt. This is the second of the replacement games for the beginning-of-the-season tournament that Blue Valley has hosted for several years, so it will not count towards either team's league records. Action began at 4:45pm with half of a JV girls game, followed by half of the C-team boys in their new gym, while a JV boys game will be played in the old gym. After those, the varsity girls will begin in the new gym around 6:00pm. The varsity boys will begin at that game's conclusion. If you are unable to attend, Blue Valley live streams their games on their YouTube channel called "Blue Valley Rams Live," a link for which can be found below. Good luck to all our teams tonight, GO BUFFALOES!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwnMuddrjds

The junior high basketball teams are coming off of a clean sweep on Monday night, as the A-team and B-team girls and boys teams came away with wins. Tonight, they look to continue their winning ways as they hit the road for the first time this season and head to Troy. Because Troy uses only one gym, games will start a few hours early today with tipoff of the B-team girls game scheduled for 4:00pm. They will only be playing two quarters, then the B-team boys will take the court for a full game. The A-team girls and A-team boys will follow. If you aren't able to make the trip to Troy, all games will be live streamed on the NFHS Network, a link for which can be found on the home page of the school website. The NFHS Network also has an app that can be downloaded to watch games on your favorite device. Good luck to all of our teams tonight, GO BUFFALOES!!! 2021-2022 Rosters and Results.....
