Onaga USD 322 - Onaga | Havensville | Wheaton

The high school wrestling team competed in the first of three tournaments to qualify for state this past weekend as they went to Marysville for the District round of competition. In order to move on to the next round the wrestlers had to place in the top four at the District tournament, and the Buffaloes had three wrestlers do just that. Junior Rilyn Mayginnes took 1st place, while junior Kaid Schwant and freshman Landon Koelling each took 3rd place. Those three wrestlers will move on to the Regional tournament which will take place this Saturday in Rossville. Congratulations Rilyn, Kaid and Landon! Good luck this weekend as you continue your path to the State meet in Hays!!!

The High School wrestling team is gearing up for the post season as this year two extra rounds of competition have been added to the road to Hays. The move is not expected to be permanent, as it was made in an effort to keep the number of wrestlers and spectators lower during this Covid era of high school sports. That new format begins today the first round of competition and will take place in Marysville at the 3-2-1A District meet. Onaga will take on the likes of AACHS, Doniphan West, Horton, Marysville, Pleasant Ridge, Riley County, Sabetha, Nemaha Central, Troy, and Riverside. The top four wrestlers in each weight class will move on to the Regional Tournament which will take place in Rossville next Saturday. The top four from that tournament will move on to the Sub-State tournament the following Saturday, February 20th, and the top four wrestlers in each weight class from that tournament will go on to the State Tournament in Hays the last weekend of February. Wrestling gets underway at noon today and will be completed on two mats. All matches will be live streamed on the Marysville Bulldog Wrestling Facebook page which is linked below. Good luck to all of our wrestlers and GO BUFFALOES!!! https://www.facebook.com/Marysville-Bulldog-Wrestling-424615281064962
