The degree of difficulty has gone up for the Platte County wrestling team for the 2025-26 season. The Pirates have been bumped up from Class 3 to Class 4, so they will be competing against the largest programs in the state. They seem up for the challenge. It certainly appeared that way in a Suburban […]
Following his team’s tri dual against William Chrisman and Raytown, the entire Grain Valley wrestling team let out shouts and cheers.

The Blue Springs wrestling team is one that has been rebuilding for the past few years. The program has slowly been getting better and during the 2025-26 season, it’s proving to be more competitive in duals.

Before the season started, Liberty head wrestling coach Dustin Brewer noted that his 2025-26 squad didn’t have as much experience as the Blue Jays’ last six state championship teams. That doesn’t mean that the expectations for Liberty have lowered, however. If you ask wrestlers like senior Cade Dunn and sophomore Rowdy Angst, the team still […]
