The Nevada girls wrestling team isn’t one that has been on the radar as a contender for a state plaque in recent years. Perhaps that could change in the 2024-25 season and its performance in the Steve Leslie Invitational Friday at Pleasant Hill High School showed the Tigers could be a team to keep an […]
With several open weights, Mexico as a team would have an uphill battle against any of the teams they faced on their season home opener. However, two of these teams are District 2 opponents and will provide a nice barometer for the Lady Bulldogs on how they would fare in February. Two of the three […]
The Rockhurst wrestling team could be one to look out for during the 2024-25 season. Well, it at least appeared that way at Thursday’s tri dual against Ruskin and Grandview at Ruskin High School. The Hawklets dominated as they only lost one contested match between both duals as they cruised to a 62-12 victory over […]
Lee’s Summit West came into Wednesday’s season opening dual against Raymore-Peculiar at a disadvantage. The Titans came in with two open spots while Ray-Pec had a full lineup, so West surrendered 12 points on forfeits.

Head coach Dustin Brewer and his grapplers hope to extend that state championship streak to six this […]
Last season, the St. Pius X (Kansas City) boys wrestling team made history. It became the first Warriors wrestling team to win a state championship in the history of the program.
