Holton's Austin Frakes (shown above, middle) fights for a rebound with Royal Valley's Derrick Barger (left) and Noah Rottinghaus (right) in Friday's game. While Frakes and the rest of the Wildcats held their own inside early, the Panthers found some room to work in the second half and pulled away for a 43-32 victory.
  Neither Holton nor Royal Valley wanted to give up much ground in a county rivalry game on the basketball court Friday night. Both teams played hard-nosed defense and kept the other in check, but a key stretch late gave the Panther boys just enough separation to pick up a rare 43-32 victory in the...
Wildcat Hayley Thompson (shown above, second from left) pulls up for a short jumper in the first half of Friday's rivalry game against the Panthers. It was the three that lifted HHS to an early lead, though, and ultimately a 50-38 victory over RVHS.
  After an explosive offensive outburst in last Tuesday’s win over Hiawatha, it looked like the Holton girls basketball team caught some of that lightning in a bottle and brought it with them to Hoyt on Friday for a rivalry game against Royal Valley. Holton shot lights out from beyond the three-...
Wildcat Lawson Henry (shown above, at right) grapples with an opponent from Tonganoxie during a dual earlier this season. Henry is one of several young wrestlers who keep coming along for the HHS wrestling team this winter.
  The young Wildcat wrestlers have been busy on the mat and had their third stand-alone dual of the season last Thursday, making the trip north to take on Big Seven League foe Sabetha. It was a tightly contested match-up between the last two league champions, but the Blue Jays came out slightly...
HHS guard Courtney Boswell (shown above, second from left) comes down with a rebound in the second half of Monday's home game against Hayden. Boswell helped Holton keep things close, but the visitors managed to pull out a 62-51 victory.
  To start the basketball season, the Holton girls were tested on the road against Sabetha (currently ranked second in Class 3A) and coach Jon Holliday and his players didn’t like the results. Against a similarly tough Hayden team (#6 in 4A-DII) on Monday, host HHS managed a passing grade, but...
  Before the winter sports season even began, high school basketball and wrestling teams across the state of Kansas gained a little more insight into their future as postseason sites for all classes were announced last week by the Kansas State High School Activities Association. The outcome for...
Holton's Sarah Sweet (shown above, at left) attempts to put a shot up on the post while teammate Quinn Holaday defends during a scrimmage at a recent practice.
  In some ways, the past couple of seasons have been like a prolonged period of growing pains for the Holton girls basketball team. With several upperclassmen back to lead the team in 2015-2016, though, HHS coach Jon Holliday is hoping that pays off for a veteran group of Wildcats this winter. “It’...
Holton's Justin Pool (shown above, at right) tries to get the outside for a big run in last Saturday's state championship game. Field conditions prevented HHS from making those big plays on offense, while Holcomb got just enough to claim the 4A-DII state title.
  In more ways than one, Holton was in a familiar position in Salina on Saturday in the Class 4A-Division II state championship action. The Wildcats were making their seventh state title game appearance over the weekend, but some bad habits from earlier in the season came back to bite the team...
