its no doubt that with the storied traditions of northwest kansas wrestling, ark city and others,they have some of the most knowledgeable and devoted fans. you also count effingham in this group. for a town of less then 750 and the surrounding area of atchison county they have more then shown how great and devoted the fans are.
wrestling on a high level is a tradition dating back to the mid 60s. they have dominated their league and area for long time and at times carried the mantle of eastern kansas wrestling.
the team goes where ever they can and the fans follow right along. alot of times driving 100+ miles away and competing against much larger schools. more often then not winning and/or holding their owm.
sure they only have 4 state team titles, but not many schools outside the prior mentioned schools can match that. there also numerous individual titles and placers.
with all that being said they do deserve the consideration of being one of the best wrestling towns/communities in the state.
this is not meant as an arguement, but just giving credit to a school and community that doesn't always receive the credit and respect it deserves.
for those that do not know its called
