Send-off for wrestlers
The Emporia High School wrestlers who will be competing in the State tournament this weekend will get a send-off from family, friends and supporters at 5:30 this evening at the school.
The celebration is open to the public. People are asked to gather around the doors east of the EHS swimming pools, where the wrestlers will exit the building after practice.
The wrestlers will leave for the tournament Friday.
