The Fort Riley Middle School wrestling team began practice Monday. Coach Bob Shefelton said there will be approximately 25 wrestlers on the team, but only one that is returning from last year. Almost all weight classes will be filled, which is different from previous seasons.

The Troopers compete in the NCKL with Abilene, Clay Center, Chapman, Marysville, Wamego and Concordia. The first wrestling match will be in Clay Center on Nov. 5. The Troopers will host the Don Stevens Wrestling Invitational on Dec. 6.
