They must plan to attend a Kansas technical school, trade school, college or university after high school graduation.

Going to state and that weekend was so much fun too.” He noted that he also enjoyed the competition and the med- als. “We finished with a 4-6 re- cord during the round robin and lost the quarter finals.
