The Kansas State High School Activity Association has announced the sites for its 2019-2020 championship games for fall and winter sports.
The sites for football remain unchanged while basketball changed the location of the 2A state tournament to Manhattan from Hays. The biggest change is the addition of girls wrestling.
The inaugural girls state championship will be held at Tony’s Pizza Event Center in Salina on Feb. 27 — the day before 4A boys state wrestling is scheduled to begin at the same location.
Girls tennis will also see changes.

Distance dominant and right on track.
