The Liberty Eagles wrestling team presents the students vs. staff sumo wrestling tournament. This event is to help the LHS wrestling team raise money for the program. There are 21 staff members who are participating in the event on April 22 at LHS.

“I thought the idea would be a fun way to get the students and staff to have a great time,” said Mr. Eldredge. The doors open at 6:15 p.m. and matches start at 7.

“I don’t think I will win, I know I will win,” stated Mr. Jolliff.

There are silent auctions, attendance prizes, a 50/50 raffle, the concession stand will be open, and there will be spirit wear to be bought to support Liberty High School.

Tickets at the door can be purchased for $10.00. There are two different colored shirts: blue for cheering on students, and red for cheering on the staff. The shirts are available for $12.

There are bout cards for sale, which are cards which allow you to challenge a teacher on the staff team, and only 21 students will get to buy bout cards, which cost $30 and is on a first come first come basis. For a bout card you receive a medal for participation, a winner’s medal and an official T-shirt for competing in the match. They have already sold 2 or 3 bout cards for the matches.
