Central Heights Vikings exit Frontier League
Central Heights High School will withdraw from the Frontier League after a special board meeting gave officials authority to arrange the pullout. Principal Tom Horstick said a new league formed mainly from similar sized Frontier schools is likely, with Wellsville Osawatomie Jayhawk Linn and Prairie View showing interest. Prairie View has already voted to leave, and Central Heights expects its enrollment to continue shrinking, possibly dropping from 3A to 2A within four to five years as 4A and 5A schools dominate the league.
