1938-39 Return to Year-by-Year HOME Update : April 20, 2016
STATE CHAMPIONS CLASS A: Winfield CLASS B: Nickerson
This was the last year of competition under the name Topeka Catholic High School. The team came to life near the end of the season. As usual, TCHS was never in the race for the Jayhawk crown. The boys nearly upset Herington in the CLASS A Regional at Wamego. They were ahead the entire game until the Railroaders tied it to send the game to overtime.
