Manhattan Junior High Wrestling 2025–2026 Season Recap 🏆
And just like that, the 2025–2026 Wrestling Season has come to a close for Manhattan Junior High. Competing proudly in royal blue, black, and white, the Demons finished an incredible year with a Runner-Up finish at the State Tournament, highlighted by the program’s first-ever state finalists (2) and its first-ever 5th grade All-State medalists (2).
This program began seven seasons ago at MJHS with roughly 15 student-athletes. This year, 84 athletes registered for the team. Heading into the state series, the program had produced 5 All-State medalists and 21 state qualifiers. After this weekend, those numbers jumped to 11 All-State medalists and 30 state qualifiers, a testament to the growth, dedication, and hard work of our athletes.
🥇 All-State Honors:
• 2nd Place – 2
• 3rd Place – 2
• 4th Place – 1
• 5th Place – 1
A huge congratulations to our coaches for their leadership and commitment to the program as well. Thank you for all you do, Coach Galassi, Coach Quinn, Coach Egan, Coach Satka, and Coach Ebel!
Your dedication continues to build something special at Manhattan Junior High. Way to go, Demons! Congratulations on another outstanding season! 🤍🖤💙

Concluded another solid week at Ole MIS with our 20th Annual Pep Rally prior to State testing week. Thank you student council for your comical video and testing reminders & Mrs Abbott for capturing motivating statements from the staff. The noodle sword fight while balancing a pizza box challenge went to Ms Innes. She earned her peeps a pizza party. And finally, a huge shout out to Mrs Abbott for coordinating our 20th staff dance for students. Next week its time to get after it and show the State of Illinois who we are. Go Demons!

Good morning Ole MIS. A little shout out to our local Manhattan Girl Scout Troop that meets at MIS on Monday nights. When I came in this morning these little kindness & inclusiveness promotions were scattered on the lunchroom tables. Thank you girls! Things like this and seeing kids playing Go Fish at lunch is really neat to see. We are having a great year at The MIS. Parents should be very proud of their kids. Every day is a great day in my book. Lets finish strong! Go Demons
