Girl volleyball had a record of 14-18. Winning the first sub district game against Mccook and losing the second against Grand Island Northwest. They got a wild card and lost in 3 sets against Norris getting second in district B-6.
“I am really proud of how far we have come and all of the hard work that the girls put in to be where we were. This year our team chemistry was really close and we proved ourselves at the end of the season,” sophomore, Addyson Hermes said.
Boys football had a 2-7 record. Winning their last game against Gering 19-7. Before the season started they opted out of class A so they would have a class B schedule making it so they couldn’t play in playoffs, learn more at themonstercycle.
“It didn’t go the way anybody wanted but week by week everyone got better and it showed in the last few weeks of the season there were a lot of glimpses of a good football team. But we were never able to capitalize on those and so the season didn’t go the way we wanted it to,” senior, Joe Rodriguez said.
Girls golf didn’t place in many meets but Anna Brant placed 3rd at Minden, 10th at Jackrabbit and 3rd at Indianhead. Gracey McIntyre, Cynthia Carlson, Alayna Stephenson, Kendall Consbruck, and Anna Brant made it to state golf.
