Despite a midday rain delay that temporarily soaked the course and halted momentum, the Central City boys golf team remained composed and competitive at Monday’s district golf tournament.

The Central City/Centura Kernels are marching through the Class C State Baseball Championships with swagger, depth, and determination.

Five straight trips to state. But this one hits different.

The Nebraska Christian men’s and women’s track teams travelled to the Goldenrod Conference Track and Field Championship last Friday in Humphrey. When the final tape was broken, the Lady Eagles exhibited talent and depth in running away with the team championship.

The Central City boys golf team spent last week rewriting the record book and climbing the leaderboard—twice. On Thursday, May 8, the Bison teed off at the LouPlatte Conference Championship and walked away with a third-place team finish.

The hay is in the barn—or at least most of it is. With state dreams on the line and the May sun trying to melt spikes to the track, the Bison track and field team showed up ready to run, jump, and throw their way into the conversation at Tuesday’s Class B-5 District meet.

Central City track and field athletes put their names in the conference history books once again at the Lou-Platte Conference Championships, with the Bison boys bringing home the team title for the second consecutive year.

After wrapping up a regular season filled with marquee wins, walk-off moments, and a whole lot of green and gold grit, the Central City/Centura Kernels are shifting their focus to the postseason.

Last week at High Plains Community, it was a moment to celebrate as two local athletes took a step to further both their academic and athletic careers. (left) signed with Nebraska Wesleyan where he will compete in track and field.

Family, friends, and coaches filled the Performing Arts Center on Tuesday afternoon to celebrate a major milestone for five Central City student-athletes. Each athlete signed their national letters of intent, committing to continue their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level.
