At the Class B-5 District track meet in Aurora, the Central City Bison left their hoofprints all over the competition, racing ahead to secure coveted spots at the NSAA State Track and Field Championships. With district titles swinging in the wind and personal records shattered on the track, the Bison pranced away with an impressive array of accolades.

Last Friday, under the brooding Nebraska skies, the Central City Bison charged through the Lou-Platte Conference Track and Field Meet in Wood River, clinching both the boys’ and girls’ team titles. The stormy weather proved no match for the Bison’s relentless spirit and athletic prowess.

At Monday’s Kernels baseball game held at the legendary Kernel Field, it was a a day for celebration even if the outcome wasn’t desired. The day brought an opporunity to highlight the seniors on the team including Blake Jensen (left) with his parents Jeff and Amber Jensen. The team also honored Leyton Dalland and his parents Ben and Ashley Nelson. With the pregame festivities out of the way the team battled Elkhorn in an exciting game. The game ended with a 7-6 Elkhorn victory. A much needed win to lift their spirits after a weekend of tornadoes in their area. A collection at the concession stand was taken and given to one player who lost his house.
