The Central City High School girls basketball team has shown great promise at times this season and as we enter into the final month on the schedule they are looking to finish strong to keep building for the future. The young team with no seniors has already surpassed their win total from last year and this past week they looked to add to that win column.

Last Thursday in a battle of the Eagles it was heartbreak for the Eagles of Nebraska Christian as both the boys and girls squads felt the agony of defeat in dramatic fashion. Shades of the Parkview Christian game as the Lady Eagles of Nebraska Christian watched Wood River score the final points of the game in a 36-35 defeat. The boys too fell to Wood River in a tight contest, but both teams would show that they still have plenty of fight left as the season heads down the stretch.

With just one more weekend to go before teams set their sites on punching their tickets to the NSAA State Wrestling Championships in Omaha, teams are looking to finish strong. Both Nebraska Christian and High Plains Community wrestling teams took the mat this past week looking to keep building down the stretch.
