On multiple occasions over the past 76 years the Central City High School basketball team found themselves just one game away from making history as a trip to the Nebraska State Basketball Tournament was in their reach. With each attempt the result was the same, and each time it meant the end of an otherwise great season.

STATE BOUND BISON.

Bison Snap 76 Year State Tournament Drought.

When the 2022-23 wrestling season started in December of last year many area wrestlers looked to make their mark on the mat this season. Heading into the NSAA State Wrestling Championships at the CHI Health Center in Omaha last Thursday there was just 12 area wrestlers still standing as they began their journey to greatness.

The Central City Bison have found plenty of success this season with a 22-3 record, but now they will look to finish strong late in the post season. Seniors Clark Brown (11) and Ashton Gragg (0) will also be looking to finish their careers strong as they hope to be part of the team that not only helps rebuild Bison basketball, but also helps the program reach new heights. Central City will head into battle on Thursday night at 7pm against Aurora as they look to finish their sub district with a win ahead of next week’s district finals. Central City is looking to reach the NSAA State Basketball Tournament for the first time since 1947 and a win on Thursday will help them in their quest to host a district final next week.

Congratulations Bison State Medalists.
