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 Bison collectively fired a team score of 350, led by standout junior Karter Negus, whose consistent performance earned him a third-place individual finish and a return trip to the Class B State Golf Championships.

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 Lady Eagles racked up nine gold medals and parlayed considerable depth to dominate the field.

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.

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. The C-2 District Tournament will be held on their home turf at Kernel Field, with action beginning Thursday, May 8, and the championship game slated for Friday, May 9 at 5:00 p.m.
