Last Wednesday the Central City High School basketball team made history. The team stepped on the court at the Bob Devaney Sports Center with plenty of excitement, being the first Bison basketball team since 1947 to play in the Nebraska state basketball tournament.

The past met the present on a special day for the Bison basketball team on Monday for a pep rally honoring the 2023 Central City High School basketball team, but also the 1947 team.

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.

The Lady Eagles of Nebraska Christian knew they had their hands full as they headed north of Cairo to face a Centura basketball team that was the number two seed, but thought of as the top team in the state by many.

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.

The basketball teams at High Plains Community have had plenty of moments of success this season, but heading into the postseason they knew that they would find themselves up against some of the best area teams.

Regardless of how it comes to an end it has been a season to remember for the basketball teams at Nebraska Christian with plenty of success coming their way.

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.
