We apologize for the misunderstanding with Girls State Wrestling. We received an email on Sunday about the start times which indicated Friday but they really meant Saturday.

What a generous donation from Stec Electric, Valentine Dental Clinic, and Scotty's!


Today's MS Boys Basketball game in O'Neill has been postponed until Feb 11.

Todays SWC Varsity Boy's basketball game in Ogallala has been postponed until tomorrow at the same time 5:15 CT.

Tomorrow's girls basketball game with Ainsworth has been postponed until Wednesday due to the weather. Cozad is also scheduled to play in Ainsworth and they have canceled school so rather than having the officials come up twice from Kearney we postponed the game.
Boy's game in Ogallala will be decided first thing in the morning as they didn't get as much snow and we will evaluate road conditions and make a decision.

Fan attendance for wrestling Saturday @ Ainsworth.
Coach Allison will give each wrestler 2 tickets to distribute. You must present ticket at the gate to be able to enter.
