On Monday and Tuesday, the Boone Central Lady Cardinals golf team traveled to North Platte to compete in the Class C State Golf Championship. “It was an awesome ending to such a happy season,” said Coach Amy Allgood.

The Lady Panthers noticed a loss against the Palmer Tigers in the team’s most recent matchup on October 17, falling 3-0 in the game series. The Panthers gave up sets, 2523, 25-16 and 25-14 in the ‘best of five’ game.

In the world of Boone Central Cross Country, the work of the short fall season is funneled into a narrow gap that ends with the Class C-3 District Championship. To make it through this narrow gap a team must place in the top 3 of the competition while an individual must be among the top 15 placers.

The Nebraska State Cross Country Championships will be held this coming Friday, October 25th at the Kearney Country Club. The meet will start at 12:00 noon with a Class A and B session. The Class C boys will take off at 3:00 pm while the girls will start at 4:00.
