(03/15/10)LINCOLN -- Hayes Center High School head boys basketball coach Louis Cuellar and his team would probably be in favor of abolishing the semifinal round of the state basketball tournament.

Head coach Kris Freeland's team is seeded eighth in C-2, and the 16-7 Tigers aren't getting much respect in state tournament previews...

McCook senior 10th in two events at state swim meet
(03/01/10) LINCOLN -- The McCook High School swimming and diving teams fight a numbers game when it comes to state meet competition. There is only one school classification for Nebraska high school swimming and diving.

So when McCook scores points at state, it's probably considered a pretty big deal...
