NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — McCook’s tennis boys were second only to Class A long-time nemesis Kearney in Saturday’s North Platte Invitational.

“We’ve been placing second to Kearney for quite a few years,” coach Matt Wiemers said a post-tourney radio interview with KICX.

The defending Class B state team champs still finished clearly ahead of Scottsbluff’s 14 points, Lexington’s 13, host North Platte with eight and Holdrege scoring three points.
