The Greeley boys basketball team paid the price for several years to win the Class D-2 State Championship. The five starters, who had worked together since the sixth grade, drove a 100-mile round trip to Grand Island Senior High to participate in a Performance Improvement Program last summer. Greeley coach Dennis Hurlburt said his state championship team was a unique combination of athleticism and dedication. The identified areas include three sections along Highway 281, three sections along Highway 30 and one along Highway 34. Numerous companies in Grand Island, Lincoln and Omaha are sponsoring a benefit for Logan Flood, who was critically injured in a plane crash near Ainsworth.
Flood is a former Wood River resident.
Welsch had left the project for awhile because of extensive time commitments. Heather VanHunnik of Lincoln was crowned Miss Central Nebraska and Lindsey Raggow of North Platte Miss Heartland last week in the second annual beauty pageant at College Park. The event is a preliminary to the Miss Nebraska pageant. Trinity Lutheran students packed 75 Christmas presents nine months early. The packages include toys and school supplies for children in Madagascar.
