BARTLEY - The Southwest football team returned home to host an undefeated guest Thursday night as Wauneta-Palisade came to town with a 3-0 record. The Roughriders were rude hosts, jumping all over the Broncos in the first half while rolling away to a 58-21 victory to improve to 3-1 this season.

ARAPAHOE - In a race to beat a storm, 11 local athletes medaled at the Arapahoe Cross County Invite Thursday afternoon at the Arapahoe Golf Course. The Cambridge girls team had two of the top three individuals and three of the top 11 as the Trojans finished runner-up to Wallace, who placed three in the top seven.

It was a picture perfect night for Football Friday in Arapahoe as the Warriors welcomed Alma to town.

MCCOOK - While the two teams took particularly different paths to the match, the Cambridge and Southwest volleyball teams met in the finals of the McCook Invite Saturday. Much like their first meeting this season, which was also for a tournament title at Cambridge, the Trojans had the answers for any Roughriders challenge as Cambridge swept its way to the title, improving to 13-1.

RAVENNA - What was anticipated to be a shootout between Cambridge and Ravenna and their high-scoring offenses slugged along scoreless through most of the first half Friday. It took a fluky-looking play to open the lid as Ravenna struck on a 18-yard touchdown pass where the receiver was being face-guarded but caught the ball from behind the defender’s back. That acrobatic catch was the jolt Ravenna needed as the Bluejays scored four times in the final six minutes of the first half to take a 28-6 lead at the break.

by Coach Caleb Wall The Broken Bow meet was our first cool meet of the year when we competed on a Saturday morning in Broken Bow. Our kids typically run some of their fastest times of the year on this course and we were pleased with their efforts again this year. Senior Whitney Dickau brought home a 19th place finish which is the first time that we have cracked the top 20 at this meet since becoming Hi-Line. Whitney’s 19th place effort in 22:42 is the fastest 5K she has run in HS CC.
