Winter Sports Winding Down

The winter sports season is fast winding down!

The Kimball wrestlers go to the District D-4 Tournament this Friday-Saturday at North Platte St Pats hoping to qualify some of our wrestlers for the State Tournament in Omaha that starts February 20.

The Kimball High girls close out the regular season this Friday hosting Hemingford and move into subdistrict play at Ogallala Tuesday (February 18). Sorry I can’t give you any pairings as they were not available yet at the time of this writing.

There is still junior high boys basketball going on and Kimball will host Sidney this afternoon (Thursday) at 3 p.m. On Tuesday (Feb. 18) they are at home again hosting Pine Bluffs with a 3:30 p.m. start time.
