“The Ord Tournament was a great day of competition for us,” said Coach Mary Rau. “We had a quite a few entries break finals, and they performed very well in those finals. I think this is the first time that we’ve won the Varsity competition in Ord.
“The next two weeks will be tough. We travel to Kearney and to North Platte and compete against Class A schools. We probably won’t bring home as many medals, but tough competition makes us better.”
The team will compete at Kearney High School on Friday, Feb. 5, with rounds beginning at 2 pm.
