TREGO POWERLIFTING MEET
March 7, 2026
Coach Cole;
The Huskies traveled to Wakeeney for their first powerlifting meet of the season. There were 4
girls and 10 boys that made the trip on Saturday morning to go compete against 309 other lifters
(75 girls and 234 boys). There were many Husky lifters that said they were nervous for the meet,
but all would do very well in their first real lifting competition setting. The Husky girls team
scored 36 points on the day led by Kylee Ledbetter who placed 3rd in bench, 4th in squat and clean
and overall in her weight class. Andrea Meraz took 5th in bench and 6th
in squat. Kathryn Speer
got 4th in bench, 3rd in squat, 4th in clean, and tied for 4th overall in her weight class. Brooke
Preston had a PR in the bench press with 100 lbs, Andrea Meraz had a PR of 105 lbs in the bench,
and Kylee Ledbetter had a PR of 90 lbs in the clean. Andrea Meraz had the best ratio of the NV
girls at 2.97, which was 27th out of 75 girls. The girls team placed 12th out of 27 teams, and overall
had a great day!
The Husky boys scored 7 points, all by Lucas Hansen. Lucas would bench press 190 lbs for a 6th
place point, and have an incredible 225 lbs clean to get a 3rd place medal. He failed 215 lbs, and
decided to go up to 225 lbs on his last attempt, it worked out. For the boys, Levi Black had a PR in
the clean at 125 lbs, Jeremiah Kirkland had a PR in the bench at 180 lbs, Griffin McKinney
matched his PR of 200 lbs in the clean, Christian McDonald had a PR in the squat at 260 lbs.
Multiple other boys were 5 lbs off of their personal bests, having a successful day. Lucas Hansen
was the only Husky to not get a successful attempt in for the Squat. He was able to squat 275 lbs
and 290 lbs, but both attempts were deemed non-parallel by the judges. After this meet, the
Huskies will be practicing LOWWWWEERR squat depth before the next powerlifting meet!
Lucas Hansen’s ratio of 4.54 put him 52nd out of 234 boys, and Zane Brown’s ratio of 4.07 put him
at 91st out of 234 boys.
I was very happy with all of the athletes effort on a Saturday morning, these meets are fun to go
to, and take a lot of commitment outside of the school week. I appreciate everyone that signed up
and made it to the bus on time! Thanks to Mr. Fes for driving the bus as well

On February 26th, the Northern Valley Junior High hosted its annual Scholars Bowl meet in Long Island. Attending this year were the Huskies, Stockton, Western Plains, Logan, Thunder Ridge, and Alma, NE. The Huskies did very well, taking second place in both the 7th and 8th grade divisions to Alma, who won both divisions. Both Husky teams were 4-1 on the day in round robin competition with their only losses coming to Alma.
In the 8th grade division, the Huskies scored a total of 375 points in 5 rounds! The team was led in points by Rowan Bremer with 195 points. Annika McKinney dominated the science category, accounting for 70 of her 110 on the day. Asher Van Patten added 40, Colt Rogers kicked in 20, and Tayah Seeders rounded out scoring for the Huskies with 10.
The 7th grade division was led for the Huskies by Inez Schemper with 140 points. Ryelyn Cox had another solid performance with 60 points and Colton Ledbetter (arguably the best dressed on the day) added the remaining 55 points for the team to bring in a solid total of 255 points.
The Huskies' Scholars Bowl season will come to an end at their final meet on March 5th in Phillipsburg.

Coach Cole;
The Husky Boys Basketball season ended in the first round of sub-state to a good Dighton team in Almena on Monday. The Huskies lost 43-56, never leading in the game, but would make it close in the fourth quarter. Costly turnovers and lots of missed open looks to score were troublesome for us all night. Shot 27% from the field on the night. The Huskies went 10-12 on the season winning against Triplains/Brewster, Hoxie, Arapahoe, Stockton, Western Plains, Lakeside, and Golden Plains and Logan/Palco each twice. There were many heartbreaking loses in the season… six to be exact. Lost to Weskan by 2, Wheatland by 3, Greeley County by 3, Cheylin by 6, Rawlins County by 7, and Smith Center by 11. All of those games we led in the fourth and couldn’t close them out. Overall the Huskies had a better season than last with the same core group of players. Regular varsity players for the season were Gavin Thalheim, Owen Hammond, Tait Thalheim, Lucas Hansen, Zane Brown, Griffin McKinney, Conner David, and Maverick Rogers. The Husky boys averaged 53.3 PPG, 33.1 RPG, 13.9 APG, 8.5 SPG, 15.7 TO. All statistical improvement from a season ago.
Coach Sides and myself want to thank everyone that supported us all year and traveled to each and every game. The boys worked hard in practice in pursuit of a winning season. Husky boys statistical leaders are below:
Gavin Thalheim led in scoring with 374 (17.0 per game)
Owen Hammond led in rebounding with 234 (10.6 per game)
Owen Hammond led in assists with 78 (3.5 per game)
Gavin Thalheim led in steals with 65 (3.0 per game)
Owen Hammond led in blocks with 12
Gavin Thalheim led in 2-point % at 53% (68/128)
Gavin Thalheim led in 3-point % at 41% (65/157)
Tait Thalheim led in FT% at 70% (57/81)
The Huskies went 5-4 at Home, 2-7 on the Road, 3-1 in Neutral games, and 6-4 in WKLL games.

Good Morning Huskies!! Here is your Weekly Agenda. As always, let us know if you have any questions and have a great week!!
(Pictured are Jaden Johns and Owen Hammond playing Chess during 7th Hour P.E.)
The Northern Valley 5th Hour Weight Class has participated in a number of double elimination P.E. Game tournaments this year with many more to come. The most recent was the Chess Tournament Championships. With 16 participants in 5th hour Weight Class, it took 4 days to complete the tournament. At the end of the fourth day, the results were as follows:
1st Place - Jaden Johns
2nd Place - Bryson Wilder
3rd Place - Griffin McKinney
4th Place - Aaron Horacek
5th Place - Lucas Hansen
Jaden Johns went undefeated winning 5 chess matches in a row. Bryson Wilder lost his first match to Lucas Hansen, but went on a 6 game winning streak to face Jaden Johns in the championship. Out of 16 students in 5th hour weights, 8 students had never played chess before. All 24 students played Chess during HS P.E. class to take a break from weight lifting, all 24 students can now confidently say they know how to play the game. Too bad there are no local chess tournaments, because quite a few students have great strategy!

The junior varsity boys basketball season ended on Tuesday of last week as they closed the season with a 52-45 victory over the Downs-Lakeside Knights. The Junior Huskies finished the season with 4 - 10 record, and the "C" Team ended with a 0 - 1 record with their only game being against Jetmore "C" Team. The four wins on the season for the JV came against Arapahoe, Thunder Ridge, Stockton, and Lakeside.

14 out of the 18 NVHS players saw junior varsity action this year, as Griffin McKinney, Zane Brown, Conner David, and Maverick Rogers helped out the JV team playing 2 quarters and seeing regular varsity minutes. The Huskies did a good job of learning and running a new 5-Out offense, ran a 2-2-1 press on occasion, Man Defense, 1-3-1 Zone Defense, and 2-3 Defense. They played team basketball to the best of their ability, and worked hard in each and every contest. A lot of players showed tremendous improvement from their previous season played, and every JV player scored a basket!
Conner David led the JV in scoring with 93 (7.2 per game)
Griffin McKinney led the JV in rebounding with 72 (7.2 per game)

The NVJH Scholars Bowl team traveled out to Bird City for the WKLL tournament on Wednesday, February 18th. The 8th grade team dominated in their first round, winning 110-0. They would win the next 2 rounds and get into the championship bracket. Unfortunately, the team did not keep their momentum going and finished the day with a 3-2 record. They took 4th place on the day. Overall, the team did quite well. The team knew some answers that they didn't buzz in fast enough and had some times where the questions asked just didn't hit right with the kids. We answered 30 questions and had one early buzz-in that was incorrect for a 5 point deduction. The team was disappointed but still has plenty to be proud of!

The 7th grade team also made it to the consolation bracket and came home with some hardware taking 3rd place! They went 4-2 on the day, (there was one more 7th grade team than 8th), and came through in the end. They did a much better job buzzing in and answering when they knew answers, rather than waiting too long or being afraid to buzz in with the wrong answer. The team answered 21 questions, with 3 early buzz-ins with incorrect answers.

Coach Lowry’s Comments –
The Northern Valley Junior High competed in the WKLL BB tournament with semi-finals in Logan and quarter finals in Brewster. The tournament started with an intense game against the Golden Plains Bulldogs. We played through the nerves in the first quarter and found our rhythm for the rest of the game moving the ball well on offense and working together defensively. The top four teams moved on to Saturday where we started the day against a very fundamentally sound team, the Weskan Coyotes. In an attempt to contain their post player, we gave up too many other opportunities, but the effort was outstanding. We ended the day playing against our local rivals, the Logan/Palco Trojans. We started the game strong but ran out of steam on
numerous occasions trying to break their pressure. Too many turnovers led to our loss and fourth place at the tournament.
We are proud of the accomplishments these girls continued to make throughout the season. Their grit, their passion, and their determination to get better were apparent every day. We started the season with the motto “We will not settle” and the girls worked to accomplish this, meeting every goal they set for themselves. We are excited to see the 8th graders move on to high school basketball and watch what they achieve.

The tournament was a wonderful experience for the B-team girls, ending with third place. These six girls stepped up to the challenge of breaking a press, communicating on defense, and being bold on defense. They had to implement a variety of skills learned throughout the season while showing grit. The season, as a whole, may not statistically determine success but the improvement and growth of these girls is substantial, and I am so proud of them.

On Saturday, February 14th, our Northern Valley High School Forensics team attended a meet in Norton. We took 5 students. Junior Trista Smith, Sophomores Rene Horacek and Abby Samuelson, and Freshmen Bryson Wilder and Levi Black.
All of the kids did great for a very tough meet! We had one student, Trista, break finals and go on to qualify for State Championships in May!! Awesome! Next, we go to Quinter on the 21st!

Coach Boehler's end of season comments:
The Jr. Huskies' boys basketball season came to a close on 2/12 at the WKLL JH League Tournament. The A team finished with a record of 3-9 while the B team finished with a record of 2-7. Although we did not come away with as many wins as we would have liked, it was a successful season for the Huskies in terms of growth and development.
For a lot of the B team players, it was there first time getting a full season of basketball under their belt. It was a great experience for them, and it will help us leading into next year. The A team boys battled all season long no matter what the scoreboard read. Their effort was never in doubt, and I know myself, and hopefully the rest of the school and community are proud of that as well. We played some really strong defense many times throughout the season but just struggled to rebound and take care of the ball well enough to have more success. The boys were also very coachable and showed tremendous growth throughout the season. I am excited to see the 8th grade boys continue to develop at the high school level and look forward to seeing what we can accomplish next season.
The Jr. Huskies' boys basketball season came to a close on 2/12 at the WKLL JH League Tournament. The A team finished with a record of 3-9 while the B team finished with a record of 2-7. Although we did not come away with as many wins as we would have liked, it was a successful season for the Huskies in terms of growth and development.

The "G-League" season came to a close tonight. The 1st - 4th graders came out all three nights they had the opportunity to play some basketball during halftimes of the high school games. They worked hard during PE with Mr. Boehler and open gyms with Mr. Pugh and great volunteers to make these fun events happen. Go Big Green!
