The student council and cheer and dance try outs were this afternoon. The kids did great! Congratulations to all the students!!

The Northern Valley Husky Golfers took on the JV meet held in Alma, NE on April 29th. The meet, like most JV meets, was a 9-hole competition. In total, there were 57 participants with the Huskies bringing three. Robert Vsetecka led the Huskies shooting a 49, but had a really bad hole where he took a circle-10 which eliminated him from medal contention. Robert's 49 tied had him for 7th. The circle-10 rule is meant to speed up play when a player reaches ten strokes on a hole and is not finished, they pick up their ball and move to the next hole. Outside of that one hole, he played good golf the whole day. Conner David shot a 53 that put him in 16th place on the day. Conner, strangely enough, had his only circle-10 of the day on the same hole as Robert. He also had a pretty good day, outside of that one hole. Audrey Mathews shot a 64 which placed her 30th in the middle of the pack for the day. She had a consistent day and holds bragging rights over the boys for finishing that pesky Hole #5. She continues to work and improve her game each week. The Huskies next competition will be the JV meet at Norton on May 6th.

The Husky golf team had a good showing at the Norton Varsity Invitational on April 24th. Conner David led the way shooting a career best 95, Robert Vsetecka shot a 97, and Audrey Mathews continues to improve each meet and shot a 129. It was a very tough field of competition so we didn't have any medalists this time, but a day on the golf course is always a good day!

Join us for the Northern Valley Forensics Showcase! April 29th at 6:30pm in the High School Auditorium! We hope to see you there!
