Congrats to organizer Kerry Ferguson and the Kimball Hospital Foundation for another very successful Golf Classic Tournament held this past Saturday at the Four Winds Golf Course. A great turnout with 28 four-person teams made up of 112 golfers. The weather was nice with a bit of rain right at the tail end of the day. See all of the results in another story in this week’s sports.

Fall Sports practice for Nebraska High Schools was officially opened up this past Monday, August 7, and for Kimball High the sports involved include Football, Volleyball, Cross Country, and Girl’s Golf. It appears there is a good turn out in all of the sports with Girl’s Golf getting a solid boost from just a couple of golfers last year to seven this season. The first competition for Kimball will be in the Girl’s Golf as they take part in the Sidney Tournament on August 22 and go to Bayard for WTC play on August 24.
