Banner county
Banner County School students give Wildcats wrestler Wyatt Reichenberg a sendoff fit for a district champion before he heads to the NSAA State Wrestling Tournament last weekend, and the big guy did them justice. He wrestled fiercely at 190 pounds, finished with a 32-10 season record, won three matches and placed second. He defeated 31-8 Brayden Harms of Weeping Water by fall in 2:56 in the first round, 38-4 Jeremy Felix of Alma by a 5-4 decision in the quarterfinals, and 38-10 Samuel Hemenway of Elgin Public/Pope John by a 6-2 decision in the semifinals. In the championship, Wyatt dropped a 6-0 decision to 45-1 Brett Bridger of Fullerton.
Good morning and welcome to the last day of February, seems impossible! We do have one extra day this year, so there is that.
Congratulations to Banner County wrestler Wyatt Reichenberg for his 2nd place win at state!
Does not appear to be much going on at the schoolhouse this week. However, tomorrow, February 23rd, will be a regular day of school with no sports, just to give everyone a breather.
The Gering Library will host Board Game Night that evening at 6 p.m., and the Midwest Theater will begin a three day showing of the movie "The Color Purple." It will play twice on the 23rd, at 1:30 and 7 p.m., and on the 24th at 7 p.m, with the final showing on the 25th at 1:30 p.m.

On Monday the 26th, the folks in Kimball will hold a ribbon cutting for the new Kimball Health Services Hospital. This is at 255 W 4th St. at 2 p.m. I know more than one person who was born in the old hospital, speaking from experience!

Well folks, February is a short month and we are ending it rather shortly. One more day next and then we will march into March. What do you think? A lamb? Or a lion?
That's all for now. Take care, safe travels until next week. Barb Cross at 436-7152.
