Wrestling fam. The Erickson family needs your prayers. Chaz is a senior at KCHS and was admitted to Children's Hospital last Friday with paralysis from the chest down. He has since had fluctuating symptoms. Dr's. are optimistic about recovery but it will be a process. 1 of 2

Congrats!!
First off, I want to thank God for giving me the ability to play this game and for guiding me every step of the way. I am incredibly grateful to my family for their endless sacrifices, and to my coaches and friends who always believed in me and pushed me to be my best. With that being said, I am extremely excited to announce that I have committed to the University of Nebraska to continue my academic and baseball career! Thank you to Coach Bolt and the entire staff for this opportunity. Let’s get to work! 🔴⚪️ #GBR #Committed @PHXST3 @HuskerBaseball @BaseballKearney @JakRedman2 @Jolovin11 @2028spects @SpectsBaseball @PrepBaseballNE

Everyone please get on Senator Pete Ricketts. I've reached out. It's an embarrassment to Nebraska that he isn't already on this list! Thank you

Congrats Coaches and Players!
The 2026 wrapped up this week with 2 days of phenomenal golf at Indianhead Golf Club. Star’s senior Nash Malone defended his title as State Champion and impressed the crowd with an eagle putt on hole 18 day 1. Our two freshman, Lawson Cochran and Miles Hershberger, shot their personal bests on the biggest stage in Nebraska high school golf. Cochran coming in clutch with an even 72 the second day of the tournament! Asher O’Brien and Connor Bash used what they learned in the 2025 State Tournament and kept their eyes on the prize, playing consistent both days! The Stars worked hard this year and were able to enjoy a lot of success throughout the season because of it. Now it’s time for summer golf and preparation for the 2027 season starts today!
