SUB-DISTRICT CHAMPS Missy attracts a crowd when shooting. Happy Seniors: Missy, Wendi, Hali. The leadership of three seniors: Hali Lockhart, Missy Bellamy and Wendi Hadenfeldt helped make the 1986-87 basketball team enjoy a very successful 17-4 season. Together the team enjoyed many highlights during the season such as Conference Co-Champs, Conference Run- ners-up, Direct Runners-up and beating Loup City for the third time. Several disappointments were losing to Gibbon in the conference championship and losing to Battle Creek which ended Centura’s hopes for a state berth in the district fi- nals. Post season honors go to: Missy Bellamy 2nd team All State Lincoln Star, Omaha World Herald All State Honor- able Mention, Heartland All Area, All Area C-l, All Confer- ence; Hali Lockhart All Conference, Heartland All Area C 2nd team, Omaha World Herald Honorable Mention; Wanda Stienke All Conference, Grand Island All Area C- Honorable Mention; Jana Hochstetler All Conference Hon- orable Mention, Grand Island All Area C Honorable Men- tion; Jaci Johansen Grand Island All Area C Honorable Mention. The JV’s had a successful season at 11-2, and the fresh- men were 5-1 for the year. Coach Kathy Mettenbrink and Coach Ed Ryan ex- pressed the feeling that all the teams had dedication, drive, determination and willingness to work.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL After having their difficulties in the first half of the season, the Centura boys basketball team came on strong in February, to win the Lou-Platte conference tournament, and put together a seven-game winning streak to close out the regular season. The conference tournament offered new life to the Centurions, and the team took advantage of the opportuni- ty. For the third time in the tournament, Centura had downed foes, such as: Adam Central, Wood River, and Rav- enna, that had earlier beaten them. Following the tourna- ment, Coach Olsen commented, “It was a very rewarding championship, because we had to work hard to improve. I think our improvement showed.” After having a record of 4 wins and 7 losses at one point, the team ended up with a record of 11 wins and 8 iosses. It was a successful season. Three players received post season honors. Terry Nitsch, Darin Jantzi, and Rob Hargens were all voted to the Lou-Platte All- Conference team. Terry also was named to the Grand Island Indepen- dent All-Area Class C first team, and the Omaha World Herald Honorable Mention All-State team. Darin was se- lected as All-Area Class C second team, and Rob to the All- Area Class C Honorable Mention squad.
