The St. Paul/Palmer Cats ran away with a commanding sweep over Aurora in last Thursday’s double header on the Huskies’ home field, solidifying their momentum heading into the final game of the regular season with state-rated Adams Central.

Some rainy weather may have hindered Centura’s ability to capitalize on their homecourse advantage at last week’s Centura Invite, but the Burgundy and Gray still managed to log a strong round at last Friday’s meet.

The Centura boys’ track team was nearly finished scoring points at the LouPlatte Conference meet by the time the first gun fired on Friday. Last week, on the track at Preferred Popcorn Field in Central City, the Centurions picked up eleven of their thirteen total points at the LouPlatte Conference Track Meet in the field.

Elba boys, girls compete at rescheduled Palmer Invite Friday Around every corner, the Elba Bluejays managed to find a point last week, helping the Howard County kids land on the leaderboard at the Palmer Invitational. Last Friday, after being delayed a day due to the prediction of inclement weather, the Bluejay girls climbed into ninth place at the twelve-team meet.

Last Tuesday, in a battle of state-rated ballclubs, Central City/Centura pounced on the St. Paul/Palmer Cats early and weathered a late offensive storm to come away with a 9-4 victory to keep their unbeaten record intact.

It was a clean sweep for the St. Paul Wildcats last Thursday, with the Blue and Gold winning both the boys’ team title and the girls’ team title at the Ron Priebe Invitational.

After winning three of their last four games, including a victory over state-rated Thurston-Cuming County in a 12-11 slugfest, the St. Paul/ Palmer offensive saw some early struggles against Twin River last Tuesday evening.
