n Basketball, baseball, softball all in action ...

WNCC is second with a 3-2 sub-region record followed by Otero at 4-3, NJC at 3-3, Lamar and McCook each at 2-4, and North Platte at 1-5.

WNCC‘s only defeats in the sub-region came to Trinidad and Lamar.

The men’s tournament will be held at that winner of the North Sub-region and right now that is up for grabs as three teams are within a game of each other that honor. Northwest College leads the North with a 4-0 record followed by Casper and Laramie County at 3-1.

While the basketball teams are nearing the end of their regular season, the seasons are just beginning for the baseball and softball teams.
