The Central City/Centura Kernels opened their 2024 NSAA State Baseball Tournament campaign with a decisive 4-0 victory over Douglas County West last Saturday, showcasing their strength at the outset of the tournament.

Noteworthy performances included sophomores Conner Erickson and Jakob Ruhl, who contributed significantly to the team’s six hits. Ruhl was also stellar on the mound, pitching 6.1 innings of one-hit ball, fanning nine, and maintaining the shutout.

Paving the Way: The many hands that built the Kernels program -Editorial

2 weeks ago By News Staff

As many of you know, I am a big fan of our local teams and that includes the Central City/Fullerton, Central City/Fullerton/Centura and Central City/Centura Kernels. I've been there from day one, watching as the Kernels etched their names into the heart of our community. As they make their fourth consecutive appearance at the NSAA State Baseball Tournament, it’s impossible not to reflect on the journey that has brought us here. This year is especially significant; it marks the first chapter without Fullerton, an integral part of our storied co-op history since the Kernels beginning.
