The Central City Girls wrestling team has made a promising start to the 2023/24 season, demonstrating skill and determination in their early matches even without experience being on their side. Alongside them, the High Plains Community Girls wrestling team also showed their prowess at the York Invitational, marking a great start for both teams showcasing a rapidly growing local talent pool of female wrestlers.

The Central City Bison wrestling team has kicked off their 2023/24 season with a bang, showcasing their strength and skill in both dual and invitational competitions. The team’s early success includes a commanding dual win over Adams Central and notable performances at the York Invitational, where they faced stiff competition from Class A and Class B schools.

The Central City High School girls basketball team got off to a 2-0 start for the first time in 15 years thanks to solid play inside the paint. Againt Gibbon, Emma Steinke (3) showed her skill going to the hoop, but it has been senior Addie Buhlke (25) who has stole the show for the Bison.

Coming into the new season there were holes from last year’s lineup to fill for the Bison. Guys like Truman Ryan (15) and Colter Lueders (12) were expected to play much larger roles this season. Both have already been key contributors for the Bison in a pair of wins.

No, not those wise men, but when it comes to wrestling you would be hard pressed to find a more dedicated group. Last Friday the program honored Terry Elge, who has coached at the school since the wrestling program was founded in 1998. He was joined by long-time assistant Scott Griepenstroh and new head coach Greg Smith for a photo. The Eagles are off an running in the new season. (Photo by Mindi Green)
