Central Nebraska’s Sports Source looks forward to its first high school basketball broadcast of 2020 tonight when Broken Bow hosts Hershey for a girls and boys doubleheader. The Broken Bow girls enter tonight’s game at 6-2 after finishing as runner-up to Class B rated Bennington in the finals of the Adams Central Holiday Tournament last week. The Hershey girls enter tonight’s game at 3-3 with wins over Cozad, Perkins County, and Kimball while their losses have come to Gothenburg, Ogallala, and North Platte St. Pat’s. In the boys game, Broken Bow will be looking for their first win of the season. Bow had some close calls in December falling to Minden on the road by 6 and losing to both Ainsworth and Boone Central / Newman Grove by just 4. The Indians will welcome in a Hershey team that is 4-2 with wins coming against Perkins County, Gothenburg, Cozad, and Kimball while their losses have been to North Platte St. Pat’s and Ogallala. Tonight’s games will be broadcast on KBBN 95.3 FM and on kbbn.com with coverage starting with the girls varsity game scheduled to tip off at 6pm.
Anselmo-Merna begins play today at the Brady Post Holiday Tournament. AM will play Pleasanton in the opening round of both the girls and boys tournaments. The two teams were to play each other a few days ago in the championship games of the Pleasanton holiday tournament but the games were cancelled due to bad weather and road conditions. Brady will play Hitchcock County in the other first round games today. Consolation and championship games are scheduled to be played on Saturday.
