Basketball moved outside today for their third and final regular-season games. Gettysburg and Manila Bay finished undefeated and will play for the championship, while Alamo and Yorktown entered their games needing wins to challenge for a spot in the 3rd and 4th place games; both brought home the victory, with Alamo narrowly winning in a 10-7 victory. Bataan and Bunker Hill will play in the 5th and 6th place game. Belleau Wood and Valley Forge continued their struggle, but they will get a chance to play each other for their first win of the week.

The final seconds have ticked off the clock on day #3 here at Cornhusker Boys State and some great performances have really come out. We have seen many individuals throw dunks down, toss contested jump ball touchdowns from 30 plus yards, crank out massive home runs, and send spikes down so hard that even the Husker Volleyball team would have been proud. Later this week we will host the Boys’ State Track meet and All-Star games!

Day two of volleyball brought intense rallies, narrow finishes, and major shifts in momentum. Valley Forge and Belleau Wood remain undefeated at 2-0, both surviving tough tests to stay atop the standings. Valley Forge edged out Gettysburg in two tight sets, while Belleau Wood held off a fierce challenge from Manila Bay in a three-set battle. Bunker Hill bounced back with a strong win over Yorktown, who now drops to 0-2. Alamo pulled off a thrilling comeback against Bataan, winning a nail-biting third set of 18-16. With most teams now sitting at 1-1, the race to the top is wide open heading into the latter part of the week!
