The Burke Bombers men’s amateur baseball team lost to the Winner Demons 5-2 on Thursday, May 30, in Winner. The Demons got on the board in the bottom of the first inning after Ashton Klein walked and the Bombers committed an error, each scoring one run.

Gregory fans have now learned not to leave the state track meet early as the boys team title again came down to the final race of the meet. Last year Luke Stukel had to catch one runner in the 4x400 to give the team a tie for first place. This year it was Luke again, who had one runner to pass for another tie for first and two to win the team title.

The results of the region golf tournament, held Wednesday, May 22, in Mitchell, are in and two Gregory High School golfers are headed to state. Luke Stukel was the top performer for the team, carding an 82 for third place.

Gregory Co. Varsity 7 St.

The Gregory varsity football team hosted the 20th youth football camp at Mike Dacy field last week. Ninety-four campers ages six to twelve attended the event to learn more about the great game of football. Gregory football players and coaches were instructors for the camp and opened each session with football fundamentals, drills, and skills. Campers were sent to different stations around the field to practice running, tackling, passing, catching, and blocking utiliz-ing cones, bags, and pads. After a much-needed popsicle break all campers were split into teams for flag football games. All campers received a camp tee shirt and some grass stains free of charge.
