What is the Northern Plains League
(NPL)?
Perhaps some of our readers are just as
confused as your correspondent is when
the school calendar states that the NPL
Basketball Tournament will be held this
week. NPL stands for Northern Plains
League which takes the place of the
Cheyenne Conference of which Kensington
and Eastern Heights were members before
the consolidation to Thunder Ridge.
There were also numerous other
consolidations in the area. With some of
the new names for the districts and new
schools added to the League, perhaps the
following paragraph will help identify
the schools that Thunder Ridge will be
competing with in the Northern Plains
League.
There are fifteen districts involved in
the Northern Plains Basketball League
this year. They are Lakeside
(Downs/Cawker City); Rock Hills
(Mankato); Wilson; Thunder Ridge; Natoma;
StJohn Beloit/Tipton; Lincoln; Sylvan
Grove/Lucas; Tescott; Chase; Logan; Pike
Valley (Scandia/Courtland); Palco;
Northern Valley; and Southern Cloud (Glasco/Miltonvale)..The
NPL tournament this week is being played
in four locations--Tescott, Sylvan
Grove, Lincoln High School and Lincoln
Elementary School, concluding on Friday
and Saturday evening. All final games on
Saturday will be played at the two
Lincoln gyms. Please consult the sports
section for further information as to
time and location of games. (The KKAN/KQMA
station and also the Salina Journal give
daily updates.)
Thanks to Don Wiens, Thunder Ridge
coordinator who has been working with
the set-up of the NPL tournament, for
the following comments to answer many
questions about the NPLtournament. Don
writes "St Xavier is a private school
from Junction City. They were invited to
make an even number of teams (16) to
compete in the tournament. To
accommodate the schools hosting as well
as the traveling schools, the sites and
times of play were adjusted for Monday’s
schedule. The host schools are
furnishing people to take tickets, run
the clock, and serve as hosts.
Therefore, they are playing at their
home sites as much as possible.
Traveling teams were assigned back to
back games as much as possible to avoid
long waits for fans and teams. The
cooperation of all 16 schools has been
very good and has allowed this
scheduling to take place as smoothly as
possible.
The schedule for Tuesday’s games will be
done after Monday’s games. (I realize
this will be old news by the time the
paper comes out.) A bracket will then be
set up to show advancement for the last
3 games of the tournament for each
school. Saturday’s games will include
all schools playing in one of the two
Lincoln sites. It will be a full day of
basketball starting at 10:00 a.m. Sorry
it has to be so confusing at this time,
but the magnitude of a tournament effort
such as this makes it a real challenge
for everyone. The great part is that all
the schools involved are willing to do
whatever they can to make this a
positive experience for the schools and
players involved."

Around
the Community
A large crowd enjoyed the American
Legion Riders' noon breakfast at the
Legion Sunday at the Legion Hall despite
that your correspondent listed the menu
as pancakes and sausage when they were
serving biscuits, sausage, and gravy
along with homemade cinnamon rolls. My
apologies to the Riders who provided the
delicious meal. Proceeds will go for
flags and other equipment for the
Riders.
The employees and board members of the
Kensington Community Store were busy
Sunday doing inventory. They report it
went well and were finished in good
time.
Duane Smith of Bellingham, Wash.,
remains in the hospital, but is doing
much better. Mail from 'home" is always
appreciated.
Don and Jan Hoverson went to Brewster
Sunday to help their grandchildren,
Brielle and Brylee, celebrate their
January birthdays at the home of their
parents, Jon and Lynda McKee.
It you enjoyed the nice weekend weather
with temps n the 60's on Sunday, be
prepared for a cool-down and possible
light snow on Monday night. It's been an
unusually warm, dry winter to date, and
the weather men predict a nice warm-up
again for the end of this week.
Something to think about this
week--"Remember not only to say the
right thing in the right place; but far
more difficult is to leave unsaid the
wrong thing at the tempting moment."
