Cougars Play Two Tough Games


Lyons-Decatur Northeast went head to head with Scribner-Snyder last Thursday in a hard fought basketball game.

Seven Cougars hit the hoops for the Cougars. Dakota Riecken had 20 points and two rebounds. He also went six for ten at the line.

Henneman had six points, Brehmer 4, Simpson seven, Hegy five, Bishop five and Montana Riecken had two.

Despite all of their efforts, the Cougars lost 57-52. “Scribner-Snyder is a good team that is always improving. We must continue to learn and accept our roles,” stated Head Coach Derek Lahm.

Saturday night LDNE played Bancroft Rosalie. This game wasn’t quite the match-up as the Scribner-Snyder game was as the Cougars lost 84-60.

Despite the loss, the Cougars had four players hit double figures, with Dakota Riecken leading the way again this game with 21 points and eight rebounds.

Henneman and Brehmer each had ten points, Simpson had eight, and Hegy had ten.

Brehmer went five for seven at the line, D. Riecken went six for ten and Hegy hit four out of six.

The score is not a reflection of the effort the Cougars made. “The game was a 10-point game until the 6:30 mark of the 4th quarter. We need to eliminate silly mistakes and turnovers and make some adjustments in terms of our effort on defense and rebounding,” said Derek Lahm.

The Cougars next round of action is on Fri.. Dec. 20th at home against Howells-Dodge. Games begin with JV hitting the court at 4:30 p.m.

Game and Parks Commission


NEBRASKA LEGISLATURE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARING ON FINANCING OPTIONS FOR GAME AND PARKS COMMISSION

Wednesday, December 11, 2013

District 16 State Senator Lydia Brasch, Vice-Chair of the Natural Resources Committee, wants to inform citizens of a public interim hearing scheduled tomorrow, Wednesday, December 11 addressing Legislative Resolution 205.  LR 205 was introduced by Senator Bill Avery as an interim study to examine the mission and financing options of the Game and Parks Commission as authorized by current law.  “This is an opportunity for citizens to express their views and suggest alternatives for State Park Funding.  We have received calls, emails, letters and inquiries regarding future funding for our State Parks,” Senator Brasch states.

 

The resolution and hearing provides a means of gathering more information regarding Avery’s Legislative Bill 362, which, according to the committee statement, “would eliminate the permit that Nebraska residents are now required to purchase for entry into state parks and would place a $7 registration fee on certain motor vehicles to replace the revenue from the permit fees.  The bill would provide open access to state parks for all Nebraska residents, and would provide a revenue stream to be used for repairs, updates and maintenance of state park facilities.  Non-residents would still be required to purchase park entry permits.”

 

Citizens in Washington, Burt, and Cuming counties have expressed both opposition to and support of replacing a park entry fee with a vehicle registration fee.  All those interested in the outcome of the issue are encouraged to attend the public hearing to be held:

 

Wednesday, December 11, 2013 – 1:00 p.m.

State Capitol, Room 1525

1445 K Street
