Bryce Davis 100th Win

Bryce Davis wrestled his 100th win in the 182-weight category at Imperial, Nebraska on Saturday, January 14th. It has been Bryce’s ambition to reach 100 wins ever since he started wrestling. Turning his goal into a success made him extremely happy. In his winning match, Bryce wrestled Brody Cleveland from Ogallala. “I underestimated him. It was a very physical match.” When doubt enters Davis’ head he just, “Gets out on the mat and does his thing like usual”. Posters filled the stands that day in Imperial. His parents even wrote on the back of Bryce’s poster for Miss Johnson’s class. “Thanks for the Big 100!” was plastered on the opposite side of his homework. Bryce’s parents and grandparents, along with the rest of the GCHS Wrestling team, cheered on Bryce’s victory. “I got 100 Snickers from my parents.” Along with his favorite candy, Bryce got 100 pennies and another 100 pennies stickily placed in a jar of honey from each set of grandparents. Davis’ 7-0 point win made his high school wrestling victorious! “I was ecstatic!”   more

Rural Entrepreneurship Class at the High School

The Rural Entrepreneurship Class is a great experience because it opens up many opportunities. Jim Hansel, the CEO at the Hospital, is my mentor. I get to follow him around and sit in on the meetings that he holds. I also get to shadow different people through out the hospital. This week I got to shadow the Lab Techs. I got to experience some great hands on experiences. -Jenna Alworth-  more
