Elsa sing Into the Unknown but make it the snow day version...🎤

🎶 I can hear you, but I won’t...
Should I tell the kids, or leave them alone?
There’s a snowfall, and it’s deep,
And the roads are looking pretty bleak...

🎶 Everyone’s been hoping for a day to stay inside,
And now the winter weather just won’t let us drive!
There’s only one thing left to say...

SNOW DAYYYYYY! ❄️

The Wolfpack boys wrestling team headed to Ewing for the Class C District 3 Tournament at Summerland Public Schools on Saturday, February 15th. The team brought 4 wrestlers and fared well for a small team ending the tournament in 11th place out of 16 teams. The teams impressive performance was thanks in large part to having two State Tournament Qualifiers with Landon Newton finishing in first at the 120 weight, and Bryan Isom taking second place in 157 weight.
Newton will be making his first trip to Omaha for the State Tournament after beating all 3 of his opponents at the tournament by fall, including Corbin Pfeil of Pierce in the championship round to secure first place.
Isom is no stranger to placing at Districts having secured himself a spot at the State Tournament last year. He had little problem dispatching his first three opponents in the tournament winning two by fall and one by decision before losing the close championship match by technical fall to Quinn Bailey of Chadron.

The Wakefield Trojans wrestling team participated in the 2025 NSAA Class C District Two Invite at Tekamah-Herman High School on Saturday, Feb. 15, where wrestlers from 16 schools battled it out for a spot at the 2025 NSAA State Wrestling Championships.
Despite their best efforts, the Trojans weren’t able to come away with much success in the team standings at the district invite. Against some tough competition, the Trojans finished the day in 15th place with 26.0 team points scored.
However, the Trojans did have one very bright moment on the mats.
Leading the way for the Trojans and punching his ticket to the NSAA State Wrestling tournament with a fourth-place finish in the 144-lbs bracket was Domingo Centino. Centino is the lone state qualifier for the Trojans, as he went 3-2 on the day to secure a spot at state and earn 18.0 points for the team.

This past weekend Lady Trojan history was made at the Class B District Girls Wrestling Tournament in Pierce where Naomi Nelson became the first Lady Trojan to qualify for the State Tournament in Omaha on February 18th and 19th.
When asked how it feels, Nelson responded, “It feels super exciting and I’m honestly surprised on how far I’ve come since last year.”
With the big tournament one week away Nelson was already looking ahead “I’m looking forward to seeing what state wrestling is like and how much more I’ll improve in the years to come.”
While Wakefield takes pride in the school’s first entry to the tournament no one was more so than her mom, Emily Nelson “I’m incredibly proud of how hard she worked this year. She is an amazing person and I am so happy she has found something like wrestling to be passionate about” said Nelson. “I can’t wait to see the rest of her high school wrestling career. I have a feeling she is just getting started.”
