>>6. The Board heard presentations from the following communities interesting in hosting State Softball: York, Grand Island, Hastings and York.

Did a fourth group bid? Lincoln? I assume York didn't have two bids?

Stu said Hastings kept the tournament and made promises of improved dugouts and foul-ball netting. Both good changes.

 

[ACICOD]

Pretty certain that the 4th bid was from North Platte.

 

[SPbObRT]

ACICOD you are correct per OWH this morning. Once again you are on top of the action.

 

[Alum-Ni]

Yes .....it was North Platte
