If you want to go watch the highest number of D1 & D2 athletes at one place in Nebraska, go watch. Papio is the #1 team in the country, with the #1 2021 recruit. Plus numerous D1 & D2 talent on other teams.
I know it's just softball, but there are some pretty high level players here.

That and the volleyball state tournament. Unbelievable talent per capita on the volleyball court in this state. Elkhorn South and Omaha Skutt rated #1 and #2 in the country and not a word about it on this site. We discuss and debate football and boys basketball at length but the girls in softball and volleyball have much more high level talent!

Both sports full of talent in this state.

Guardian Angels gets upset in the first round and comes all the way through to win.

This is an amazing accomplishment. Did it once as a coach in ASA Summer softball. It is a brutally difficult journey to a State Title. Well deserved title.
