It was a rocky start for the six high schools in the NCAA league for the start of the 2022-23 winter season this past week as the 6 schools combined to go 6-8 on the basketball coursts while the lone wrestling team open the 2022-23 season was the Minneapolis Lions boys, who finished in 5th place in the Riley County tournament.
Here is a look at what each of the six NCAA schools’ respective teams did in the opening week of their respective seasons this past week :
BELOIT
The Trojans and Lady Trojan basketball teams opened their seasons Friday night against Concordia and split the doubleheader with the Lady Trojans scoring a 36-29 victory in the opener, but the Trojan boys were unable to complete the sweep in the nightcap as they lost 51-48.
ELLSWORTH
The Ellsworth basketball teams opened their respective seasons Friday night against Lyons and the two teams were able to split the night as the Lady Bearcats earned a 48-33 victory over Lyons, but the Bearcat boys suffered a 52-46 loss in the nightcap.
MINNEAPOLIS

REPUBLIC COUNTY
Both Republican County High School basketball teams suffered rough starts to the season as Republic County was the only NCAA school to play on multiple nights and the Buffs and Lady Buffs got swept each night by teams from Nebraska. Thursday night Republic County opened the season getting swept by Thayer, Nebraska as the Lady Buffs lost 53-32 and the Buff boys fell 36-34.
