It's been an awesome fall for North Platte High School sports. A state championship (girls golf), a state runner up (softball), a birth in the state tournament (Volleyball), and a playoff victory for football (first since '04)
Now the individual accomplishments are rolling in for the athletes on those teams who made it possible.
First up one of the five girls who brought a state championship trophy to North Platte in golf, Baylee Steele.
Baylee has spent her four years as the undisputed leader in the clubhouse. Early on she was being compared to Val Skinner, another NPHS girls golfer who went on to the LPGA.
Baylee has spent most of her high school career in the discussion for best golfer in the state and is well deserved in that praise. Baylee will continue her golfing career here in Nebraska at the University of Omaha.
Joining Baylee with Super State Honors is Karsen Morrison. Karsen had a successful year with the program as a leader and pushing the team to be their best. She walks away from this year as a state champion with a bright future ahead of her.
Before this year the girls team had two straight years of runner-up status at the state tournament.
Below you can see the selections for Girls Golf Super State.
Next we have Tatum Montelongo who in her sophomore campaign lead the NPHS Softball team to a state runner up and is now considered one of the deadliest pitchers in the state. Its the first time in quite awhile that a North Platte girl made the all-state team.

Finally the only boy on the list, Evan Caudy from the Cross Country team.
Evan spent most of this year as the leader on the team and got quite a bit of attention on the statewide level, earning a Gold medal at districts this year and a 4th place finish at the state meet. Evan earned medals at state in back to back years.
Evan will be back next year for the Bulldogs and hopefully will make a push for that individual state championship.
