The team placed ninth out of 15 teams with 357 points, which included Lutheran High Northeast, Creighton, Guardian Angels Central Catholic, Neligh-Oakdale, Norfolk Catholic, Summerland, West Point-Beemer, Crofton, Laurel Concord Coleridge, Niobrara-Verdigre, Tri-County Northeast, Elgin Public/Pope John, Ponca, and Wakefield.
