Wallace Jamboree gives pre-season look at Plainsmen, Wildcat teams

Fans got their first looks at the Perkins County and Wallace basketball teams Nov. 22 when Wallace hosted Nebraska High School Hall of Fame Jamboree games between PCS, Potter-Dix and the Wildcats. Each team played the others for one half. Both PCS teams won both of their games. The Wallace girls went 1-1 and the Wallace boys were 0-2.
