“We are delighted to welcome the state baseball tournament to our community for the next two years. We also are very excited that the boys and girls basketball championships will remain here for the next five years.

“I am very proud of the partnership that worked together to present an attractive package for our community. Lincoln remains Nebraska’s championship city, full of tradition and hospitality. We will continue to work together to make Lincoln an even better destination for our state’s athletes, coaches and fans.

“The City of Lincoln appreciates the consideration the NSAA Board of Control gave to our community’s proposals to host state tournaments in our Capital City. We wish Omaha and the Qwest Center well as they host the next two state wrestling championships, and we will do what we can to assist in the transition.”
