The North Platte Community College men’s basketball team capitalized at the free throw line down the stretch to secure a 64-60 victory over Northeastern Junior College on Wednesday. Northeastern tied the game for the first time in the half with just under nine minutes remaining, setting up a back-and-forth battle down the stretch. Next, NPCC will play at Western Nebraska Community College (6-16) on Sunday. PHOTO: NPCC’s Brady Kennison lays in a basket against Northeastern Junior College.
