Central Community College athletics held a team national championship ring ceremony for the first time in its history.
On Feb. 7, during halftime of the North Platte Community College-CCC men’s basketball game, four members of the 202425 esports team and head coach Lucas Lumbra received rings for winning national titles in Call of Duty: 4x4 and Call of Duty: MWIII Gunfight 2x2. Call of Duty: 4x4 members were Ethan Bryant of Grand Island, Jackson Peabody of Columbus, Caleb Smith of Creighton and Ayden Veik of Humphrey. Peabody and Veik comprised the Call of Duty: MWIII Gunfight 2x2 team.
“The ring ceremony was a phenomenal event and it was great to see our amazing students highlighted in such a manner,” said Lumbra. “These events serve as further encouragement for continued growth and success within our program and we look forward to many more.”
