District play begins today for the North Platte Bulldog softball team in Millard. The Bulldogs are the third seed in the A4 district, hosted by Millard West. They will take on second seed Columbus this afternoon at 12:45, with the host Wildcats taking on fourth-seed Omaha North in a game played earlier. The Bulldogs wrapped up their regular season winning eight of their last nine games to end up with a 15-15 record. They took third place in the GNAC tournament last weekend in North Platte, besting McCook and Scottsbluff before falling to Kearney in the championship game. If the Bulldogs beat the Discoverers, they will play in a semifinal game at 4:15. If they lose, they will play an elimination game at 2:30. The Bulldog softball team is looking for its first trip to the state tournament since 2004.
