I believe GICC is out with their loss to St Paul. Ord will be in.

Well, I agreed with most of your picks (Loomis, Cambridge, Ainsworth, CV, Mullen) and slightly disagreed with your correct pick of Hitchcock County (I thought a 2-3 TD win by HC).

The rest, I didn't really have an opinion on. I was surprised by a lot of these scores.

So I will run down the predictions with the results.


Loomis wins easily
- Loomis lost by 2 (huge surprise)
Cambridge over St. Marys in a tight game
- Cambridge was blown out 52-12 (big surprise)
Ainsworth win easily
- Ainsworth lost 68-42 (little surprised)
Central Valley wins big
- correct
Hitchcock wins in a close TD game
- correct, good job
Mullen wins by 2 scores
- Mullen lost by 3 scores
S-T wins easily
- correct
Archangels win easily
- correct
Riverside wins big
- correct
Wynot wins easily
- correct
B-R wins 90 to 80 vs. Fullerton the team that doesnt turn ball over wins
- correct (64-54)
High plains wins in a low scoring game
- correct, HP won 22-20
BDS wins 60 to 20
- correct BDS 42-20

Hartington-Newcastle lost their starting QB/DB with 2:00 left in the first quarter. Tough break for them. He's the engine that makes that group go.

EMF lost their starting QB midway through 1st quarter then H/N lost theirs shortly after. 14-14 halftime score then EMF scored 30 in 3rd, line took over and just ran them over.

Here's what I get with a Kearney Catholic over Valentine win................no new teams enter, just a reshuffling of seeds for the 16 in the playoffs.

The bracket change much with an Arlington win over Bergan and DT win over Wood River

Just playing some devil's advocate here, why shouldn't the 1 seed in a regional sub -district make the others travel for the first round game? Wouldn't that provide more of an advantage to the #1 seed in a regional sub? I understand that it's not ideal for teams that have to travel, but this was a discussion before the regions even passed. As said then, #1 seed should be rewarded for their successful regular season with the competitive advantage of hosting all of these games.

I see both sides. You are correct it can be an advantage. Also, that #1 seed absolutely earned the right to host. At the same time, that host school could cost themselves money by not letting that opening round be played at a higher seed in that 4v5 and 3v6 scenario. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure mileage is paid out of gate receipts to traveling schools in the districts for volleyball and basketball and football playoffs.

This is true I am just guessing if the one seed is worried about the 4 vs 6 game then they are not much of one seed BUT yes and saying that They should change the rule to if the travel is over 180 miles in the first round of subs then they two First round only games be played at the higher seed if under 180 or a neutral site if over 180 miles. The upper classes have been doing this for awhile and use reasonable courtesy to not need such a ruling change but this doesnt seem to be the case in the lower classes

The schools make the proposals. I can’t believe people don’t understand this yet. If AD’s and coaches don’t bring up the proposals, nothing changes.

This is the best way to get the best 8 teams to Lincoln. Some of you guys act like driving three hours is the worse thing in the world. It’s not.

Well that EMF/Hartington score was interesting.

Kinda figured it might not go Hartingtons way The district that EMF plays in is very tough

Sorry ,deleted my original post, should have congratulated coach Kozeal and Twin Loup on a great win. Didn't mean to disparage Loomis in any way, was just surprised. Kozeal is a standup guy and had a heck of a program over the years.

Well that EMF/Hartington score was interesting.

H-D vs B-R should be a good game as well as Wynot vs Hitchcock Co.

Any insight on the Loomis lose? Was there injuries or did they just plain get beat?

From what I saw on Hudl they just couldn’t stop Twin Loup from scoring.

H-D vs B-R should be a good game as well as Wynot vs Hitchcock Co.
