DCS easy win over Elm Creek
Anselma over Boyd County very tough game to pick but I think Anselma had a tougher schedule.
Axtell by 3 TD's over Loomis

Ainsworth easily over Kennesaw
Twin Loup in a tight game vs Hitchcock County 42 to 36
Mullen over Hyannis the same as the regular season
South Loup easy win over Ansley Litchfield
JB wins easily as a #1 seed should win
In the game of the night in D2 Bloomfield over HD in a great game. Ziegler has game winning TD 26 to 20
LCC over HPC in a tighter game than it should be
St. Fran 40 Fullerton 6
CV wins 56 to 20
Lawrence Nelson EPPJ game is tough pick. I give the edge to EPPJ bc game is at home but wont be surprised in LN wins
BDS over Osceola but feel whoever has the ball last in this game wins. BDS by 2
Wynot over Silver Lake easily.
On to Round 2
Any injury updates that change these games?
