Pierce Bluejays (Preseason Ranking: #1)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Next Game: Scotus Catholic 0-1</li><li>Pierce handled business against a Wahoo team that I think will be playing come playoff time. Very impressive 38-7 victory.</li><li>The [player_tooltip player_id='217056' first='Abram' last='Scholting'] to Ben Brahmer connections looks as healthy as ever going into year 3. They connected on 9 passes for 142 yards and 2 touchdowns.</li><li>Also don't sleep on Abram's ability to tuck and run. He added 67 rushing yards and a touchdown.</li><li>The defense has a ton of hungry players that can zip around.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>2. Aurora Huskies (Preseason Ranking: #2)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Next Game: #5 Boone Central 1-0</li><li>Few teams had a more impressive season opener than Aurora did in their 43-13 thumping of Class B GI Northwest.</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='217059' first='Carlos' last='Collazo'] continued to look like one of the top backs in the state with 134 rushing yards.</li><li>The Huskies are going to be a handful on both sides of the trenches. Big, tough, relentless players that can generate great push at the LOS.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>3. Ashland-Greenwood Bluejays, 1-0 (Preseason Ranking: #3)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Next Game: @ Wahoo 0-1</li><li>AG took down the reigning Class C1 champions, Columbus Lakeview, in quite a convincing fashion. 35-6 was the final score.</li><li>The offense looked efficient with a solid passing game and 260 yards rushing as a team.</li><li>Their defense could be the overall strength of this team. The team registered 5 sacks and 6 tackles for loss.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>4. McCook Bison, 1-0 (Preseason Ranking: #4)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Next Game: @ Gothenburg 0-1</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='239152' first='Adam' last='Dugger'] could be one of the more underrated dual-threat QBs in the state. He passed for 102 yards on 9/13 passing and rushed for 150 yards and 2 rushing touchdowns. </li><li>They have a versatile group of players that can do anything from running, catching, playing LB, rushing the passer, or dropping into coverage. [player_tooltip player_id='311684' first='Alex' last='Anthony'], [player_tooltip player_id='239166' first='Garrett' last='Kaps'], and the Gomez-Wilson bros are all threats to make a play on either side of the ball. </li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>5. Boone Central Cardinals, 1-0 (Preseason Ranking: #5)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Next Game: @ #2 Aurora 1-0</li><li>Boone is a team that I don't think many people are taking as seriously as they should. They are LEGIT and have a talented roster to prove it.</li><li>They're coming off a 42-21 win over a Broken Bow team that could also make a playoff push later in the year.</li><li>Some very underrated names in this group. [player_tooltip player_id='340512' first='Brant' last='Benes'], [player_tooltip player_id='239789' first='Jack' last='Roberts'], [player_tooltip player_id='250336' first='Parker' last='Borer'], [player_tooltip player_id='408449' first='Nathaniel' last='Werner'] are all names to watch out for.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>6. Chadron Cardinals, 1-0 (Preseason Ranking: #6)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Next Game: Gering 1-0 (Class B)</li><li>I get the feeling Chadron is going to be a team that can hang with anyone in Class C1.</li><li>Their 1-2 punch of [player_tooltip player_id='227055' first='Xander' last='Provance'] and [player_tooltip player_id='239992' first='Seth' last='Gaswick'] is one of the best ATH duos in the state.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>7. Adams Central Patriots, 1-0 (Preseason Ranking: #7)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Next Game: @ Holdrege 1-0</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='250400' first='Nick' last='Conant'] and [player_tooltip player_id='227021' first='Hyatt' last='Collins'] backfield was brutal last year, now senior Holden O'Dey might be another beast to prepare for.</li><li>The defense also did a great job shutting down Minden's offense. Eventually holding on for the 28-7 win over the Whippets.</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='302778' first='Leighton' last='Weber'] is a name to know on this defense. Hidden gem propect.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>8. Roncalli Catholic Crimson Pride, 1-0 (Preseason Ranking: #10)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Next Game: Nebraska City 0-1</li><li>Shut out a solid C1 squad in Wayne with a 30-0 final score.</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='340508' first='Brady' last='McGill'] had a great day not just as a passer but showing off the heroics as well. He recovered a fumbled snap on an XP and was able to take it to the house.</li><li>This defense is going to be one to watch in this Class. Lots of young backer/safety type players that love to hit.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>9. St. Paul Wildcats, 1-0 (Preseason Ranking: NR)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Next Game: Minden 0-1</li><li>The defense looked stingy and was destructive in the backfield. 6 tackles for loss.</li><li>The duo of [player_tooltip player_id='227093' first='Quade' last='Peterson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='408684' first='Ryker' last='Goettsche'] is going to be tough to prepare for every week.</li><li>Expect a punishing running attack from the Wildcats. They have some budding workhorses in senior John Placke and sophomore Cody Kuszak.</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>10. Auburn Bulldogs, 1-0 (Preseason Ranking: NR)</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Next Game: Logan View/Scribner-Snyder 0-1</li><li>Defense went crazy in this 33-8 win over Boys Town.</li><li>They accumulated 13 tackles for loss, 3 fumble recoveries, and snagged an INT.</li><li>[player_tooltip player_id='245905' first='Tate' last='Hug'] and [player_tooltip player_id='319198' first='Nixon' last='Ligouri'] are two incredibly versatile offensive players.
