We have had some great matchups this last week. This week is the make or break week when it comes to Nebraska's High School Football season. Classes A through C-2 all Play 9 games in the season. We are perfectly in the middle of the season. Some teams who have stumbled have 5 games to regain themselves and have a chance at the playoffs. Teams with no losses could fall from the top and the teams at the bottom cam rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Week 4 Recap</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Last week we had a few games go off and score with tons of offensive production.

Omaha North would go on a 28-0 scoring speed, scoring 14 points in the third and the forth quarter. Omaha North takes down Benson 42-10. Skutt and Elkhorn is one of the classic matchups in Class B play. Both of these teams play almost every year. And this year was another fun game. They both ended the first quarter tied 7-7 Skutt would then take the lead in the second going up 13-7 at halftime. But then Something awoke in the Antlers and they took care of business scoring 13 points in the third quarter and 14 in the 4th. Their defense didn't let Skutt score again and Elkhorn would win it 34-13. Our final game is a Class C-1 Classic. Pierce made the long trip all the way to Roncalli Catholic in Omaha. Pierce would kick off the game right away going up 12-0 in the first quarter. The second quarter would be even crazier with the Crimson Pride would get on the board scoring 21.
