First, we have The Papio Bowl between Papillion-LaVista and Papillion-LaVista South. The First Quarter went scoreless before both teams scored in the second half. After starting the half tied at 7-7 the Monarchs started dominating. They would score 21 unanswered in the second half leading to a 28-7 win for the Monarchs. Our next game was a thriller between Ashland-Greenwood and Wahoo. The Bluejays took a quick lead of 14-7 in the first. After a scoreless third quarter, Wahoo struck back scoring 14 straight going into halftime. Ashland-Greenwood tried to come back but the Warriors put it away winning 28-21. This next game blew my mind with how it turned out. The Boone Central Cardinals destroyed the Aurora Huskies. The Cardinals insanely won 42-7.
