<p><em>Breakdown:</em> The Elkhorn South Storm returns as the reigning district champs after a 9-2 campaign. The Storm will certainly miss a very talented 2025 group, but the cupboard is far from bare with a ton of experience from last season and promising youngsters. One position that will definitely have a new face is QB, where the picture for a season starter still looks unclear from an outside perspective, but sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1652203' first='Luke' last='Valasek'] looks like a contender. Fresno State commit [player_tooltip player_id='488108' first='Jaydon' last='Sutko'] is an interesting player who will play and is committed as a linebacker, but his speed and size could also earn him more reps at RB or receiver. Lots of depth along the offensive line and front seven with players like [player_tooltip player_id='795612' first='Alex' last='Greufe'], [player_tooltip player_id='795607' first='Cooper' last='Perrien'], [player_tooltip player_id='1324297' first='Bo' last='Gillman'], [player_tooltip player_id='487760' first='Griffin' last='McDonald'], and [player_tooltip player_id='795608' first='Tristan' last='Brewer']. Elkhorn South starts the season against three consecutive 2024 playoff teams in Lincoln East, Bellevue West, and Lincoln North Star, which should be a challenging stretch, but they will have the benefit of homefield advantage in weeks 1 & 2. A week seven visit from last year's runner-up, Omaha Westside, looks like the biggest game on the schedule with a trip to the Papio South Titans to close out the season.</p>

<p><em>Breakdown:</em> The Norfolk Panthers were only a few points away from clinching a playoff spot for the first time since 2020. However, things are looking up going into the 2025 season as they return a great group of starters at several key positions. The top one is QB, where [player_tooltip player_id='795602' first='Cole' last='Signor'] is back under center after throwing for 1,718 yards and 18 touchdowns as a junior. Signor is also the most productive returning rusher with 152 yards and a touchdown, so his backfield mate should emerge during the preseason. One thing that stands out about this Norfolk roster is that they have some impressive size along the offensive line with [player_tooltip player_id='1556220' first='Taytum' last='Anderson'] (6'4", 295 lbs), [player_tooltip player_id='1700345' first='Jace' last='Plessner'] (6'5", 240 lbs), and [player_tooltip player_id='1632667' first='Lucas' last='Hoffman'] (6'4", 230 lbs). The Panthers also boast solid experience at the skill positions, featuring names like [player_tooltip player_id='1429557' first='Cohen' last='Skiff'], [player_tooltip player_id='1429590' first='Drew' last='Streich'], [player_tooltip player_id='1617639' first='Isaiah' last='Wapelhorst'], Isidro Rosas, and [player_tooltip player_id='1051919' first='Kaisen' last='Jones']. Norfolk's growing experience will be crucial this fall as they face a favorable schedule with a path to earning a playoff spot. Lincoln Southeast, Papio South, Elkhorn South, and Creighton Prep were playoff teams last season.</p>

<p><em>Breakdown:</em> Despite suffering a losing season, few teams had an offense as fun as the Burke Bulldogs did last season. Now, they lose a good chunk of that production to graduation, but they do have suitable replacements ready to step up. One to watch is QB [player_tooltip player_id='611672' first='Jasiah' last='Summerfield'], who is coming over from Omaha Bryan and brings with him a big arm and lots of promise as a gun-slinger. Other notable names that joined through the transfer window are WR/DB [player_tooltip player_id='1114616' first='Christian' last='Dean'] (Buena Vista) and [player_tooltip player_id='1625846' first='Damarion' last='Washington'] (O Northwest), both of whom should make an immediate impact. [player_tooltip player_id='1540418' first='Dayton' last='Collins'] also had a big season as WR2, hauling in 27 receptions for 426 yards and six receiving touchdowns. With only four playoff teams on the schedule (Creighton Prep, Westview, Elkhorn South, Papio South), Burke has an opportunity to take advantage of favorable matchups to put themselves in the playoff conversation at the end of the season.</p>

<p><em>Breakdown:</em> The Omaha South Packers may not have had the season they hoped for last season, but they were able to find reasons to be optimistic in 2025. Although they were hit with graduation and a few transfers, players like Kooper Gray, Oliver Johnson, and Zakiah Miller will provide senior leadership to a young squad. Underclassmen like [player_tooltip player_id='1192631' first='Jamir' last='Davis'] and Davion Parker should serve as a youthful spark for the team. Omaha South faces five playoff teams from last year, starting with Omaha Westview and Omaha Central in consecutive weeks. The schedule then includes North Star (week 4), Elkhorn South (week 5), and Papio South (week 7).</p>

<p><em>Breakdown:</em> Despite a 0-3 start last season, the Titans were still able to turn the season around as they won four of their last six games to clinch a wildcard spot. Look for the Titans to rely heavily on workhorse RB [player_tooltip player_id='402147' first='Derek' last='Jones'], who rushed for 1,121 yards with 13 touchdowns and recently announced his commitment to Nebraska-Kearney. He will have an excellent offensive line to run behind with players like [player_tooltip player_id='1476149' first='Jack' last='Deloske'], [player_tooltip player_id='795737' first='Hudson' last='Meckna'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1114440' first='Kaleb' last='Bailey'] all in the fold to start. Skill positions are another area of strength for the Titans, with prospects like [player_tooltip player_id='487616' first='Ayuel' last='Geu'], [player_tooltip player_id='487796' first='Elon' last='Washington'], [player_tooltip player_id='1571968' first='Cole' last='Lempp'], [player_tooltip player_id='487566' first='Grant' last='Beckenhauer'], and [player_tooltip player_id='487618' first='Logan' last='Arch'] all possessing great playmaking abilities. The start of this season won't be any easier than the last as the Titans play four playoff teams in a row in cross-town rival Papio La Vista, Omaha North, Millard North, and Omaha Westview. They also face playoff teams in Kearney and Elkhorn South during the second half of the season.</p>
