Except for Class A and six-man tonight and Class B next week, the first round of the playoffs are complete. It was a typical opening round. There were some upsets, some not-so-upsets and plenty of blowouts. That's expected when over half the teams in the state qualify for the postseason.
Burwell's win over Heartland in Class C-2 was a thouroughly enjoyable game. Some trick plays by both teams and a game that went down to the wire before the Longhorns prevailed 15-12. Sometimes teams seem to have luck on their side, and sometimes they make their own luck. Seemed to be a little of both for Burwell, which now hosts Superior.
The loaded West bracket in Class C-1 brings us a pair of great second round match-ups just 14 miles apart on Wednesday. No. 1 Hastings St. Cecilia travels to Pierce and GICC goes to Norfolk Catholic. Also, after traveling to Mitchell to post a 58-0 blanking, Adams Central gets rewarded by hosting Chadron.
Palmer made a statment in Class D-1 by blasting defending state champion Overton. Anybody not think the Tigers are for real? That's a mistake.
