Prep Football Week 8

In some rare positive football news this week in the state, it is Day 2 of the annual two-day end of regular season football festival. If Thursday was any indication, tonight should be a fun night.

Teams are fighting for playoff berths, home games and district titles. Grand Island Senior High hosts Kearney trying to bring an end to the Bearcats' winning ways in a battle for a district title.

Although the Class B season extends one more week, Aurora has its bye next week so it ends its regular season by hosting Seward with a playoff reservation on the line.

On Thursday, Ord earned its way into the C-1 field with a double OT win over Central City, also playoff bound.

Osceola snuck into the picture in Class C-2 by upsetting East Butler.

The game of the night saw C-1 No. 1 Hastings St. Cecilia best No. 5 Adams Central 7-0 on Riley Nikkila's 71-yard punt return for a TD near the end of the third quarter. This game could be taken several ways. Both teams showed they have defenses to get deep into the playoffs. But there's questions about the offenses now, even while playing on a windy and wet night.
