Prep Football Quarterfinals

Five area teams are in action today hoping to advance to Saturday's semifinal round. In Class B, Hastings travels to McCook and Aurora is at Cozad. In Class C-1, Adams Central is at Pierce and Boone Central goes to Norfolk Catholic. In Class C-2, Burwell plays at Cambridge.

Four of those teams have to be considered underdogs, with the Aurora-Cozad matchup a toss-up on paper. Some upsets will have to be pulled off to avoid the area having no team qualify for the finals in Lincoln for a second consecutive year.

But the area is guaranteed to have a six-man state champion for the third straight year. Arcadia plays Elba for the title in Kearney on Thursday. Wheeler Central won the previous two titles.
