    Cedar Catholic's Stephen Hillis

    Looking through saw this so I thought I would update. Due to a medical condition (type 1 diabetes) Hillis had to leave AF Academy. He is now at South Dakota, where as a freshman eligibility wise was a junior academically. Had something to do with the military and the AF academy for...

    D2 have has it ever been this low

    Interesting that a lot of these schools are from the panhandle. Is there any connection to availability of the "elite" programs where the kids spend their summers playing ball? Omaha has numerous, Norfolk has several, Sioux City, etc. Kids on these teams are playing more basketball in one...

    Football High seeds hosting playoff games.

    Worrying about school days missed and parents/fans having to take time off to get to games is a real concern. Why not have the games played on Saturday in the afternoon. No school missed, no extra days off, might miss the Husker game which this year would be a bonus.

    I misunderstood your question. I took it as who gives us something to talk about at the coffee shop on Saturday. Both are good questions, lol

    C2 Playoff Projections Updated Through Week 8

    I've seen both Cedar and Ponca this year, both very good teams. Ponca has an effective passing attack which will give Cedar a real test. Cedar has some very good and very big linemen. The other piece to Cedar is their speed. They start 3 kids who were on the second place 4X1 state relay...

    Football Scores from Thursday (8/24)

    Their line play last night was something to see. "Tough Draw" is an understatement in my mind.

    2017 Shrine Bowl Rosters Announced

    It's hard to know who was invited. Some of the kids invited turn it down for various reasons ranging from family commitments to next level school concerns. It would be fun to know who all was invited. Knowing that there are 13 FBS commits in Nebraska and only six playing tells us that about...

    Thoughts....

    There is an old cliché, “it’s hard to compare apples to oranges”. It's relevant here for this discussion. I've lived in ten different states due to my profession and most of the parochial schools I've seen have been in urban areas until coming here to Nebraska. I haven't lived in Kansas but...

    I like MR as a person, and as a head coach. What concerns me is his age, he's 63 right now. Think back to your late teen age years and early twenties. How many sexagenarians did you relate to? That is a recruiting issue. Plus just on pure energy not too many major college coaches starting a...

    Cedar Catholic's Stephen Hillis

    Everything is good with the AF and Hillis. He completed his application, the coach visited him on 5 Dec in his home, he's excited about the opportunity. His Dad is a 30 year retired military man, his Mom was a physician in the Navy so he should understand what a military life is like. I know...
