Class A: Omaha North (4-0) at Millard South (4-0)
- Omaha North has a chance. They won't win it, but they have a chance. Millard South is not invincible - but they're pretty good, obviously. Defense is the mystery for them; however, they're scoring at a high rate.
Millard South: 42 - Omaha North 28
Class B: Lincoln Pius X (1-3) at Norris (1-3)
- This one feels like two pretty good teams that have fallen victim to two pretty tough schedules. Sort of has the "win now" or miss the playoffs type vibe. Admittedly, don't know a ton about either..
Norris: 32 - Lincoln Pius: 21
Class C1: Columbus Lakeview (2-2) at Pierce (4-0)
- This one feels important, doesn't it? What a roller coaster the first 4 weeks has been for Lakeview. They have a good team, they have a little bad luck, and that has put them at 2-2. This is a huge "get right" opportunity for the Vikings. Pierce, well, they're good too, yeah? Said week 1 I think they find a way to win it all (maybe AG says otherwise). But I think this can send a clear message that they're back to their old ways. At Pierce.. That matters.
Pierce: 27 - Lakeview: 24
Class C2: Norfolk Catholic (1-3) at Hartington Cedar Catholic (4-0)
- Only choosing this one because it seems so strange.. Is a 1-4 start, which yes, Cedar Catholic is going to win, enough to leave Norfolk Catholic out of the playoffs? If so, when's the last time that happened?
Cedar Catholic: 35 - Norfolk Catholic: 17
Class D1: Exeter-Milligan-Friend (3-1) at Sutton (3-1)
- Let's talk about EMF.. Are they a dark horse? I'd say so, and maybe they're becoming a legitimate contender? I think Sandy Creek probably put everyone back on notice after a dominate win over D3 favorite Central Valley; however, you never know. EMF has a chance to take a major step forward.. Sutton? Same thing. Too much size and too much ability at EMF, though.
EMF: 44 - Sutton 24
Class D2: Nebraska City Lourdes (3-1) at David City Aquinas (3-1)
- Lourdes with a comeback win against FCSH last week. Aquinas with the lone loss to HD - bodes well for EB who handled business on Saturday morning. I think this is going to be a really good game, could go either way.
NC Lourdes: 32 - DC Aquinas: 30
Class D3: Clarkson (3-1) at Leigh (3-1)
- Several big/meaningful games it appears in D3 this week.. But, come on, how do you ignore this story line! Maybe to the outsiders it feels "bigger" than it does to these two communities.. Maybe not? I have no skin in the game, but I remember the feelings/emotions last spring when this all came about.. I'll be honest, though, I didn't foresee this being a 3-1 vs 3-1 matchup. Kudos to both towns for competing and making the most of their seasons and pushing for playoff spots.
