Creighton is going to be very down here shortly. They don’t have the athletes coming up they’ve had the last few years. Also aren’t going to be suitting up 30-40 kids like they used to. I think this year they only had about 17 out

It’s still crazy to me that they were C1 in 2004 and 2005. Creighton playing Pierce not that long ago in the playoffs and beating them. Crazy.

Add Elkhorn to the list. After 41 years, 356 wins and six state championships, Mark Wortman is retiring. Finishes with a career record of 356-96 (.788)

 

[ThereIsNoPlace_rivals38755]

More legends retiring. Guess we won't be seeing a McCook v. Elkhorn match-up in Lincoln anytime soon.

Going out on top. Congrats coach!

 

[mgbreeze]

Is Elkhorn going to keep rolling or will South/North water things down a bit? My guess is keep rolling. Will they all eventually be Class A?

Cambridge has parted ways with Rodney Yates. I'd say at this point that's a "buyers beware" situation at the tradition rich school.

Cambridge, McCook, Bishop Neumann, Elkhorn...some blue bloods in HS football in Nebraska. Could probably classify a few more as a blue blood, too. Creighton

Yikes. I know they have tradition, but small town life has changed. What is bringing families to Cambridge? What can they realistically expect? Maybe they should think about Arapahoe as a partner and play 11 man football again.

I'd assume neither would care to do that but is there admin/parent issues in play here? Not real sure but did they not fire their basketball staff midseason a year or two ago?

Yes...they removed both the boys and girls coach mid-year. Oddly enough, the girls coach was Rodney Yates and the boys coach was Yates' father in-law Steve Kirkham...who by the way had won like a dozen RMAC championships leading Colorado-Mesa's women's program.

This is a recurring thing in Cambridge. I don't recall the exact year-maybe 2008 or 2009- they fired Andy Long after his GBB team went undefeated.

 

[BigBallerRed]

Johnson County Central was open and filled by Ryan Haughton.

 

[coachsloup_anon]

CWC will be open with Tom Thramer taking same position with Summerland.

Is Jeff Shabram not coaching Summerland anymore? He was Head Coach for Orchard/Clearwater for years.

Agreed. A little surprised Shabram isn't getting the job.

No doubt Creighton will be short on numbers if the boys don't go out. If the new coach can talk the kids into going out they shouldn't have much of a drop off. I think their JH team lost one or two games. Cupboard is far from bare.

Jeff Kezeor named head coach at Beatrice.

Southern Valley has hired former assistant coach Justin Adams to be the next HC.

 

[PSC77]

Any new updates? I'm pretty sure Maxwell and Weeping Water have filled their positions. Just don't know by who.

 

[Football4281]

Weeping Water announced yesterday they hired Mitchell Shepherd. He's been at Marysville, Kansas. Was the head coach at Pawnee City for awhile before that.

Chris Koozer is leaving Sidney to take the head coaching job at Norfolk.

Sidney is now open.

Koozer was head coach at Sidney for six years and was 21-32 while floating between Classes B and C1. He is also a former head coach at Bridgeport and former assistant at Grand Island.
