Good question, so let me explain what source I used and why the odd number of 79 seasons. The Omaha World-Herald has long since been the main source for determining these state-wide, all-state selections, although there is certainly NOTHING wrong with the Lincoln Journal-Star’s all-state choices...

It is once again time for the Football guy to choose All-State Basketball teams. Unless I’ve missed by a mile on these picks, playing for a team that made it to the State Basketball Tournament this past season was almost a MUST to make this elite list...

Here are your Class B Boys statistical leaders going into this week’s State Basketball Tournament. The classes below Class A will not be as detailed due to the fact that not all schools turned in certain stats to Max Preps. However, these should still shed a little light on who to look out for when you watch your favorite team(s) compete at the State Tournament this week...

GRAND ISLAND CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL Santa Claus dropped a late Christmas gift by my front door a week ago when I found out the Elkhorn North and Broken Bow girls would be meeting up at GICC, right across the fence from my house. Better yet, they asked me to do the PA for this meeting...

Here are my 2021 High School All-State Football teams. I take great pride publishing these each season and I do realize there are more than 11 athletes on my 11-Man teams and in excess of 8 on the 8-Man squads. The reason is simple. While not totally watering down these elite squads, I will not leave a deserving player off my All-State teams and I DO have a formula for doing this...

MILES FIELD, KEARNEY, NE. Fullerton assistant football coach Eric Frenzen told me at halftime that the difference in this football game was the “tough farm kids” from Lakeview. Vikings head coach Kurt Frenzen may certainly have agreed on that point, but all I know is that this Columbus Lakeview team has reeled off 9 straight victories after I saw them drop a 30-17 decision to Wayne back on September 10th and it showed tonight in Vikings convincing 31-21 win over a previously undefeated Kearney Catholic team.. ...

Are you one of those high school football fans who loves to look at Offensive team statistics? Will they tell you anything about how these semifinal games will turnout Friday? I’ll make a deal with you. I’ll dole them out (excepting Wilber-Clatonia and BDS), and you can make your own decision about how these will directly affect game outcomes. Personally, I like to know the run/pass balance of each of these semifinalists, but as we all know, games aren’t played on paper...

SOUTH OF STROMSBURG, NE. In a game that could have easily been good enough to be a Class D-1 State Championship matchup, Cross County held off a brutal Lourdes Central Catholic passing attack to advance to the D-1 semifinals. The 58-51 victory by Hayden DeLano’s Cross County forces over a Nebraska City Lourdes team I consider to be the best ever from that institution, will go down as one of the greatest 8-Man football playoff games of the 21st century...
