One thing is for sure. All the high school fans I talked to at the Girls' State semifinals today at the Pinnacle Bank Arena had nothing but high praise for the facility, the help, and the overall experience. I thought everything was about as good as it gets from my vantage point on Press Row plus a tour of the entire facility between sessions this afternoon...
Here are the probable lineups for the teams competing in the 7th Annual Heartland Hoops Classic set for Saturday, February 15th at the Heartland Events Center in Grand Island. These, of course, can be subject to change. 9:00am Overton (16-4) vs. Sutton (12-8)...
We have arrived to the final two games of this 7th edition of the Heartland Hoops Classic and once again Nebraska basketball power Omaha Central will be paired with an out-state power. The Eagles will face a formidable Class 5A Colorado high school team in Denver East in the featured game of the day. But before we spotlight that dandy, how about a look at Game 7 which sends Kearney to the Events Center to meet Class A's #5 rated Norfolk...
A couple of pretty cool matchups at 4 and 5:45 Saturday. Let's take a look at these games so you'll be prepared. Doniphan-Trumbull (16-3) vs. Norfolk Catholic (11-8) {4:00pm) How about this matchup Tino Martinez lined up? A traditional C-1 power from the Northeast against a C-2 power from Central Nebraska. Both teams have speed to burn and love to run. D-T is coming off a state football title and the same superb cast runs the basketball show...
Today we spotlight games 3 and 4 of this year's Classic. Game 3 features Class B's number 1 Elkhorn South going against Grand Island Senior High while Class B power Wahoo Neumann takes on Grand Island Northwest in game 4. And now, on to the previews:...
This coming Saturday February 15 the Heartland Events Center in Grand Island will be alive and kicking with some very fine high school basketball. Local entrepreneur Tino Martinez has lined up 8 match-ups that will feature teams all the way the southeastern edge of Nebraska all the way to Denver, Colorado. The 7th annual Heartland Hoops Classic will commence next Saturday and is not only the only one of its kind in Nebraska, but the only one to withstand the winds of time...
They may not come under the titles of Fabulous Freshman or Sensational Sophomores, but this year's class of young male talent has coaches, as well as fans across Nebraska seeing visions of March Madness in Lincoln. I have seen more young talent this season than I can recall in a long time...
And here is the simulated Class C-2 picture. Really difficult to forecast a situation like Hastings St. Cecilia facing Doniphan-Trumbull a third time. Maybe equally as tough is predicting a winner between Ainsworth/Hartington CC, which would be a rematch of the District 5 Final...
And here is the simulated Class B picture. The computer must like the Northwest Vikings. District 1: (play-in games) - Norris 62-44 Platteview Waverly 48-38 Nebraska City SEMI-FINALS: Plattsmouth 54-52 Norris Lincoln Pius X 44-38 Waverly FINALS: Plattsmouth 54-52 Lincoln Pius X...
These simulations have aways intrigued me although we all know games are not played on paper. I've simulated these basketball situations before but never bothered to check how close they came to fruition after the season was over. It takes time to do these things but when you are retired (and not practicing drums for 2 hours a day), it seems like a kick to do it. ...
Alright, I'm finally over my football withdrawal. Well, never completely, but high school hoops season is in full swing and I've noticed some very noteworthy things attending games here and there and watching a ton of film. Lots of players that fit that "borderline star" status and a real youth movement that will pay huge dividends down the road for many teams. ...
I am not certain how difficult this team was to pick for any of the other three people who do all-state football, but it was a chore for me. This C-2 class has been chastised over the years, being referred to as the "forgotten class" or the "red-haired step child" of all the football classes. But this fall, it was anything but either of the two aforementioned. Class C-2 was a football class loaded with quality football programs and to reach the finals was a huge accomplishment...
Late additions to Bobby Mills 1000 Yard Club list Thanks to the Omaha World-Herald's Stu Pospisil, 6 more 1000 yard rushers have been discovered for the 2013 list. As always, we are very grateful to Stu for catching these names that I didn't uncover. We never want to leave a deserving young man off the list...
QB - Jackson Sudbeck - Wynot, 5-7, 165 Sr. Not much drama choosing this position except that FCSH quarterback Chaz Dunn may have had an arguement due to the state title by the Irish. But how can you argue with Jackson Sudbeck's stats? His stats were like a college QB, completing 227 of 388 of his passes for 3,562 yards (59%) and 55 touchdowns with only 7 interceptions.....are you kidding me!...
*This is the 39th edition of the Bobby Mills 1000 Yard Club, an annual compilation of all the high school running backs in Nebraska to reach the 1000 yard plateau in rushing. *A total of 92 running backs eclipsed the 1000 yard rushing mark in 2013. There were 60 seniors, 29 juniors, and 3 sophomores on this year's list...
I'm going to jump ahead to Class D-1 All-State for the simple reason some information on C-2 athletes has not arrived. We'll do both the 8-Man class All-State squads, then proceed with C-2. *2013 Class D-1 Offensive All-State TeamQB - Matthew Wood - Hemingford, 6-2, 195 Jr...
*2013 Class C-1 Offensive All-State SquadQB - Wyatt Mazour - Boone Central/Newman Grove, 5-9, 185 Jr. The Cardinal's signal caller and Houdini like runner, could pull of the finest "now you see me, now you don't" act in C-1. You had to see Mazour perform to believe it. ...
We'll cut right to the chase, friends. *2013 Class B Offensive TeamQB - Linden Kaliff - York, 6-0, 175 Sr. Senior led the Dukes to their dream season with his cool head under pressure. No, the State Final didn't go the way Kaliff wanted but that didn't erase his outstanding season. In 13 games Kaliff hit 57% of his passes for a whopping 2,529 yards and 16 touchdowns. Finest hour was Kaliff's 20 of 36, 340 yard performance in the wild overtime win over Ralston in the quarterfinals...
