Pre Game Chatter:

Cozad shocked everybody in the state but themselves when they beat #1 Boone Central 35-7. The Haymakers have the most team speed in C-1, the best line blocking, and the fastest player in the entire state in Jake Paulsen.

Paulsen has had huge holes to run through, but can perform magic when get gets past the line of scrimmage. Paulsen has run for 2,335 yards ands has gained steam with every playoff game. Simon Rangel (6-3, 260) and Jacob Stillbaum (6-4, 270) are two of the finest O-Lineman in Class C-1 and Adam Boryca is the best blocking FB and linebacker in the class. This team is on a mission.

Not many football scribes could have forecast Ashland-Greenwood would be in this position next Tuesday, but the Bluejays have a magician of their own in Gunnar Garner. The 5-10, 165 pound senior quarterback can flat out get in done and has done some marvelous things in the playoffs. Bo Kitrell is one the best linebackers in C-1 and the A/G defense is just plain stingy. Bluejays will be an underdog in this game and must contain Paulsen if they want to get the title.
