The Nebraska High School All-State Football Project - Saluting 1990

The 1990 State Football Playoffs were held during the 10th, 11th, and 12th weeks of the football season. The finals for Classes A and D3 and the semifinals for the other five classes were held Saturday, November 10. The finals for B, C1, C2, D1, and D2 were played on November 16. Class A was made up of the 32 largest schools; the next 64 largest were Class B; the remainder of the schools playing 11-man football were divided into C1 and C2 having 43 schools each. The D1 and D2 schools were all the schools playing 8-man football. There were 62 schools in D1 and 61 schools in D2. Class D3 had 28 schools playing 6-man football. Classes A and D3: Eight teams qualified for the playoffs. The Class A and D3 schools were assigned to six districts with the teams with the best point averages, as determined by the point system, being declared district champions and qualifying for the playoffs. Two wild card teams qualified based on their final point average. Classes B, C1, C2, D1 and D2: Sixteen teams qualified for the playoffs. Qualifiers were selected on the basis of conference representatives and the point system. Five Class B conferences qualified a representative for the playoffs; the other qualifiers were selected by the point system.

---------------------------------------------------------------

“Here are some key members of this 1990 group that either went on to play at the next level, or simply stood out as top level players at the high school level:

*Reggie Baul-Papillion LV- Reggie went on to be a three-year letterman at Nebraska and starter in 1995, catching a total of 41 passes for 720 yards and five touchdowns from of his split end spot. He totaled 34 receptions for 604 yards over his final two seasons combined. 2nd Team All-Big 8 in 1995 and of course, played on the Huskers' two National Championship teams in ‘94 and ‘95.

*Tony Veland-Omaha Benson - What a high school football player! I saw him set a Shrine Bowl record for Total Yards, which is next to impossible in any All-Star game where the defense ALWAYS has the advantage. Veland went on to star at Nebraska where his role was switched to free safety. Tony had a fine senior season, starting all 11 games. He served as team captain and earned second-team All-Big Eight honors, logging 38 tackles (22 solo). He was named 2nd Team All-Big 8 in 1996.

Tony was then drafted by the Denver Broncos in the 6th Round (#181) of the 1997 NFL draft and ended up earning a Super Bowl ring on that ‘97 Broncos team. Veland played one more NFL season (with the Carolina Panthers) before retiring. He later was the defensive coordinator for the Omaha Beef from 2008-2013).

*Jeff Ogard-St. Paul - Took Christian Peters' place as starting DT in 1996 for the Huskers. Ogard recorded a very respectable 34 tackles that year (11 solos) and was 2nd Team All-Big 12 in ‘96.

*Brian Schuster-Fullerton - Real STUD running back for the Warriors for two seasons, then a tough running starting fullback for the Huskers in 1996. A vicious blocker, Schuster played in an all-star backfield which included Scott Frost and Ahman Green. Pretty good company, I’d say.

*Scott Frost-Wood River - Named as an All-State DB his sophomore season here in 1990, we will hear more about Scott’s high school career in the next two Nebraska High School All-State Football Project articles. I can tell you right now, Scott was one of the toughest high school football players I have ever seen play the game.

(11-0) Papillion 42-21 Grand Island (11-0)

*Champion*: Papillion (12-0) Head Coach: Gene Suhr

I remember getting to this game an hour early, looking at the Grand Island side and shockingly seeing only a handful of Islander fans. Meanwhile, the Papillion side was FULL with the crowd chanting “Papio! Papio! Papio! over and over again. I had a feeling what was coming, I was right, and it wasn’t pretty for the home field Islanders.

With just a bit more than a minute into the game, Papillion fullback Chris Norris broke up the middle for a 48 yard touchdown and the route was on. When it was all over, the Monarchs had laid a 42-21 pasting on a fine Grand Island team, with RB Gary Payne rushing for 209 yards and 5 touchdowns in the game. Papio All-State QB Jason Cahill connected on 11 of 19 passes for 209 yards while the Monarch defense played lights out in the opening half, shutting out GI, while the Papio offense gave Gene Suhr’s undefeated forces a 28-0 halftime advantage.

(11-0) *Elkhorn Mt. Michael 14-7 Columbus Lakeview (12-0)

*Champion*: Elkhorn Mt. Michael (12-0) Head Coach: Jim “Killer” Kane

Mt. Michael’s experience was too much for a very strongLakeview team, who had zero passing yards in the 14-7 loss to the Knights in the Class B title game. To make matters even worse, the Vikings suffered 3 interceptions out of the 6 passes they attempted in the contest. Despite the 3 picks and just 127 rushing yards on 36 attempts for the game, Columbus Lakeview was still very much in the contest entering the 4th quarter. Halfway through the Money quarter, the Vikings drove all the way to Mt. Michael’s 17 yard line before two major penalties forced them into a punting situation back near midfield.

On Lakeview’s following possession, the Knight’s stripped the football from Vikings RB Jason Fernau and Mt. Michael’s All-Stater Jeff Clyne pounced on the loose ball with 5:22 left in the contest. Nine plays later, Mike Tagel followed the left side of his line to score the winning touchdown from 2 yards out with 1:29 remaining. Tagel, who scored the Knight’s only other touchdown on a 3 yard first quarter dash, finished the game with 113 yards on 23 carries, elevating him over the 1000 yard rushing mark for the season (1,096 yards).

Final (@ Sutton)

(12-0) Geneva 57-0 Fremont Bergan (12-0)

Champion: Geneva (13-0), Head Coach - Ron Nannen

Led by the pinpoint passing of Derek Nannen and the brutal running of State Rushing Champion Casey Head AND Chad Chapman, the Wildcats took advantage of a banged up Fremont Bergan squad to post a lopsided 57-0 win in the C-1 championship contest. The Knights were playing without their magnificent quarterback/defensive signal caller Blane Rump, who had suffered a broken leg in Bergan’s semifinal win over Centennial.

Geneva, who had just blitzed Scott Frost and Wood River 50-13 in the semifinals, were led by Head’s 148 yards on 29 carries with a pair of scoring runs and QB Derek Nannen, who completed 6-12 passes for 3 touchdowns, one of which was gathered in by Chad Chapman. The 165 pound junior Chapman also carried 6 times for an even 100 yards, which included TD runs of 50 and 31 yards.

Champion: Grant (13-0) Head Coach - Merlin Terwilliger (B to B)

Top rate Grant scored on its first four possessions of the game and never looked back on its way to a 35-7 win over #3 Bloomfield in the Class C-2 Championship game. At the time, it was Grant’s third consecutive football title and 8th overall, a state record in state playoff history up to 1990. All-State quarterback Troy Terwilliger completed 10 of 17 passes for 233 yards and three TDs. Two of the scoring passes were to Troy’s brother Ryan, with the other going to 1000 yard rusher Craig Olson. In addition to his 27 and 70 yard scoring receptions, Ryan Terwilliger had 80 yards rushing on 12 totes with a 2 touchdown run. Ryan’s 4 pass receptions added up to 105 yards.

Wade Edis was absolutely unstoppable in Mullen’s 44-34 win over a fine Kenesaw team, exploding for 335 yards and touchdown runs of 62, 38 and 2 yards which accounted for most of the Broncos 408 yards on the ground.

It took that kind of a performance from Edis to overcome a sensational game by Kenesaw quarterback Jeff Nienhauser, who completed 15 of 31 passes for 300 yards.

(12-0) Falls City Sacred Heart 44-16 Palmer (12-0)

Champion: Falls City Sacred Heart (13-0), Head Coach - Doug Goltz

After uncharacteristically turning the ball over on two of their three possessions and spotting Palmer an 8-0 lead, Sacred Heart exploded for 22 second quarter points, on their way to a 44-16 Class D-2 State Championship game victory. The Palmer defense, who hadn't given up a big play all year, was in shock modc after giving up a 55 yard TD run by Jeff Schawang and 44 yard scoring sprint by QB Steve Simon. Tigers quarterback Clayton Glause also suffered a pair of interceptions in that letal 2nd quarter.

Doug Goltz stuck with the run game the remainder of the way with Schawang and Simon accounting for 297 of Falls City Sacred Heart’s 343 total rushing yards. The great Steve Simon ended the night with 172 yards on 26 carries with touchdown runs covering 44, 5 and 28 yards. Jeff Schawang piled up 125 big ones on 16 totes with scoring dashes of 55 and 2 yards.

For Doug Goltz and the Irish boys, it was their FOURTH state title in major sports, having won football, basketball and track in the year before.
