Football Final Firsts
The fall sports season came to a close with 6 classes crowing champions on the Memorial Stadium turf. I had made my picks here and I got one champion right, Class D1 Howells.
Class A:
Millard West def Millard South 21-8 (Millard West’s 2nd Class A championship, 2001)
Dubbed the Battle for “Q” St. after the street they both are on in Omaha.
Class B:
Aurora def. Beatrice 20-14 (Aurora’s first HS football championship)
Aurora shocked the whole state in the semifinals with a 37-33 victory over McCook
Class C1:
Pierce def. Boys Town 20-10 (Back to back state titles and the schools 3rd overall)
Class C2:
Blue Hill def. (Fremont) Archbishop Bergan 14-0 (After 2 consecutive runner up finishes, Blue Hill finally gets their first state title in football)
This is Blue Hill’s first state title in any sport since 1928 when they won the Class H boys basketball title.
Class D1:
Howells def. Axtell 46-21 (Howells’ 7th state title and first since their 6 straight from 00-05)
Class D2:
Ewing def. Humphrey St. Francis 49-24 (Ewing’s first state football championship)
3 schools won their first state title in football and 3 other schools (Axtell, Boys Town, Beatrice) would have won their first had they won.
