The BRLD Football Team topped Freeman 56-39 at home in the 1st round of the playoffs Friday night.
Will Gatzemeyer was 11-22 passing for 257 yards and five touchdowns while rushing for 104 yards on 15 carries and a score. Jackson Beaudette carried the ball 25 times for 154 yards, and scored once. Lucas Vogt had 7 catches for 165 yards and four touchdowns. Dylan Beutler made one catch for 55 yards, good enough for a TD.
Gatzemeyer, Vogt, and Derek Petersen notched 12 tackles apiece while Parker Paulson and Jaxon Johnson made 10 and 8, respectively.
The Wolverines racked up 552 yards of total offense, including 295 rushing.
Great offensive effort from BRLD and great effort overall. The Wolverines are going to be very difficult to beat putting up those kind of numbers.
BRLD (8-2) takes on Centennial (10-0) on the road in the State Quarterfinals Friday night in action that can be heard on 107.9 the Bull.
The Broncos shutout North Platte St. Pat's 28-0 at home in the opening round of the playoffs last week.
I feel this game has upset potential.
The thing of it is though Centennial appears to be the complete team offensively and defensively.
BRLD has a really good offense, and their defense has been good too, but the Wolverines gave up a lot of points to the Falcons and Norfolk Catholic earlier in the season.
I think BRLD's defense is need to going to play real well for the Wolverines to win.
The offense has to do what they did last week too, and continue this wave of momentum they currently have.
BRLD can definitely win this one, they just have to finish.
The Wolverines can't afford to get off to a good start and taper off like they did against Oakland-Craig.
That can't happen if BRLD wants to spring the upset.
Centennial is a good football team, and beating them in their place won't be easy.
It's the playoffs though, and anything can happen, and crazy things could certainly take place in this one.
I think Gatzemeyer needs to have another big game for the Wolverines to be able to win, and Beaudette, Vogt, and Beutler all need to play well again as well for BRLD.
The Wolverines have to get physical with the Broncos and play smashmouth, in your face, Northeast Nebraska Football.
This one has all the makings of being a great one and an instant classic, and BRLD has to go out there and take the bull by the horns, literally.
The Wolverines have to take what's theirs, and stake claim to a berth in the State Semifinals.
It should be a great game, and I can't wait to see what happens.
Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. with pregame at 6:30 p.m. on the Bull.
