The BRLD Football Team lost 21-20 at Oakland-Craig Friday night in the C2-2 District Championship Game aired on 107.9 the Bull.
The Wolverines had a chance to win it as they went up 14-0 before a two-point conversion failed late in the game when Will Gatzemeyer slipped.
BRLD gave up 261 yards of total offense, including 178 on the ground.
Great effort from the Wolverines, but they come up just short.
Head Coach Dan Maresh. "I don't know if our kids just kind of let up a little bit or if it just kind turned a little bit for us, that's Football. I mean that's kind of where it came to. We were clicking pretty good, they made some adjustments, and we just had a couple stumbling blocks at the wrong time. But hey proud of the effort. Proud of that first half. And I think our kids can see what they're capable of."
Maresh on the loss. "We have a future ahead of us. We got playoff time. That's an exciting time of year."
The Wolverines (7-2) host Freeman (7-2) in the first round of the playoffs Friday night.
The Falcons won 34-0 at home over Conestoga Friday night to end the regular season.
Freeman is a solid team, but I don't think they're quite as good as and haven't played the same caliber of opponents that BRLD has.
The Wolverines a very strong, physical Football Team from Northeast Nebraska, and the game is at home.
I look for BRLD to win by a couple of touchdowns and move on to the next round.
The winner gets either Centennial or North Platte St. Pat's in the Quarterfinals next Friday so the Wolverines definitely have their work cut out for them either way if they win.
I think BRLD is playoff ready and equipped though.
I think the Wolverines can do some damage in the playoffs and perhaps pull off a real shocker.
I think BRLD will be extremely motivated given the loss to the Knights to end the regular season.
I feel the Wolverines will play with a chip on their shoulder from here on out, and really get after things.
BRLD has a shot at redemption Friday night so we'll see what the Wolverines can do.
BRLD has to finish what they started this time.
The Wolverines let one get away against Oakland-Craig, and this time BRLD finishes.
The weather should be fine so there shouldn't be any poor field conditions or anything although it could be a little wet with the projected rain in the forecast Wednesday and Thursday.
The Wolverines have to get into beast mode, and be ready to hit hard and lay the hammer and smackdown down.
BRLD has to give 110% on every play Friday night.
The Wolverines have to maximize their potential and ability Friday night, and give the Falcons all they will ever want and then some.
BRLD has to be focused, humble, hungry, and determined.
Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m. in Lyons.
