Jack Kenny caught two long touchdowns and Shane Mauch passed for two scores, and Tyson Chromy rushed for a touchdown to give the North Platte offense some life, but the defense was unable to stop the Spartans attack. North Platte drops to 0-3 with the loss. They’re at Bellevue East next Friday.

The Wallace Wildcats did not kindly welcome South Platte back to eight-man football. It was a total rout in Wallace as the Wildcats hammered the visitors 68-6. For one night at least, Wallace’s offense lived up to it’s high-powered potential and made for a fun night for the home crowd.
The Swedes jumped out in front early and held on late for a 17-12 victory at Ogallala. That makes it two straight wins for the Swedes over the Indians, following their quadruple-OT win in the playoffs last year. Though Gothenburg doesn’t have much returning experience this year, their new players appear to have settled in nicely.
