Omaha Burke running back James Burks scored three rushing touchdowns to bring his state-leading total to 17, as the top-ranked Bulldogs pulled out the 35-28 road win over #8 Omaha Westside. The Workhorse Burks carried 39 times for 245 yards in the game, and it was his final tote that sealed the deal for Omaha Burke....

When Omaha Burke running back and safety James Burks walks off the bus, opposing teams may not notice him. The 5-foot-9-inch, 170-pound junior doesn’t cut an imposing figure. But inside his own locker room, his presence is known. “He’s a tough dude,” said Burke head football coach Paul Limongi. “I don’t think there’s too many...

Omaha Westside scored touchdowns on each of its first eight possessions to leave no doubt in a 63-7 trampling of Omaha Central. The Warriors, now 4-1, have scored at least 41 points in all five contests this season and remain Class A's most prolific offense. Running back Jaden Kohls took the opening kickoff 98 yards...

In an era of self-promotion and bare-all 24-hour social media onslaughts, Omaha Westside running back Jaden Kohls is a rarity. “Extremely quiet, introverted,” said Westside head football coach Brett Froendt. “You won’t see him psyching the kids up, psyching himself up. Just a quiet, hard competitor.” In 2017, Kohls’ play on the field has said plenty....

After falling behind 3-0 early in the first quarter, Class B #6 Omaha Skutt Catholic reeled off 45 unanswered points to run away with a win over #4 Elkhorn.

Turman was a largely unheralded walk-on at Nebraska, but not without talent. He earned a spot on the 1992 Shrine Bowl team after an all-state senior season...

It was a tale of two Camerons. The backfield duo of junior running backs Cameron Baker and Cameron Lukavsky powered the Thomas Jefferson Yellowjackets to a win over city rival Abraham Lincoln with nearly identical 71-yard touchdown runs. It is the first time Thomas Jefferson has beaten Abraham Lincoln since 2008, a losing streak of 10...

Noah Mick is strong. The senior fullback at Millard North can practically lift the weight room. His bench press and clean are both more than 300 pounds. As the man in the middle for head coach Fred Petito’s option-heavy offense, he needs all that strength. But he’s more than a battering ram. “He’s as good a runner...
