Jeff’s Yutan Preview:
Tekamah-Herman (1-4) takes on Yutan (2-3) on the road Friday night. The Chieftains won 7-6 at Fremont Bergan last week. Jansen says his team is out to prove that last week’s win was no fluke.
There’s only one thing left to do if you’re Tekamah-Herman….and that’s take the Bull by the horns.
Jeff’s Take on the Contest:
This is another opportunity for a win for the Tigers. Tekamah-Herman has knocked off Yutan a couple other times in previous years after picking up their first win of the season so I’m anxious to see if the Tigers can do it again. Tekamah-Herman really has nothing to lose the rest of the season so the Tigers have to continue go out there and lay it all out on the line and give it their all for 4 quarters. These kids have to continue to get better and continue to play hard and be physical at the point of attack.
