Coming up this Friday night we have high school football at Minden as the Whippets host the 8th ranked Gothenburg Swedes. Our coverage starts at 6:40pm with kickoff at 7pm. 

At 6:05 pm we will bring you the Countryman Associates high school football preview show. As usual we will have a number of area coaches on the show.

This week will will hear from Phil Truax of Lexington, Jason Hale of Holdrege, Craig Haake of Gothenburg, Minden's Sam Dunn, Eustis Farnam's Brad Dunlap, Kevin Mahlberg of Elwood, Glenn Snodgrass of Overton and we will also talk with Stan Wissel of Elm Creek. 

It had to be a roller coaster weekend for North Platte's Danny Woodhead. On Saturday he was told that he made the New York Jets and then on Sunday he was told that he had been cut. Jets coach Rex Ryan said over the weekend that Woodhead had done everything he could do to make the team. Lets hope he gets picked up by another team or the Jets resign him to the practice squad. 

Thursday really gets things rolling around Central Nebraska with fall sports. UNK holds its first women's soccer game as the Lopers host Wayne State. The UNK and UNL volleyball season's will also get underway this weekend. Hastings College kicks off its football season on home on Thursday at 6pm versus Peru State and UNK begins things on the road on Saturday at Wayne State. On Thursday, Cozad and Gothenburg meet up on the softball diamond and Lexington begins things at GINW. On Friday week 0 games are set in high school football. A few area teams will be in action. On 93.1 KRVN FM we will have the Scottsbluff at Lexington game and on AM 880 KRVN it will be Cozad at Southern Valley. Of course we are always interested in your thoughts and input.
