One impressive marathon scoring drive for Doane, but four straight scoring drives ending in Brodey Johnson passing touchdowns for Midland have made the difference.

It’s time for a playoff football game that we are extremely excited for!

A tough finish after a great semifinal battle for Thayer Central.

The Titans save four match points but can’t save a fifth, and GACC pulls off the win in four sets (25-22, 22-25, 25-15, 26-24).

Thayer Central will play for third place tomorrow.

Ready for a state volleyball semifinal!

It’s Thayer Central vs GACC live from PBA!

#nebpreps

[Tim Hackett @tdhackett91]

A great effort from the Trojans comes up a little short.

Multiple match points saved in set three in a much improved showing from the Trojans, but Amherst was too much today (25-17, 25-12, 30-28).

Tri County, they’ll play in the D1 3rd place match tomorrow.

#nebpreps

[Tim Hackett @tdhackett91]

Thayer Central prevails in a tight contest!

After four close sets it’s the top-seeded Titans that end up on top.

(26-24, 22-25, 25-20, 25-22)
Thayer Central is on to the C2 semifinal Friday afternoon!

[Tim Hackett @tdhackett91]

Ready for state tournament volleyball!

Thayer Central is the #1 seed in C2 and primed for a shot at their first volleyball state title in team history!

TRI COUNTY WINS A THRILLER!

What a rally, what a match! The Trojans win set five 16-14 after the longest rally of the match, and TC wins the final three sets to hand Bloomfield their first loss of the season.

Tri County is on to the D1 semifinal tomorrow morning!

Good energy and high excitement ultimately gave way to disappointment Tuesday for a strong group of Osborn supporters that stuck around past midnight but then saw their candidate essentially wave the white flag after a very competitive race.

The energy continues to rise inside the Scott Conference Center at Dan Osborn’s election night watch party. Here’s the latest on Nebraska’s U.S. Senate race.

A couple of clips from my footage of Dan Osborn’s not-quite-a-concession speech, where he thanked his team and supporters from across the state and implored Pete Ricketts to work to represent everyone, including those in Osborn’s Omaha room.

#Elections2026

[News Channel Nebraska @NewsChannelNE]

"What we did here in Nebraska is nothing short of special."

Speaking just before midnight, Dan Osborn acknowledged he had a very small chance of winning his U.S. Senate race against Pete Ricketts, but vowed to "continue inspiring people throughout the country."

#Elections2026

[Tim Hackett @tdhackett91]

Chants of “Let’s go Dan!” Ring out as Osborn appears for the first time tonight, shortly before midnight, to acknowledge that his chances of winning this race, at this point, are very small.

Checking in from the Scott Conference Center on the campus of UNO, the Dan Osborn HQ tonight at the culmination of his campaign against incumbent US Senator Pete Ricketts.

I’ll have updates throughout the night here and on @NewsChannelNE.

Biggest cheers of the night have come when networks projected two wins for Texas Democrats in a row - James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa.

As far as this race - we are still no closer to a final result. Latest results played in house show Osborn ahead by just 6,000 votes.

[Tim Hackett @tdhackett91]

No news here from Osborn HQ in Omaha - the race remains extremely close as we get close to 11:30 PM local time.

The Osborn camp believes the early results have followed the trend they expected, but they also believe there are still plenty of votes left to count.

FINAL

Concordia 45
Doane 17

A season best performance for Doane on offense (475 yards) anchored by career games from Cannon Crowder (308 passing, 107 rushing) and Trent DePompa (5-145-TD), but it was not enough to keep pace with Concordia today.
