Football Preview: Milan Wildcats vs. North Platte Panthers

Suggested Video

Milan is on a eight-game streak of home wins (dating back to last season), while North Platte is on a four-game streak of away wins (also dating back to last season): one of those streaks is about to end. The Milan Wildcats will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the North Platte Panthers at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Milan is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They took a 36-29 hit to the loss column at the hands of South Harrison on Friday.

Meanwhile, North Platte came up short against Butler on Friday and fell 30-20.

Although North Platte took the loss, they still got scores from Caleb Wright, Dylan Armstrong, and Logan Manville.

Milan suffered a grim 54-34 defeat to North Platte in their previous meeting back in November of 2023. Thankfully for Milan, Colton Kirkham (who rushed for 207 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per carry, and also threw for 160 yards and a touchdown on only ten passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
