This weekend's Nebraska high school football schedule is headlined by No. 15 Lincoln East's road trip to No. 20 Lincoln Southeast as the NSAA state football playoffs will be in full swing in all classes Friday. The Spartans and the Knights met in early September with Lincoln East rallying for a 31-28 double overtime win.
Trailing 14-0 in the fourth quarter, Jeter Worthley and Owen Laessing hooked up for a touchdown, Dash Bauman broke lose for a 19-yard scoring run and then reached the end zone following Noah Burhoop's interception to put the Spartans up 21-14. The Knights rallied with Cash Buettenback's score, but fell short in OT.
Lincoln Southeast (6-3) takes a four game winning streak into its first round matchup with the Spartans (6-3) after outscoring its opposition 269-183 during regular season play. Lincoln East, meanwhile, dropped a 31-14 decision to Gretna last weekend and outscored nine foes by an average of 33-21.
