The Wynot Blue Devils will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Creighton Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Wynot is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They lost 36-12 to Crofton on Friday. The Blue Devils were down 30-6 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Although Wynot took the loss, they still got scores from Andrew Haberman and Lane Heimes.
Meanwhile, Creighton took care of business in their home opener on Friday (and then some). They took their game at home with ease, bagging a 58-16 victory over Niobrara/Verdigre.
Creighton relied on the efforts of Taylor Nilson, who rushed for 181 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 carries, and Jorgan Condon, who gained 204 total yards and three touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Creighton was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 440 total yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Niobrara/Verdigre only gained 190.
Creighton's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Calvin Wilmes and Nilson.
Everything came up roses for Wynot against Creighton when the teams last played back in September of 2023 as the team secured a 54-14 win. In that contest, Wynot amassed a halftime lead of 46-6, an impressive feat they'll look to repeat on Friday.
