The South Sioux City Cardinals will challenge the Omaha North Vikings at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Omaha North). They claimed a resounding 57-0 win over Buena Vista on the road. Given the Vikings' advantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska football rankings (they are ranked 18th, while the Bison are ranked 114th), the result on Thursday wasn't entirely unexpected.
This is the second loss in a row for South Sioux City and nudges their season record down to 3-3. As for Omaha North, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 4-2.
South Sioux City was taken down by Omaha North 54-0 in their previous meeting back in September of 2015. Thankfully for South Sioux City, Milton Sargbah (who rushed for 172 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
