Crete will look to defend their home turf on Friday against Plattsmouth at 7:00 PM. It might come down to the wire as the MaxPreps state rankings project a close game.
The match between Crete and Norris last week was not a total blowout, but with Crete falling 13-30, it was darn close. Crete got a solid performance out of junior Zach Fye, who passed for 193 yards and 2 touchdowns; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win.
Meanwhile, Plattsmouth had a bit more than a touchdown to spare in a 17-7 victory over Beatrice.
Plattsmouth's victory lifted them to 1-1 while Crete's loss dropped them down to 1-1. In their victory, Plattsmouth relied heavily on junior Connor Pohlmeier, who rushed for 168 yards and 2 touchdowns; a key strategy for Crete will lie in finding a way to minimize his impact.
