Full Stream Ahead: 09.08.2023

Another big Friday of football across the state and so today, we debut a new page for you to help find the top streaming games in the state. We’ll call it Full Stream Ahead, unless you have a better idea. Then, hit us up on Twitter and we’ll consider all the good ones.

Our plan here? Each week, we’ll try to find the five best games of the week that you can watch on your phone, on your laptop, on the television, however you want to do it.

This is also, your public service announcement not to click on those silly imposter Facebook links. Our good friends have just released a member school streaming directory as well this year, so you don’t fall victim. You can bookmark this, but we’ll include it each week as well.

Let’s get you some games for Week Three of the Nebraska prep season.

Class A, No. 1 Omaha Westside (2-0) at Class A, No. 8 Bellevue West (2-1): Look, the stars will shine bright here. Benning and Rezac and Ross. Kaelin and McMorris and Hall. It’s the Mike Sautter, Pinnacle Bank Game-of-the-Week as well as the Hudl National “Must See” Matchup. A billing it deserves. LIVE on HUDL (free with HUDL account).

Class C-1, No. 4 Ashland-Greenwood (1-1) at Class C-1, No. 5 Aurora (1-1): Amazingly, one of these teams — both legitimate title contenders — will be 1-2 on Friday night. The Bluejays are coming off a loss to Wahoo, now 2nd in the Class C-1 coaches polls and the Huskies are looking at bounce back from a 42-7 loss to top-ranked Boone Central last week. We will have our Friday Night Drive coverage powered by Tom Dinsdale Automotive from Aurora. AURORA STRIV

Class B, No. 1 Bennington (2-0) at Class B, No. 6 York (2-0): Coach Cam Lenhart’s Badgers bring a 28-game winning streak to East Hill Park to face a York defense that has not allowed a point in their first two games. But the competition ramps up on Friday for the Dukes. YORK STRIV

Class C-2, No. 6 Malcolm (2-0) at Class C-2, No. 5 Oakland-Craig (1-1): The sixth-ranked Clippers have a 34 -28 win over No. 8 Yutan in their opener, while on the same night O-C lost to defending champion and top-ranked Norfolk Catholic. Two talented quarterbacks in this one — Maddox Meyer for Malcolm and Braden Anderson for O-C. The Knights may also have one of the top players in the class in JT Brands. OAKLAND-CRAIG STRIV

Class D-1, No. 4 Exeter-Milligan/Friend at Sandy Creek (RV): Two unbeatens meet on Highway 14 in what might be the biggest Sandy Creek game in their short 8-man history. Quarterback Ethan Shaw has led a solid offensive Cougar attack, while tailback Breckan Schluter is averaging 233 yards per game on the ground for the Timberwolves who beat defending champion Clarkson/Leigh on opening night. SANDY CREEK STRIV

Those are just a few we will be tracking for our Saturday newsletter. You can get the full Striv schedule here and all of the Hudl games here.
