A battle for Nebraska high school football supremacy is about to ignite tonight, October 23, as the undefeated, No. 1 ranked Millard South Patriots host the equally undefeated, No. 2 ranked Omaha Westside Warriors in a Class A showdown. Both powerhouses roll into this contest with perfect 8-0 records, and the winner snags major seeding advantage for the Nebraska high school playoffs.
Millard South’s Offensive Juggernaut
Millard South is absolutely tearing it up. They are ranked No. 1 in Class A by News Channel Nebraska, and for good reason. These guys have scored a staggering 399 points in just eight games, averaging nearly 50 points per contest! Their defense has been just as lights-out recently, allowing only seven points combined over their last three victories. Talk about locking it down! Their last three wins include a ridiculous 65-0 shutout over Lincoln East on October 15, part of a combined 187-7 beatdown. Leading the charge is five-star quarterback Trae Taylor, a Nebraska commit, who has already fired off 31 touchdown passes. This kid is straight up dominant.
Westside’s Relentless Attack and Defensive Grit
Don’t sleep on Omaha Westside, though. They are also 8-0 and ranked No. 2, matching Millard South’s perfect record. The Warriors have actually outscored Millard South this season, putting up 409 points while giving up just 92. That’s an average of more than 51 points per game. Their offense is powered by four-star quarterback Braylen Warren, committed to Missouri, and a brutal rushing attack led by Tay Tay Jenkins. Westside is coming off a 49-7 victory over Papillion-La Vista South on October 16, and their defense has been stifling, giving up only seven points across their last two wins.
The Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher
This isn’t just a regular season game, folks. Both teams have already locked up playoff berths, which is huge, but tonight’s winner will secure at least the No. 2 seed in the Class A playoff bracket. More importantly, they’ll have a shot at claiming the top overall seed. We’re talking about two of the state’s most explosive offenses going head-to-head, with Westside averaging 51.1 points per game and Millard South right there with 49.9. This game is going to be an absolute fireworks show, and with so much on the line for playoff positioning, every single snap will count. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. CT tonight at Millard South High School. You absolutely don’t want to miss this one, this is what high school football is all about!
