But this is how he’ll be remembered - passionate, fiery, and a man who loved his players & students.
Keeping the Gretna community in our thoughts & prayers today.

Merritt Beason has no regrets about her decision to come to Nebraska. A leader through and through - even after a tough loss.
"Obviously it sucks right now to be in this position, but I'm just so grateful to be here and grateful to be part of this team b/c it was so special."
Matt Rhule, speaking this morning at the capitol building, discussed his experience with the court storm following

LB Damian Jackson is in Omaha to accept the 2021 Armed Forces Merit Award. He’s the 1st player from the B1G to receive the honor.
NSAA banning wrestlers from celebrating with a backflip is not the right direction to take the sport in.
Let the kids enjoy the moment - they've more than earned it.
And I'd backflip too if I had the athletic ability to do so!

Yes, girls are going to continue to wrestle at the state championships the same time as the boys.
They DESERVE to be on the same stage as the boys.

They're not going to do this every year are they? Just this year because it's the first year? I mean I don't tune into the state football championship to watch volleyball

Cedar Catholic sophomore Carson Noecker set the Class C Boys 3200m state record with a time of 9:24.56, beating the record from 1982.
Even more impressive? The sophomore congratulated every other runner as they finished, down to the last one. A true champion.
