Friday, Nov. 13 matchups
Bennington at Omaha Westside
7:00 PM CT. No. 4 Bennington beat Elkhorn South 42–14. No. 1 Omaha Westside beat Papillion-La Vista 35–0.
Westside's 35–0 quarterfinal was one of two shutouts in the class. Bennington scored 42 against Elkhorn South, so the question is whether it can turn possessions into touchdowns against a defense that allowed none last week.
Millard North at Millard South
7:00 PM CT. No. 3 Millard North beat Omaha North 21–0. No. 2 Millard South beat Papillion-La Vista South 41–7.
Millard North held Omaha North scoreless, while Millard South scored 41 against Papillion-La Vista South. Watch whether the Mustangs can keep the score within one possession and make South play from a tighter margin.
