D3 No. 1 Rossville (9-0) vs. D4 No. 2 Nemaha Central (7-2)
Last week: Rossville defeated D4 No. 4 Republic County, 56-0, and Nemaha Central defeated D3 No. 3 Pleasant Ridge, 48-14
Nemaha Central runs a 20 personnel offense that looks to establish run, with Rossville head coach Derick Hammes saying he was impressed with their running back and offensive line.
Defensively, Rossville will be facing a 3-3 stack defense that has the ability to give teams multiple looks.
"My assessment is, this is the strength of their football team," said Hammes. "Their size and length pops, they're active and they get to the ball. Just a good defensive football team from that perspective. Physically they can control the line of scrimmage and have a good core of linebackers that run to the ball."
Keys to the game from Hammes: Like any playoff football game, if you don’t win turnovers, taking care of the football is imperative and being able to handle the multiple looks they can give us. The preparation part this week will be big for us to block multiple fronts and pick up blitzes. They're pretty unique in how they can do that in comparison to what we've seen this year."
