The Heartland Huskies hosted the opening round of the Class D-1 State Football Playoffs for the second year in a row last night. Despite the forecast calling for the wind to calm down by game time the Huskies held strong on defense in the cold conditions and got their offense going in the second quarter. The undefeated Huskies (9-0) advanced by defeating the Lourdes CC Knights (4-5) by the score of 74-6.
Heartland will move on to the second round and will travel to play the Clarkson/Leigh Patriots on Wednesday November 5th at 6pm in Leigh, Nebraska.
