FINAL Norris 20 Crete 8 The Titans nearly won it in the fifth before a big surge from Crete, but Norris got the job done in the sixth after all. Norris improves to 5-0 to start the season! #nebpreps

Very excited to bring you some high school baseball this spring! Up first: a Southeast Nebraska showdown between Crete and Norris. First pitch next on @KUTT995 ! #nebpreps

Impressive win for Howells-Dodge, capping off a dominant run through the tournament with a wire to wire win - every game this week was decided by double digits. The Jaguars are state champions in D1! Thanks for listening with us on 94 Rock! #nebpreps

HALFTIME D1 Boys Basketball Championship: #1 Howells Dodge 27 #6 McCool Junction 18 Pretty comprehensive performance from the Jaguars so far. They’ve attacked the paint well and have never trailed. #nebpreps

Dakari Wilson ➡️ Uzziah Sanders for the bucket that set the stage. Then Makkiah Sanders ➡️ Uzziah Sanders for the slam to seal it. Lincoln Southwest wins its first boys basketball state title! My coverage for @NCNSports: #nebpreps 📰: southeast.newschannelnebraska.com/story/20622316…

Listening to the guys at Archangels Catholic talk about playing good defense was nearly as enjoyable as watching them execute that good defense. Some of my highlights from today's @nsaahome D2 championship game for @NCNSports: #nebpreps 📰: southeast.newschannelnebraska.com/story/20615770…

This tremendous season comes to a close. Norris is knocked out in the semifinal, 64-60, after an excellent effort from Scottsbluff. Pleasure to be part of the ride this season with the Titans. Thanks for listening all season on Ol’ Red! #nebpreps

HALFTIME: Scottsbluff 31 Norris 28 A needed pushback from Norris at the end of the half after Scottsbluff had pieced together its largest surge. Set for a fun second half at PBA! #nebpreps

One awesome Class B semifinal in the books - what does this one have in store? I’m joining @bartecki_jake for Norris vs. Scottsbluff next on @KUTT995 - the winner will play for a state title tomorrow night! #nebpreps

The Titans are through to the Class B final four! Norris survives a real battle against Bennington, and their quest for their first state title since 2003 continues into Friday night. @TitanHoops160 wins it 63-55 - thanks for listening on Ol’ Red! #nebpreps

HALFTIME: #2 Norris 33 #7 Bennington 23 Both teams shooting it at 48%, but Norris has been better on the offensive glass and in transition. #nebpreps

Two Class B quarterfinals complete, and now it’s time for one of the class’ top teams to take center stage. The Norris Titans are no doubt one of the title favorites in 2026, and they’re coming up next. Norris vs. Bennington at 6 on Ol’ Red! #nebpreps

Deshler’s dreams dashed. The Dragons’ record year comes to an end in the state quarterfinals as GACC pulls out a 54-50 win in a game that was tight the entire way. Well done by this group of Deshler seniors for getting back to this stage, and thanks for listening! #nebpreps

HALFTIME: #4 Deshler 21 #5 GACC 21 Easton Nash sets up Carson Sieber for an inbounds bucket at the buzzer to even the score at the intermission. #nebpreps

State tournament basketball take two! Welcome back to Lincoln - it’s Deshler’s first trip here in almost two decades, and they hope their title dreams remain intact into the weekend. #4 Deshler vs. #5 GACC in a D2 Quarterfinal - next on Ol’ Red! #nebpreps
