Elmwood-Murdock Football

The Wilber-Clatonia Wolverines defeated the Elmwood-Murdock Knights 29-0 last Friday night in Elmwood.  

The Wolverines are the defending state champions and entered the contest ranked #5 in C-2.  Wilber-Clatonia has a solid football team.  They are athletic and have good team speed.  Our goal was to make them earn everything and not give up the big play.  Other than a turnover in the 1st quarter and a long pass late in the 4th quarter the Knights were able to slow done Wilber-Clatonia throughout the 2nd and 3rd quarters.  We had a couple nice drives on offense but could not get the big play we needed.  Credit Wilber-Clatonia.  They play off blocks well and it was difficult to get to the perimeter.  

We had a couple seams open up but they closed quickly.  

The Knights travel to Palmyra Friday night.  Game time is 7:00 p.m.If you can't make it to the game watch it LIVE STREAMING on the Elmwood-Murdock Striv Channel.

Every varsity home football and volleyball game can be watched anywhere in the world. So tell your family, friends, and alumni.

Husker Fans Salute the Troops 2017

 Husker Fans Salute the Troops 2017 –  The mission is to salute Nebraska Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines: active duty, national guard, reserve, retired and veterans, to say “Thank you for your service to our Nation” so they know the Husker Nation will never forget their sacrifice and dedication.

This is an unprecedented event in the history of military support to the Armed Forces.  This weekend hosts troops and their families from all services, of all ranks, to come together and cheer on their team as they play Purdue on October 28th, 2017.  

This weekend is more than just a watch party, though.  It is a chance for these servicemen and women to be treated like the heroes they are with an all access, private tour of Memorial Stadium and a brunch in their honor.

2017 marks the tenth year for this event.  2008 was the first year held during the OU game and attended by about 70 troopers and their families. Since then we have had to limit our attendance as it has grown to nearly 500 attendees. Each year we try to improve the troopers experience and being our tenth year we are expecting this to be the best.

Registration for the 10th annual Husker Fans Salute the Troops is now open to first-time attendees --http://www.huskersalute.org/.
