A good friend shared this with me. It’s the truth. The last high school football game is always different. Kids play basketball again. They play golf or baseball. They wrestle around. They run and race.
They never put a helmet and shoulder pads on again once it’s over.
We really enjoyed having
@CoachMattRhule

@HuskerFootball
on campus this morning to visit. Two really genuine and sincere men. We hope you enjoyed your visit to campus....and we hope Black Sheep Coffee was everything you hoped it would be!

QB Jared Kuhl broke the school record for passing yards in a career during tonight's win. The previous record was held by Adam Urich (2,833 yards from 1994-1996). Jared's current unofficial total is 2,997 and counting. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Aurora 58, Platteview 6. Not a great night on the field, but I’m proud of the type of kids we have. Walk into the locker room and it’s spotless before we hit the road.
We are at 1/3 mark of the the regular season. I'm proud of the day by day approach we've have taken. 3-0 is a big deal for us, especially with the schedule gauntlet we run during the last 6 weeks. We haven't been 3-0 since the 1980's and haven't won 3 straight games since 2012
It has been a busy two weeks at Platteview High School. We appreciate programs stopping in Springfield to visit our players, talk about our program, and build some relationships.

So many people make Friday nights special. The Band...and they were rocking tonight. The student section-also rocking tonight. The chain gang. The statisticians. The PA. The admin. The cheerleaders. The dance team. The color guard. Pretty awesome when it all clicks.
Our season ends at 6-4 with losses to teams that are a combined 34-6. Aurora is 10-0 in quarterfinals. A-G is 9-1 in quarterfinals. Adams Central is 8-2 in quarterfinals. Roncalli finished 7-3 with a loss to Lincoln Christian (8-2) in opening round. A team we beat 21-7.
Jim Jenson was a phenomenal man. Our program is proud to recognize his service in Vietnam, his fight against pancreatic cancer (purple ribbon), and his devotion to his community and family. These memorial helmet stickers will serve as a small tribute to a larger than life man.
Shoutout to our very own Kayden Wallis-Collier for being selected to play in the 63rd
@NEShrineBowl
. We are thankful that he will be representing our program.
@KaydenWallis
Our kids have been hard at work in the weight room, on the field, and in the community. We had 86 youth participants at our free camp last week. This week we’ve been assisting the custodial staff moving the old elementary to the new building. Our kids make me proud.

(3 of 3) A special thank you to our 23 seniors. They won more games than any class in the last decade. Several playmakers on the field, several men I hope my two boys grow up to be just like.
Tonight was a special night at Salberg Field. The JV team won a double overtime game 19-16 to close out their season. They finished 8-1 on the year. It was a fantastic game, and a fitting tribute to Coach Salberg. There was some magic in the air, for sure.
On behalf of Alumni & Friends, we would like to express our sincere sympathy as our community has lost a great teacher, coach, mentor, and friend! Coach Salberg, we will forever celebrate your legacy!
(1 of 3) We finished our season last night with a strong effort against the
#1
team in the state. Our 5-4 record put us 17th in power points…1 spot away from qualifying. We played 4 of the 16 teams that qualified (25%). We beat 1, had a halftime lead on 1, and were a few plays
Big thank you to the 76 upcoming Kindergarten-6th graders that spent the last two evenings with us at Mini Trojan camp. We are looking forward to seeing you in the fall. Best of luck as you begin your seasons with the youth program.
Our Strength/Speed coach is unreal good.
Work ethic = ⛰
Knowledge base = 👨🎓
Relationship with kids = 🎯
Results he is generating = 🔥
His name isn’t on the program for our athletic teams, but he is a big piece of the success we have.
Thanks

In case you missed it,
@tanner_millikan
led the Dordt Defenders in tackles on Saturday. That happened a time or two (or 20) when he was wearing the red and white. Proud of you!
I love everything about this. Anthony is an example of someone that treats people how they should be treated. He supports students, staff, and teammates in all that they do. Our program, and school, is better because he is part of it.
Our program couldn’t be more proud of
@reed_patera42
. Wishing him the best of luck today as he begins his final state wrestling tournament. Have a weekend, kid.
🏅 🤼 🎯 🩸 😓 😭
We are excited to welcome
@CoachDorn95
to our coaching staff. Spencer has diverse experiences in coaching including stops at Freeman, GICC, Gibbon, Shawnee Mission North, and South Dakota State. He's worked with numerous position groups and can serve various roles on staff.
Happy 10th birthday to our tee-retriever. Now that he is double digits we will expect a more “Hawk” like performance when gathering the tee from field.
We are proud to announce that two of our captains for the 2024 season have been selected by their teammates. We are fortunate to have the leadership that

-Entire starting offense
-Entire starting defense
-Every rushing yard gained (1674)

-Every receiving yard gained
-601 of 623 total tackles recorded
Answer- Done by multi-sport athletes.
Two of the best to ever wear our helmet will get one more chance to put it on-June 3rd. Congrats
@jared_kuhl
and
@EzraStewart0
. You earned this. Also excited to have
@NicktoriousB1G
and
@CoachKuhl
on the sideline. Two fantastic coaches.
Our JV/Reserve season kicks off tomorrow, followed by the Varsity on Friday. Our coaching staff can’t express how thankful we are for the women in our lives. They work full time, support our team, and still manage to make the family go. They are magicians. We love them.
Huskerland has released their All-State team. Congratulations to
@jared_kuhl
for his selection as a 1st team All-State player. Thanks to
@HuskerlandBob
for all of his work covering our sport, team, and athletes.
🚨Feature Coming This Week🚨 Coming up on his 3rd year as starting QB. Dual threat kid that can sling it or tuck it and go at any time. Jared Kuhl from Platteview.

Trojan class of 2020- The lights at Salberg Field went on at 20:20 (8:20PM) tonight, Thursday, April 9th. They stayed lit for 20 minutes to show you that we are thinking of you. You are in our hearts. We miss you! Stay driven!

Our program is fortunate to have a senior class of 23 players willing to do whatever they can to help the team. We have 10-12 that don't start and probably won't ever have their name in the paper. They play their tails off on special teams and scout team. They make us better.
Leo wins 2-0. That puts 8 Trojans in Omaha next weekend.
On a side note, something this coach noticed is that Anthony Scala did not qualify, but he was in the corner for every one of our kids in the blood round cheering hard. I want that kid on my team every time.
Congratulations are in order for the JV/Reserve team(s). They played their final game of the season tonight. A 20-14 wrapped up a 5-2 season. Awesome job!
How about
@PlatteviewCheer
? Road trip to Aurora-No problem. Road trip to Hastings- see you there. Road trip to Falls City- sign em up. They never miss. Unreal commitment from fantastic young women, led by terrific women. Thank you for your never ending work.
Our guy
@Dezmondst
has his record breaking ball. Most receptions in a career (76), breaking the record set by
@EzraStewart0
as he wrapped up his career last year (75). Proud of you, Dez.
You can see him play one more time in the Shrine Bowl at UNK on 6/1/24. He’s a great player
Shoutout to our 16 senior graduates today. 🎓 🏈 🎓 🏈. Excited to see what the future holds for each of you. Come see us when you can. You’ll always be welcome on our sideline.

Big thank you to
@CoachHuebertII
and the Central City Bison FB program for allowing our coaching staff to spend some time with them today. Some great stuff. And the facilities are unreal good!
