Elmwood-Murdock Football

Elmwood-Murdock Football - Coaches Comments

The Lincoln Lutheran Warriors defeated the Elmwood-Murdock Knights 28 - 3 in a C-2 District II contest Friday night at Nebraska Wesleyan University.

The game was suspended at the end of the 3rd quarter due to lightning and heavy rain. Although everyone wanted to finish the game it was the right call for the safety of the players and fans. We put together some nice drives in the 1st half and were able to convert on some key 3rd and 4th down plays.

We were unable to finish the drives. Lincoln Lutheran has very good team speed and stopped us when they had to. Lutheran has a very explosive offense and our goal was to establish ball control and keep the ball away from them. We played fairly well until an error in the kicking game set up their second TD.

I thought our team played hard throughout the contest against a Top Ten team. The Knights have played four state-ranked teams in the last 6 games. The Knights host HTRS and take on the Titans in a Homecoming contest Friday night in Elmwood. Game time is 7:00 p.m.

‘Boeing Boeing’ Ready for Take Off at the Lofte Theatre!

Manley, NE [October 2, 2017] - The Lofte Community Theatre announces the opening of its Fall farce, Marc Camoletti’s fast-paced comedy, ‘Boeing Boeing!’ The production opens Saturday, October 14 on the Lofte’s main stage.

Set in the bustling1960s, Bernard is a swinging bachelor who has the world on a string: a flat in Paris and three gorgeous stewardesses whom are all engaged to him at the same time without knowing about each other. However, Bernard’s life encounters turbulence when his friend Robert comes for a visit and a new speedier Boeing jet throws off his carefully planned itinerary. Catastrophe looms when all three stewardesses come into town simultaneously and friend Robert keeps forgetting what helpful lies he’s told to whom!

Starring in the show as the troubled Bernard is Doug Rothgeb of Omaha. His best friend Robert is played by Robert Carrera of Bellevue. The bevy of beautiful stewardesses are played by Aubree Sweeney of Plattsmouth, Brenna Thompson of Lincoln and Abigail Fletcher of Omaha. Fan favorite Melinda Mead of Plattsmouth plays the bad-tempered housekeeper, Berthe.
