Chasing perfection

Cedar Catholic tosses a playoff quarterfinal shut out HARTINGTON — Cedar Catholic faced its biggest challenge of the season Friday night. The undefeated Trojans hosted the undefeated Boone Central Cardinals in a Class C2 playoff quarterfinal game. The game looked to be a real battle with both teams averaging over 40 points per game. When the dust settled, the night had gone just as so many before them have this season — with Cedar cruising to an easy victory. The Trojans decisive 42-0 win over Boone Central propels them into this week’s state semifinal game with Gothenburg. The winner will then play for the C2 State title Nov. 24 at Memorial Stadium on the University of Nebraska Lincoln campus. The win gave Cedar Catholic its first 11-win season in school history, moving the 2026 team ahead of some of the best teams to ever step on the field at Cedar. The Trojans got on the board quickly against the Cardinals.
