Go! Bison GO!

Yea! Team!
The 'Crimson and Cream' have, amazingly, done it again!
.
McCook Senior High School's football team, The Bison, (12-0) are contenders for the Nebraska Class-B state championship!
.
What an accomplishment! FOUR straight trips to the big game!!!? Their accumalative record over those passing four seasons, now stands at 51 to 1. UNDEFEATED, save for one match-up in four years! And what a match up that was; the 1 loss came in the last 15 seconds of a barn-burner of a game -in last year's state Class-B title match!
.
The team has had to over come great tragedy, injuries, and tough opponents - to reach championship, in this season's journey to Lincoln.
(ALL High school state championship games are played out on the most famous football field in the state of Nebraska - the legendary Memorial Stadium, down east, in Lincoln. - Home of the Huskers!)
This year's trip has the feel of an against the odds scenario for the McCook Bison football team. They first had to over come the tragic, accidental death of a beloved assistant coach, coach Ron Coleman - a far reaching loss impacting many, many, many individuals within the community. Then, during the opening game of the year - the Bison lost two of the best players in the state, Brendan Liess and Jeff Klug, to injuries. They lost several other key players to injuries, including a defensive tackle, J.D. Stone, and his back-up, Daniel Schaffert.
Stone has returned for the final few games of the season, but the injuries have taxed the Bison's team and tested their depth.
They've overcome so much, those kids have worked their tails off. And, that coaching staff, the job they have continually done is unbelievably good and straight-forward... to championship they ALL go.
Yea, TEAM!
