Excitement Builds as Nebraska High School Football Coaches Poll Unveils Week One Rankings for 2025 Season

As the summer sun begins to fade, the smell of freshly cut grass and the sound of pads popping fills the air across Nebraska. Yes, it’s football season, and everyone is buzzing with excitement! This past week saw the release of the Nebraska High School Football Coaches Poll Rankings after an intense first week of the 2025 season. With high hopes and competitive spirit, let’s dive into how each class stacks up after the first few games!

Class A: The Big Boys Take Charge

In Class A, the competition is hotter than ever. Undefeated and holding strong at the top is Millard South with a perfect 2-0 record, maintaining their previous rank. Not too far behind, Omaha Westside and Elkhorn South also stand firm at numbers two and three, respectively. Both teams have also snagged two wins without any losses.

Biggest news? Lincoln Southeast has jumped up from seventh to sixth after two impressive wins, while Kearney makes a remarkable leap from ninth to seventh, finally showing the strength expected of them. However, Bellvue West is feeling the heat as they have slipped from sixth to ninth, starting the season at 0-2. A giant early-season shocker!

Class B: Who’s in the Driver’s Seat?

Sliding into Class B, it’s all about Elkhorn North, who retains their number one spot with two wins under their belt. Following closely is Waverly, who has jumped from third to second, accompanied by Norris at number three. It seems to be a makeshift shuffle, with teams moving up and down based on performance. Scottsbluff has made a noticeable climb from eighth to sixth, giving fans something to cheer for.

On the contrary, Seward is struggling out of the gate, dropping from ninth to tenth after starting the season with two losses, and Gretna is trying to regain its footing after slipping down the ranks.

Class C1: Wahoo’s Winning Streak

Looking towards Class C1, Wahoo continues to reign supreme, sitting comfortably in the number one position after two victories. Central City is right behind them, holding onto the second position. It’s exciting to see O’Neill move up to seventh and Mount Michael Benedictine debuting mysteriously in ninth place, surprising everyone after starting from no ranking at all!

Class C2: Bishop Neumann Holds Steady

In Class C2, Bishop Neumann remains solid at the top with a flawless 2-0 record. Hartington Cedar Catholic and Kearney Catholic round out the top three slots. Meanwhile, Boone Central is having a tougher time, stuck at the bottom of the list with two losses, while Ord also needs to step it up after dropping to ninth place.

Class D1: Under the Radar

For Class D1, we have Dundy County Stratton, who elegantly strides into the number one spot, thanks to their impressive performance. Johnson-Brock has also made a notable leap up on the list, now positioned at eighth!

Class D2: Sticking with Tradition

In D2 play, Central Valley is continuing to shine bright in their top spot, showing no signs of slowing down. Archangels Catholic and St. Mary’s follow close behind, proving they are in it to win it!

Class 8-Man: Quick Strikes

Wrapping things up, we cannot forget about the heart-pounding action occurring in the Class 8-Man rankings. Stuart keeps their number one position intact, while Garden County continues to challenge vigorously.

With many more weeks of football left to play, anything can happen in the world of high school football. Get your jerseys ready and keep those cheers loud; it’s going to be an exciting season ahead!
