LINCOLN – One by one the Central City players had their medals put around their necks, followed by a hug from coach Troy Huebert. The medals were silver and not gold, like the Bison had hoped. “I can’t say enough about our kids. Our commitment from day one when we met this summer and the buy into our vision, we knew we could get here,” Huebert said. “That was our goal coming into the season and we felt like we had the kids to do that. Our senior leadership was phenomenal.” Central City's Jakob Ruhl (21) recovers a tipped pass in the first quarter of the Class C-1 championship game Tuesday at Memorial Stadium. Wahoo defeated Central City 47-7 in the Class C-1 state championship at Memorial Stadium. It was Central City’s first-ever appearance in the state championship and Wahoo’s first title since 2019. The season was historic for Central City despite the loss. It started the year by announcing itself with a 48-20 win at Ord. In week five Central City beat Adams Central which hadn’t been done in over 30 years. Then in week nine the Bison beat Aurora for the first time since 1997. In that game, Central City junior running back Corbin Kyes ran for 433 yards and six touchdowns. While the loss may sting now, it was a remarkable season. The fans came out in support and filled the bleachers at Memorial Stadium like it had all season in Central City. Central City's Parker Zikmund (7) reacts after Wahoo make an interception in the second quarter of the Class C-1 championship game Tuesday at Memorial Stadium. Central City fell to Wahoo 47-7. “I can’t say enough about our community and our fans,” Huebert said. “They love Central City athletics and it’s just so awesome to give them something to cheer about.” Central City came into the game averaging 41.3 points per game and Wahoo, who’s closest game all season was decided by 14 points, was averaging 50.3 points per game. Yet after the first quarter the score was scoreless and Central City’s defense swarmed the explosive Wahoo run game. In the second quarter Wahoo got on the board and at halftime it led 14-0. “The first half we were phenomenal on defense. We had a couple 50-50 calls that didn’t go our way, and put our defense in some tough spots and they rose up,” Huebert said. “I can’t say enough about them. Unfortunately we just could never get a rhythm on offense.” Wahoo's Landon Fye (2) defends Central City's Wyatt Dent (13) as he tries to catch a pass in the first quarter of the Class C-1 championship game Tuesday at Memorial Stadium. Kyes got hurt in the second quarter and his game was done. He finished a big year with 1,997 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns on the ground. As good as the Warriors offense was, it was the defense that came up big. Central City quarterback Parker Zikmund threw seven interceptions with some going through the hands of receivers and Wahoo recovered a fumble. The Wahoo offense came alive in the second half. It scored first, less than two minutes into the half on a 6-yard run by Kip Brigham, who ran for 133 yards. Central City scored its only points in the third quarter when Zikmund found Turner Hanke, who found a small seam in the Warrior defense and busted loose for an 87-yard touchdown. Central City's Truman Ryan (18) tackles Wahoo's Landon Fye (2) in the first quarter of the Class C-1 championship game Tuesday at Memorial Stadium. Then the floodgates opened and the Warriors scored 27 unanswered points. The Bison senior class was 14 deep. It was part of the team that played in a home playoff game for the first time since 2015 and beat Fort Calhoun 49-14. In the next two rounds Central City beat two previously undefeated teams, Columbus Lakeview (19-7) and Sidney (29-12) to make the state championship game. It just couldn’t knock off one more undefeated team in Wahoo, who’d been atop the Class C-1 Omaha World-Herald and Lincoln Journal-Star rankings all season long. “Just a tremendous senior group. Can’t say enough about those guys in Colter Leuders and Bryce Kunz, those guys have started four years for us,” Huebert said. “We’ve just had such great leadership on and off the field, the way they carry themselves, the way they get us prepared for practice, it’s really a special group.” The Bison reached the mountaintop for the first time ever, just didn’t come back with the trophy. But the foundation is set for another run, and the program is in good hands. “Now we’ve finally been here and this is only going to motivate us more to get back to this sport and hopefully finish it off next time,” Huebert said.

TORONTO – The co-founders of two of Canada’s top artificial intelligence firms say companies in the country are buzzing with excitement around the technology but turning that enthusiasm into products and tools takes too long. Cohere co-founder Nick Frosst says he has grown used to being approached by Canadian firms wanting to work with AI but they’re slow to actually implement the technology. Frosst says it is hard to pinpoint where that lack of urgency comes from but he thinks part of it is embedded in Canada’s culture. Nicole Janssen, the co-founder of AltaML, has had a similar experience. She says it takes 18 months for companies reaching out to her business to commit to using AI and then another 18 months to start doing something with it.
