In college football, Nebraska is a
powerhouse. Over the last two decades
the Cornhuskcrs have been one of the
most dominating major college teams,
winning two national championsips
and almost always finishing in the top
10.
Omaha Creighton Prep is to Nebraksa
high school football what the Huskers
are to college football. Every year, it
seems, Prep is in the hunt for the high
school state football championship.
Since 1975, when the Nebraska School
Activities Association first set up the
high school playoff system, the Junior

Jays have been in the playoffs every
year except the first year, when they
just missed with a 9-2 record.
After missing the playoffs in 1975,
Prep has made 10 consecutive playoff
appearances and has won the state
crown three times. During that span
Creighton Prep has been Nebraska's
only Class A school not to have at least
one losing season.
How does a school remain so suc
cessful? Half the battle is getting good ath
letes to come to the school. Nebraska
does it by recruiting, Prep does it with
tradition. Parents want their boys to be
'Wo have had a long
history of success
at Prep. The kids
are smart, they're
good athletes and
they come in ex
pecting to win.1

a part of Prep's tradition, and they are
willing to pay the $2,000 yearly tuition
to do it.
"We have had a long history of suc
cess at Prep," football coach Tom
Jaworski said. "The kids are smart,
they're good athletes and they come in
expecting to win."
The other half of the recipe for suc
cess is developing the athletes once
they come. The Huskers have their
experienced coaching staff and their
famous weight program to Improve
players, and so does Creighton Prep.
"We have excellent facilities," Ja
worski said. "We have a beautiful
weight room. We may have an advan
tage over some of the smaller schools in
terms of facilities."
Jaworski said that players who come
from Prep, a school of 920 boys, have
more than just an excellent athletic
background.
"They come from a good academic
school," he said. "We're like Nebraska
in that regard."
Unsurprisingly, several Creighton
Prep players have played at Nebraska.
After last year's Prep team won the
state championship with a 12-0 record,
four players signed with the Huskers.
"We had an excellent football team
last year, and they were four of the
best," Jaworski said.
The four, all walk-ons, are kicker
Gregg Barrios, linebackers Mark Hagge
and Scott Kurtz and defensive end Joe
Spitzenberger.
They've already made their mark in
Lincoln. Barrios has seen extensive

an extra point in the Huskers' 4817
victory over Missouri.
Hagge leads the 2-1 Nebraska fresh

added 14.
And the tradition continues at Prep.
This year's squad is offto a 7-0 start and

a No. 1 ranking in the state. Creighton
Prep is also ranked as one of the top 10
high school football teams in the nation
by USA Today.
Prep running backs George Achola,
who is averaging eight yards a carry,
and Ricky Davis have already been
named to Athlon Magazine's Big Eight
Elite High School 1 1 list of "blue chip"
players in the Big Eight area.
Other players mentioned as possible
college prospects are tight end Dan
Lohmeier and defensive ends Bud Sachs
and Daryl Liese.
Jaworski said that all the players
being recruited are giving Nebraska
some thought.
"I'm sure they're all considering
Nebraska," he said. "Nebraska is very
high on their lists."
