Lance Thorell of Loomis made the Omaha World-Herald and Lincoln Journal Star's first team in basketball in D-1. He has had a sensational career and next will be track where he will defend winning the hurdles last year. This fall Lance will walkon at NU in football.
John Goodwin was placed on the second team in Class B in both papers. The Holdrege Dusters will miss his talent and leadership next year. He was also an all-state QB.
The NU women will play today against Temple. Should be a great game. The winner plays the #1 team in the nation, Duke. The fourth leading score of all-time for the Huskers is Kiera Hardy who has 1907 points. Karen Jennings is the all-time leading score with 2405 points.
Twenty years ago Moe Iba resigned as NU BB coach after losing in the first round of the NCAA tournament to Western Kentucky. He was a much underrated coach.
Today's Nascar winner at Atlanta will be Jimmie Johnson. Tony Stewart will finish second.
The biggest upset to this writer so far of the NCAA tournament is Winthrop over Notre Dame. With few upsets the second round play has been exception with a record number of overtimes yesterday.
Texas plays USC today at 5:15. Should be a great game. Matt Hill had one rebound in the first round game with limited play.
Antoine Young (Bellevue West) , a Creighton recruit, and Josh Jones of Omaha Central are both juniors and made the Lincoln Journal's first team Super State Team. Making second team are juniors Mike Fox of Beatrice, John Levorson of Crete, Wes Eikmeier of Fremont Bergan, and Jesse Carr of Ainsworth.

The NU baseball team is struggling this year. The lost yesterday 9-8 to Texas Tech and go to 10-7 on the year. Johnny Dorn was hit hard in four innings giving up six runs. Andrew Brown had his fourth home run for the season.
This Wednesday starts the beginning of spring ball for the NU football team. There will be a battle between Joe Ganz and Sam Keller at QB. This writer believes Joe Ganz will be the early leader. This fall could be different.
Senator Chuck Hagel delayed his announcement to run for President of the United States. He has worked himself into a pretty good chance to beat a John McCain, the front runner. It may be easier for him to win this position than to win back the Senate seat in Nebraska. If Hal Daub and Jon Bruning both challenge him, it will be close contest as Hagel has lost some votes due to his criticism of George Bush.
Highlights today in sports is the NCAA BB tournament will Kansas and Texas playing AND the Nascar race in Atlanta. Have fun!!
