The Bobcats will be hitting the road to Overton, Nebraska as HHS makes the second straight road trip of the play-offs after two at home.
As you’re heading east on I-80, (just a few miles before Elm Creek), a person can pull off the interstate and find Overton, Nebraska, just to the north and home of the Blue Eagles.
The fourth round opponent for Hemingford in the 2013 State Football Play-offs is a team that has qualified for the Nebraska State Playoffs for the last twelve years in a row, winning a State Championship in 2006, and earning State Runner-Up finishes in 1994, 2003, and 2004.
In this 2013 match-up of unbeaten teams, Hemingford and Overton have each won eight regular season games and three state playoff games.
