Pre-season ranked at 2 in the state, the Irish roiled to eight straight victories in which only two touchdowns were scored against the varsity defense. They defended their Galaxy Conference Cham- pionship, won the District 1 Championship, and became the first school in Richardson Coun- ty to earn a berth in the state football playoffs. In the Class D semifinal round, the Irish dropped a close and much dis- puted game to Woibach by a single point. At the end of the season, the team's effort brought them a third place rating of all Class D football teams in Nebraska.
