Hammerhead Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 A post I read on another thread got me thinking about this, so I figured I'd bring it up. I'm wondering if anybody else on here ever played on the same team as, or played against, a current or former Husker player. I'm sure this has been posted before, and my apologies if it has. Just thought I'd bring it back up. Since I went to a D2 school and most of the schools around here are also D2, it's rare to see anybody from this area wind up getting any playing time for the Huskers, but I remember Steve Kriewald being a pretty good fullback. I was a freshman when he was a senior at NL-S, and we played against them at home in the state playoffs. Since we had a pretty deep team that year and I was just a freshman, I never got in during the game, but I definitely remember watching him burn our fastest guys every time he had room to run. We ended up winning the game, but just barely. Anybody else have any stories like that? Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've played against C.J. Zimmerer, and former commit Trevor Robinson. Didn't fare too well in those games. EDIT- I also played in a scrimmage against Robert Berry at a camp. We won that scrimmage though. He also played QB in high school, which, at 6'8, was weird to see. Quote Link to comment
darkhorse85 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Played against Jay Moore, Mike Huff, Andy Kadavy, Sam Koch and probably some more. Ben Zajicek was a Senior when I was a freshman in high school at Beatrice. Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I played with the kelsays and quint hogrefe... its funny of the three Chris turned out the best, but was probably the the lesser of the 3 in HS. quint was CLEARLY the best in HS but never broke through.... if he would have gone there a few years later he would have played more. I played against matt davison in basketball and baseball from 3rd grade on. Quote Link to comment
NU41SB Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Not a husker but somewhat related. I have couple of friends that played against Danny Woodhead. I didn't get to play against him as I went to a smaller school about 10 miles away. That was probably fortunate. Quote Link to comment
3rd and long Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Not a husker but somewhat related. I have couple of friends that played against Danny Woodhead. I didn't get to play against him as I went to a smaller school about 10 miles away. That was probably fortunate. Funny you mention him. My son played against him in high school and still says the hardest he ever got hit on the field in high school or college was when he tackled Woodhead (or when he tried to tackle him). Sorry to disrupt the thread. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've played volleyball against some Huskers. Rachel Errthum, Steph Thater, Kelly Aspergren, etc. Lots of girls in the 1990s played out at that joint on West Van Dorn, or played in regional co-ed tournaments. Quote Link to comment

I didn't get to play against him as I went to a smaller school about 10 miles away. That was probably fortunate. That's the way I felt about not being on the field at the same time as Kriewald. I got hit by a few of the seniors on our team when I was a freshman, and to say the least it wasn't pleasant. Those same seniors got lit up by Kriewald several times. Quote Link to comment
The_Big_Dowski Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Mid 90's...Russ Hochstein, Dave Volk, Matt Hoskinson, Bill LaFleur, Gregg List, Ross Tessendorf, and Scott Frost lit us up when I was an 8th grader in the playoffs.... Quote Link to comment
GM_Tood Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Played against Clester Johnson, Damon Benning, Tony Veland, and Calvin Jones...off the top of my head. We beat Bellevue West and Northwest...lost to Benson and Central. Quote Link to comment
scarletNcream Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 This goes back, my son played with C.J. Zimmerer on the Omaha Cornhuskers. Played a game in K.C. and it was the coldest, windiest, snowy day ever! Parents kept going to their cars to warm up. The Ref made the kids take off all their Under Armour protective shirts and face masks (as they, the officials) kept theirs on. Had a blast though, I believe they were the Kansas State Champions.

sd'sker Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 i played with them all in ncaa football. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Played against Jay Moore, Mike Huff, Andy Kadavy, Sam Koch and probably some more. Ben Zajicek was a Senior when I was a freshman in high school at Beatrice. Was Koch on the Seward team that won state in 2001? If so, I played him when they came out here and thumped us. Not a husker but somewhat related. I have couple of friends that played against Danny Woodhead. I didn't get to play against him as I went to a smaller school about 10 miles away. That was probably fortunate. I played Danny in basketball in high school. I believe I even blocked a shot of his! Quote Link to comment
krill Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Played against Matt Herian at Pierce in the playoffs. We were wrecked...can't remember who won C-1 that year. Quote Link to comment
HuskerinLibertyMO Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I played with Brad Ferguson reserve LB from Chadron back in the early 80's. Quote Link to comment
