Another vintage Nebraska prep football jersey is up from the same seller on eBay as that Pierce beauty yesterday. I'm thinking Allen Eagles, but I don't have a photographic match yet. What do you think? ebay.io/m/ouUHyQ

WOW! This exceeds my eBay budget, but what an amazing artifact. A Pierce High jersey, and my guess would be that this is from the first set in 1968 that said "PIERCE HIGH" on the front! A tradition that carries forward to today! Wow! ebay.io/m/gouMGK

This made Twitter in a reply last week, but I thought I ought to share. Gothenburg's win over Creighton Prep in Omaha helped secure the Swedes' perfect season & state championship. Prep rater Gregg McBride helped match-make the game, but Omaha 'wise-boys' didn't think the Westerners had a chance.
