Tonight’s KBBN area 8 man football game of the week will feature a classic area showdown as Anselmo-Merna hosts Ansley/Litchfield. Both teams are searching for their first win of the season as Anselmo-Merna dropped their season opener to Twin Loup last week and Ansley/Litchfield fell to Ravenna. Central Nebraska’s Sports Source visited with both coaches this week about tonight’s matchup. Anselmo-Merna head coach Troy Gilligan said that, in spite of the loss, it was good for some of the younger players to just get a taste of what it’s like to play under the lights at the varsity level.
Ansley/Litchfield head coach Kurt Kulhanek said that the focus for his team is to just take a step forward keep getting better each and every week.
Tonight’s game between the Coyotes and Spartans will be broadcast on KBBN 95.3 FM and on kbbn.com. Coverage begins with the Consolidated Friday Night Lights pregame show at 6 with the kickoff scheduled for 7.
