From Northeast All-star Classic website.
Two head football coaches, who will be stepping down from their
respective programs following the season, have been named head coaches
for the 3rd Annual Red vs. White Northeast Nebraska All-Star
Football Classic, according to Mike Fuehrer, Sports Development Manager
for the Norfolk Area Sports Council.
Tony Hoffman of Crofton, who will be the head coach for the Red Team,
and Dr. Jon Cerny of Bancroft-Rosalie, who will be the head coach for
the White Team, have been named head coaches for the 2015 All-Star
Classic.
The 3rd Annual All-Star Game will be played on Saturday, June 13, 2015 at 1 p.m. at Veteran’s Memorial Field in Norfolk.
Dr. Cerny served as assistant coach on the White Team last summer. He
said this will be the last game he will coach after 32 years, all at
Bancroft-Rosalie.
Hoffman served as an assistant on the Red Team last summer. He said
he is stepping away from the game after joining the Crofton football
program as an assistant in 1995. He has been the head coach since 1999.
Mark Brahmer, Head Football Coach at Pierce High School, who serves
as President of the Board of Directors, said both men are quality head
coaches and both will have outstanding assistant coaches to work with.
“The board and I are thrilled to have two of the most successful
football coaches in Northeast Nebraska leading our respective all-star
squads this year,’’ Brahmer said. “Tony Hoffman and Jon Cerny have been
proven winners over the long haul, and we are excited to watch them
lead their teams.’’
Brahmer also said both coaches are joined by a wealth of knowledge
and ability among their assistant coaches. “High school football is
strong in this part of the state, not only because we have tough players
that are willing to work, but also because we have coaches who work
hard at their trade,’’ he said. “All of these coaches positively
represent the strength of football in this area.’’
Hoffman’s assistant coaches will be Tom Allen of Crofton, Steve
Neptune of West Holt, Darin Suckstorf of Lutheran High Northeast, Chad
Cattau of Hartington Cedar Catholic and John Bellar, formerly of Norfolk
Catholic.
Cerny’s assistant coaches include Dan Maresh of Lyons-Decatur
Northeast, Arnie Johnson of Boone Central/Newman Grove, John Erwin of
Norfolk High School, Ron Beacom of Neligh-Oakdale and Jim Clarkson of
Clarkson.
