Thursday schedule in Omaha Metro adjusted due to weather forecast

OMAHA, Nebraska (WOWT) – The weather forecast has resulted in a change in kickoff times for the opening week of high school football in Nebraska.

While it’s usually Friday Night Lights, the action kicks off Thursday when defending Nebraska Class A state champion Westside hosts Omaha North and features another Class A clash between Gretna and Elkhorn.

Both games were originally scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., but kickoff was moved up to 4 p.m. due to the threat of severe weather in the Omaha metro Thursday night.

Elkhorn South @ Lincoln East has also been moved forward, from 7:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The rest of Week 1’s programming begins Friday, and the 6 Sports crew is back with another season of “Friday Night Fever” – a show featuring highlights from the biggest games in the Omaha area. 6 News will also keep you up to date with the High School Scoreboard all season long, keeping you up to date with scores and results from games in Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa.
