In October 1960, Omaha Central and Creighton Prep met for what many
Nebraskans consider the greatest high school football game ever
played. Future NFL Hall of Famer Gale Sayers scored seventy points
while leading Central's powerful offense through its first four
games. Prep's strong defense, on the other hand, allowed only
twenty points all season. Legendary coaches patrolled both
sidelines, and Prep was aiming for its third straight state
championship. The stage was set for a Friday-night showdown.
Fifteen thousand fans packed into Omaha's Municipal Stadium to
watch the early season championship clash. Stubborn defenses
ensured parity. Back and forth the teams battled, mired around the
50-yard line, punt after punt soaring into the sky. With no
overtime to settle things and the defenses holding fast, the game
ended in a scoreless tie. When both teams won their remaining
games, they shared the state title that year. Scoreless retells the
details of this legendary game, the buildup to it, and the story
behind the teams and their renowned coaches and players. It is the
tale of one of the most remarkable football games in Nebraska high
school sports history.
