Repaving at Indian Cave State Park Continues

September 3, 2015 3 Comments


LINCOLN – The repaving of roads within Indian Cave State Park in southeast Nebraska continues. The road to Hackberry Hollow Campground has been finished.

Currently, work is being done to the road to the Ash Grove Campground, the Cave road, and the boat ramp road. There is no access to the boat ramp at this time; however there is river access at nearby Brownville.

Over Labor Day weekend, the Cave road will be temporarily open to allow access to the Cave.  After Labor Day weekend, the road will be closed to continue with asphalt placement.

Work will be continued through the rest of this year and into 2016. The completion date of the Cave road is unknown at this time, but it is a priority to have this completed.

The one-way loop will be open during Indian Cave’s Haunted Hollow Hayrack rides in October.

For more information, contact the park at 402-883-2575 or email at ngpc.indian.cave@nebraska.gov. Indian Cave is located 2 miles north and 5 east of Shubert in Nemaha and Richardson counties.

This project is administered by the Nebraska Department of Roads through the State of Nebraska Recreation Road Program.

Northeast’s Cougars rolled to a 84-60 win in their first game of the 2015 season.  They jumped out to a 28-6 first period lead an stretched it to a 30 point lead by half time.  A couple of long scores by Jon Christiansen in the fourth quarter sewed up the win.

“There were a lot of positives that we got out of this game,” said Coach Dan Maresh.  “Montana Riecken did a great job of running the offense in his second start. He had 433 totals yards with 304 yards rushing and 129 yards passing.  He hit Jon Christiansen with two TD passes.  Jon had a good all-around game with 97 rushing yards.  Marcus Hegy got back into action after being out last season and rushed for 138 yards and scored three times, once on an interception.  I was pleased how the offensive line played.
They were very physical.”

The defense was led by their line backers, Bren Shatto and Marcus Hegy. Shatto had 8 solo and 2 assisted tackles, one sack and a TFL.  Hegy had 6 solo, 2 assisted tackles to go with an pick-six.  Tyler Hardeman topped the line with 3 solos.  Montana Riecken has an interception.  Jayden Vetick had two sacks in his four stops.  Benny Estrada had 3 solos and a sack.  Jon Christiansen recorded 4 solos. Tyler Kroger had 2 solos and teamed up with Nick Ronnfeldt on a TFL.

The coach was pleased how they D held their ground  game in check.  The Patriots only gained 150 rushing yards. “They gave us some problems with their passing scheme.  They have some tall athletes and our corners did well, but the third receiver gave us problems.”   Parkview had 5 TD passes and 388 receiving yards.

For the game LDNE had 550 yards on the ground.  Riecken carried 23 times for 304 yards and 6 touchdowns.  Marcus Hegy  had 138 yards and 2 TDs. Jon Christiansen carried 9 time for 97 yards. Jacob Whitaker and Benny Estrada each gained 5 yards while Dean Gibbs added 1.

Riecken passed five times with four completions and another 129 yards.  Christiansen caught 2 for 102 yards and 2 scores, while Whitaker had 1 for 21 yards and Vetick 1 for 6 yards.

The Cougars will have a home game this week.  They will take on pre-season number one rated Humphrey Saint Francis.  The Flyers will have a new tailback this season, but Coach Maresh expects them to continue their brand of power football.
