Biography
In a program chock full of greats, Chris was one of the Irish’s all-time best. From 1991 to 1994, he never lost a high school football game (52-0) while playing for Hall of Fame Coach Doug Goltz. In that same span, Chris played a major role in winning four consecutive state titles and also helped build upon the legendary Falls City Sacred Heart winning “Streak”. The record-setting 87 game win streak established the Irish of that era as one of Nebraska Eight- Man’s All-Time historic programs. In his prep career, Chris was a 3-time 1,000 yard rusher- amassing over 4, 000 total yards and scoring over 80 career TD’s. He was honored as a 1st Team All-Galaxy Conference and 1st Team All-State selection on 3 separate occasions, while also being named captain of the All-State team as a senior. Chris was then chosen as the Huskerland Prep Report Class D2 Offensive Player of the Year for 1994 and was later selected to play in the 1995 Eight Man All-Star Game and named to the All-Decade team of the 1990’s. After high school, he received a football scholarship to play for the University of Nebraska-Omaha. The NEMFCA is honored to now welcome him into the Hall of Fame Class of 2024.
