Omaha Central High School

They have Brody Schaefer, the most talented quarterback in the state, one of the most talented ever.

His great weapons are gone, but they looked gangbusters against Omaha Central.

It felt like my alma mater, Omaha Central, kind of laid down once it got to be a couple touchdowns.

Yeah.

If the Patriots can play like that, and Omaha Central's not bad.

It's not bereft of talent.

Had an off night and kind of gave up a little bit.

Penalties were an issue.

Even Estee Lauder, working for her uncle early on, something about having that experience as a kid and working and building that work ethic and understanding that it gives you independence has a lasting effect on people.

And Charlie graduated from Central High School in 1941, left Omaha for the University of Michigan.

He was fascinated by the power of physics and its boundless reach.

In particular, he was impressed by the process followed by physicists, such as Albert Einstein, to address the unknown.

So, um, that one'll be, that one'll be very interesting.

I, I'm, you know, I, I'm, I know, uh, Coach Landstrom pretty well from his days, uh, at Omaha Central as being even a basketball coach at Mount Michael, and I know what they wanna do.

Is he a Nebraska kid? Went to Omaha Central.

Go Eagles! I don't know who James Sims is, so I apologize to James Sims if you were listening.

But middle-class life demanded more of a young man, more of Son of Poncho King Hog Skinner, than just singing hymns and going to school.

As a student at Omaha Central High School, King worked as a waiter at the ritzy Blackstone Hotel.

The downtown hotel was a local symbol of Omaha's elegance, even kept a small fleet of limousines for visiting dignitaries.

All of this made quite the impression on young Larry King.

But for real, Hog Skinner Jr. wondered how he might become part of the world of the rich.

At first, he thought about becoming a doctor.

After graduating from Omaha Central High School in 1962, King enrolled at Omaha University, where he eventually decided to go the pre-med route.

Omaha University, now the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

He's the first freshman running back at Nebraska to have 200-yard rushing games in a season since David Horn.

Prior to Omaha Central.
