Looks like they were going to be Class B this year

That may have been a little optimistic on their part, eh? But IIRC, classification is based on overall student enrollment, so they probably didn't have a lot of flexibility on where they were slotted.

Still ... not great, Bob. Looks like years of helicopter soccer moming and media coverage of CTE have had a chilling effect on the prospective athlete pool. Omaha School District residents will have the $$$ saved cheerfully refunded or credited to next year's property tax bill. I'm just sure the Omaha School Board will do that for 'em ...

Honestly I think it’s just the area of town. Have to imagine the enrollment is majority Hispanic and that there’s not much interest in football.

You're probably right. I wasn't even curious enough to do a search on where the new HS is located, because ... GO BADGERS! #StateChamps!

Are numbers down for football across the state? I know some schools dropped varsity football this year because they had 12-15 kids out.

Lot of smaller schools have gone 6 man in SE Nebraska. I think there is a whole district for it in the area

The problem is most small towns are too proud and stubborn to consolidate.

The old folks doing all the voting in these towns still have grudges from the 60s over the football game with the town 10 miles away that didn’t go their way.

It just hurts the kids in the long run and is why a lot of small town parents will send their kids to the closest decent size school.

Nebraska needs to get with the program and start consolidating like Cockeye and other states have. It’s sad when you see the number of 8 man football teams in the state compared to 11 man. So many 8 man teams.

Falls City is one example. Sacred Heart is too proud of their 8 man trophies. The two schools are just 4 blocks apart and SH uses the public school’s brand new field. The public school does not produce a good product as it lacks the needed athletes they could gain and FC as a whole could possibly produce one decent team that’s relevant in 11 man unlike 8 man.

This is a dumb post. They don’t have a junior or senior class yet. Of course they weren’t going to play football. Jesus

WOOOOOOOW. Name a school “Buena Vista” and @HCFord1 just calls them uninterested Hispanics

Will be “liking” with the THAT’S RACIST.

Pretty sure it was more about the location of the school. THATS RACIST still applies.

We went up there and beat them in the playoffs the first or second year they consolidated, was their first home loss in a very long time we were told.
