Lincoln North Star opens football practice

The Gators kick off their season a week earlier than most schools in a "Week Zero" matchup with Hastings on Friday, Aug. 21. 

LINCOLN – Lincoln North Star was one of the few teams across Nebraska to open football practice on Wednesday. The Gators kick off their season a week earlier than most schools in a “Week Zero” matchup with Hastings on Friday, Aug. 21.

Of course, North Star had plenty of guidelines to follow when it comes to COVID-19. And head coach Tony Kobza knows how important this fall camp is.

“If we want to play football, we have to know there’s a real chance we could lose it if we don’t do things correctly,” Kobza said.
