Lincoln Northeast Rockets preparing for successful launch in 2023

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – The Lincoln Northeast football team is preparing for year two under head coach Javonta Boyd.

Last season, coaches developed younger players as the Rockets looked toward the future.  But this year, Boyd and Northeast hope to take things to the next level.

The Rockets kicked off fall practice last Monday, and Boyd said although Northeast has little depth, the team doesn’t let it define them.

Instead, Northeast is competing every day to bounce back from a winless season last year.

Boy said the biggest needs for the team are to be consistent and play together.

“We got to be consistent and be one, and I think we’re starting to get there,” he said.
