Nebraska high school football team cancels season due to ‘lack of available players’
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A high school football team in southern Nebraska is cutting its season short, the school announced Tuesday.
The Southern Valley Eagles — an 8-man football team located in Oxford — are canceling the remainder of the season due to the “lack of available players.”
The school’s principal, Josh Lanik, said in a press release that the cancellation impacts both the varsity and junior varsity teams.
“Please know that we did not come to this decision lightly, but we could not in good conscience, put the few players we have left in that position,” he said.
The Eagles were winless through five games this season. They had a game scheduled for Friday against Hi-Line (Eustis-Farnam/Elwood) on Friday.
