New prep football landscape is set with the release of district assignments

LINCOLN, Neb. – With area football teams like Nebraska City, Syracuse, Conestoga and Sterling changing classes, the high school football landscape in Nebraska will look very different next fall.

The Nebraska School Activities Association released the new district assignments for the 2018-2019 school year on Thursday.

Nebraska City, who drops from Class B to Class C1, will compete in the Class C1-1 district with Ashland-Greenwood, Auburn, Falls City, Lincoln Christian and Lincoln Lutheran.

Former Class C1-1 district members, Syracuse and Conestoga, will now be in Class C2 and will play in District 1. Other teams in Class C2-1 include Freeman, Johnson County Central, Malcolm and Wilber-Clatonia.

The NSAA will run six-man football for the first time next season and Sterling and Lewiston will be a first-time members. The Jets and Lions will compete in the D6-2 district along with Deshler, Dorchester and McCool Junction.

It’s the first time football is using enrollment-based cutoffs and counting only the boys in grades 9, 10 and 11 on the last Friday of September.
