The Nebraska state football championship games for all seven classes are set but unfortunately participants will not get to experience running out of the tunnel at Memorial Stadium. The Nebraska Schools Activities Association made it official Friday evening that this year’s state championship games would be played at home sites rather than in Lincoln. A press release from the NSAA stated the following:
“The Class A, B, C1, C2, D1, and D2 State Football Championship Finals will be played at home sites on Friday, November 20th. The higher seed will host in all classes. Game times will be mutually agreed upon by the participating schools. The host schools will be required to follow the previously established NSAA postseason protocols.
The Class D6 State Football Championship Final will proceed as scheduled in Kearney at Cope Stadium on Friday, November 20th.”
