Summerland football switches to 11-man format

Summerland's football team will face a lineup of new challengers during the 2026 and 2027 seasons as the squad makes the move to an 11-man format.

Declarations must be submitted to the Nebraska School Activities Association by Nov. 30. Classifications and district assignments for the 2026 and 2027 seasons will be released in December, according to NSAA officials. Schedules for both seasons will be set by NSAA officials after the first of the year, with schedules expected to be released on Feb. 11.

Summerland officials will be able to request non-district opponents.
