HEAD COACH: Zane Rowland
CLASS: 1A
CONFERENCE: Eastern
2025 RECORD: N/A
2026 OUTLOOK: "I feel confident in our group and what we have been able to put together so far. I got here in January and began teaching them football-related things in my fourth block class for those that were in it. We had a successful spring, averaging 24 players, while sharing with other spring sports. I believe we will have around 30-35 players for year one of the program. I am very excited about the future of football at NECP."
