LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Gretna High School has been stripped of its 2021 Class A state football championship following a vote of the Nebraska Schools Activities Association board.
The board voted 8-0 to uphold executive director Jay Bellar’s ruling that the Dragons used an ineligible player last season.
Gretna beat Omaha Westside 7-3 in the November title game at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln.
The school must return the championship trophy, but the players will be allowed to keep their medals.
There will be no Class A champion listed for 2021.
