Cheyenne South Drops Varsity Football for 2027

Cheyenne South High School will not field a varsity football team in 2027, instead offering junior varsity and a combined freshman-sophomore squad as it seeks to rebuild a sustainable program. The decision follows a winless 2026 season and a 65-game losing streak dating to 2019; the school cited player safety, development time and the need for more meaningful competition. A small roster and player availability have also challenged the program, which finished this season with a 72-0 loss and has struggled to field enough players in prior years. Coaches and school officials say the move is intended to help athletes build confidence and prepare to compete at the varsity level in the future.
