(Exira/EHK) — Due to a lack of numbers, the Exira/EHK junior varsity football schedule has been canceled. Last March, Exira/EHK announced it would not field a varsity football team for the 2026 season. The district had planned to play a junior varsity schedule for the 2026 season, allowing the school to continue having its own football program. Athletic Director Tom Petersen said during a July 7 community-wide meeting that he would evaluate the J-V schedule this month. On Friday, the district announced on social media that the J-V football schedule has been canceled.
