San Angelo, TX, September 23, 2026 —

Keene High School has announced the cancellation of its football seasons for both 2026 and 2027. The decision impacts the Class 3A football program, located east of Cleburne, Texas.

According to school officials, the cancellations are attributed to a combination of factors, primarily stemming from a shortage of available players and a significant number of injuries sustained by the team’s roster. These challenges have made it unfeasible to field a competitive team for the upcoming seasons.

Keene High School competes in a district that includes teams such as Wall and TLCA San Angelo. The cancellation of two consecutive seasons is expected to have an impact on the district’s competitive landscape and scheduling for the affected years.

Details regarding the specific number of injured players or the extent of the player shortage were not immediately available. The school has not provided further information on potential steps to rebuild the program for future seasons beyond 2027.
