Lockland football players can join other schools after season canceled

Lockland High School has canceled its 2026 football season due to low player participation. Under the new Student Athlete Mobility Act in Ohio, Lockland students can now play for neighboring public schools. Students must complete the petition process before their first game on August 21. The school canceled the season following a meeting where fewer than 12 players attended, and many expressed concerns about injury risks. Lockland's administration indicated the loss of the season is disheartening for those who wanted to play.
