There will be no high school football season at Riverton High School (Ill.) in 2024.
Activities director Katie Nichols released a statement saying the decision was made “after low participation numbers and for the safety of our student-athletes.”
While there will be no varsity team in 2024, there will be a JV program. The goal is to build from there and have a varsity team again in 2025.
Riverton High School is a member of the Sangamo Conference in the Springfield area. It has gone 1-17 over the past two seasons. In a winless 2023, it was outscored 485-73.
