What happened: Keene ISD has canceled the remainder of its 2026 varsity season and will not field a team in 2027. The Chargers leave their first season in the UIL with a 1-3 record.

Why it matters: The cancellation abruptly halts the program's debut in University Interscholastic League competition. The decision removes the school from the varsity schedule for the next year and a half.

What to watch: The district has not announced plans for a potential return to varsity competition.
