The 2016 Iowa High School Football season promises to be another exciting year for Northeast Iowa schools. The first set of games for area teams are slated for August 19-26.

In 2015, NE Iowa saw two schools make it to the championship game. The Rebels of Gladbrook-Reinbeck won the Class A state championship beating Akron-Westfield, 52-20. It was their first title in school history. The Don Bosco Dons made it to the 8-Player championship game, but lost a heart-breaker to Marcus-Meriden-Cleghorn, 57-52.

The dream of a state title is fresh in the minds of several student-athletes and coaches. We took a look at a few of the area programs as they kick-off their 2016 season.
