Sad to report that 2018 Alum Gerald Belz passed away last night. Our condolences to the Belz family. Please keep his family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
Real football people know that Shaun was doing his job last night; blocking to the whistle. Real FB people know there was still yards to defend. NOBODY wants to win more then Shaun! Your FAMILY has your back!

This season Kennedy varsity football players will have the memorial decal “GMB 26” on their helmets in memory of Gerald Michael Belz who passed last January. Gerald will forever be a member of the Kennedy Football Family.
A big congratulations to Coach George Anderson on being named Iowa Teacher of the Year! Not only is he a great coach but he is also fantastic in the classroom! Roll COUGS!
Unfortunately every playoff team ends their season with a loss except the state champion. Tonight our season ended. Always hard to take especially for our seniors. 2019 Metro Champs, District Champs and state Semi-Finalist. Quite a legacy to leave. Roll COUGS!
There are 77 starting positions in the game of football. 11 on offense, 11 on defense and 55 on special teams. Tremendous opportunity for those who are willing to work hard and do their job. You get what you earn in life! Commit to the FAMILY! Roll COUGS!
Freshman football player BJ Henry’s parents - Bridgette Williams-Robinson and Jovountae Robinson provides food to those in need in CR since the Derecho. They were spotlighted in Good Morning America today! THANK YOU for all you have done!
Staff SGT Salvatore Giunta, Medal of Honor recipient & Kennedy Football alum ~Distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty in action with an armed enemy in the Korengal Valle, on 10/25/07. 🇺🇸
CONGRATS to our freshmen players and coaches ending the season a perfect 7-0 tonight with a 35-0 shutout win over CR Jefferson. This group gave up only 4 TDs all season! Roll COUGS!
Coach Lewis has been training Max White in prep for the Rivals Combine in Chicago. Today he tested 4.18 in the pro agility! Cost to Max for his training $0! Let that sink in. Coach Lewis is an elite strength trainer and he is free to KHS athletes!
The Kennedy family lost a good one today. Long time throws coach, driver Ed teacher and United States Marine- Harvey Hop passed today. Nobody loved the COUGS more than Coach Hop. Rest In Peace Coach.
It’s with great sadness that we recognize the passing of former Kennedy head football coach Al Stiers. Coach Stiers led Cougars from 1983-1986. Our deepest condolences to the Stiers family.
If you ask in September, “What can I do to get better?” Now is the time to improve. Track started yesterday. If you play football & want to get faster, run track. Are you lifting? (Both can be done at school for FREE) Get faster & stronger now so you don’t have to ask next fall.
Great effort tonight by this group of 54 young men and 6 coaches! Fought back to take that W! Never quit, never, never, never ever quit! FAMILY! Roll COUGS!
Congrats to Coach George Anderson who has accepted a position at the varsity level! He has done a great job for us leading the sophomores over the past several years! Roll COUGS!
Congrats to the 1st team All-District players: Brandtley Koske-CB, Max White-QB, Cairron Hendred-RB, Connor Colby-OL, Cade Parker-LB, Jay Oostendorp-LB, Nolan Jacobs-DL- Roll COUGS!
Our sympathies go out to ALL spring sport athletes who just lost their season. To the seniors: thank you for all you have done to represent Kennedy HS! Good luck with all you do in life! Roll COUGS!
