STOCKBRIDGE, Mich. | NSBNsports.com | August 14, 2026 — Stockbridge enters the 2026 football season with a young roster, a promising group of underclassmen and growing confidence in the system coach Jeremy Killinger has developed over the past several seasons.
The Panthers have limited experience among their upperclassmen, placing several younger players in important roles. That youth brings optimism, however, with the underclassmen regarded as one of the program’s most promising groups in years.
Killinger’s established system should provide stability as the young roster develops. Stockbridge finished last season 4-5 overall and 4-2 in league play, winning four of its final six games.
Stockbridge will play a 10-game regular-season schedule featuring six home games and four road contests. All games are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Eastern.
