BEATRICE, Neb. - After 21 years of coaching, Beatrice Football Head Coach Jeff Kezeor is retiring from coaching, per Beatrice High School. 

While at Beatrice, Kezeor led the Orangemen to two playoff appearances, with a 12-35 record. 

“Football was always the vehicle, but it was never the destination,” Kezeor said. “My greatest pride comes from seeing these young men grow into strong, responsible adults who give back to their communities."

As Coach Kezeor closes this chapter of his life, he looks forward to focusing on his family.

“I’m looking forward to many days filled with smiles and “bell-ringing” (reference to the victory bell) events. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through all the experiences of this incredible journey.”

Beatrice went 0-9 in 2025.
