For the second straight week, COVID-19 jumbling prep football schedule. The latest
After nearly 20 teams had to sit out Week 1 of the high school football season due to COVID-19, the pandemic is continuing to affect schedules into Week 2.
Friday’s Mallard Creek at Myers Park game has been canceled. The Mustangs will play at Clover (SC). Mallard Creek will miss its second straight game.
Sunday night, Hibriten athletic director Derek Reeves said his school’s home game Friday with Gastonia’s Hunter Huss was canceled due to multiple players being exposed to COVID.
Hunter Huss lost 68-13 to Hickory Ridge in its season-opener Friday. Hibriten lost 39-7 to East Lincoln Friday.
▪ Two other games involving Caldwell County teams are also canceled this week: South Caldwell at Hickory and West Caldwell at R-S Central.
▪ Charlotte Latin, originally scheduled to play SouthLake Christian, will now play at Hickory due to protocols at SouthLake.
We’ll be updating this list as necessary. Here is the revised area schedule for this week.
▪ Providence was scheduled to play Parkwood Sept. 3, but the Panthers are already looking for a replacement game. Parkwood will not play that night.
