Hamilton Heights will get to play a Week 1 football game after all.
The Huskies will travel to Lapel on Friday to take on the Bulldogs. Kickoff is 7 p.m. The slot became open after Elwood, Lapel’s original Week 1 opponent, opted out of the game due to having several players injured and roster depth.
Heights had two opponents opt out of the Week 1 game, first Monroe Central, then Muncie Central. The Huskies were to play at home for Week 1, but now will have their home opener on Sept. 4 against West Lafayette.
