The Hamilton Heights football team’s season-opening game with Muncie Central has been canceled.
The Huskies were to play the Bearcats on Friday. But a Heights player and an assistant coach have both tested positive for COVID-19, and the team had to quarantine 13 other players. Heights athletic director Kurt Ogden said that while the game still could have been played, Muncie Central preferred not to play.
The Huskies-Bearcats game was to have been Heights’ Senior Night contest, but that will be moved to another date. The Huskies will now open their season on Aug. 28 at North Montgomery.
