The JH football game to be played at North Cedar on Monday, 9/21/26, has been postponed until Tuesday, 9/22/26, at 5:00pm. This is due to the large amount of rain North Cedar has had over the last several days, and they do not feel they can get the field in a playable condition by Monday night.
The JH team will have practice on Monday night from 4:00 to 5:30pm.
