Officials with the Griswold School District late Monday afternoon said in a social media post, “Due to limited numbers and player injuries,” [the district feels] “it is in the best interest of [its] football players and program to cancel this week’s game at Earlham.” Officials added, “The district will continue to evaluate weekly and will make determinations concerning future games at a later time.”

The Earlham School District first posted the change notice on its social media page. The Districts said “This circumstance is especially disappointing as this was supposed to be the Homecoming game. This is an unfortunate situation that is out of the District’s control.” The District said “All other Homecoming activities planned for this week will take place as scheduled.”
