Citing Pike County moving to Level 3 on the Ohio Public Health Advisory System, Westfall on Friday canceled its Scioto Valley Conference football game scheduled for tonight at Piketon.
Level 3 means a county is experiencing “very high exposure and spread” of COVID-19 on the color-coded system.
In a statement released on the district’s Twitter feed, Westfall said it came to the decision “after extended conversation and consideration” and “in the best interest for the health and safety of our student-athletes”.
Westfall also stated there is no make-up date set for the contest, and that the school is looking into finding an opponent to replace tonight’s game.
