Mid-Prairie football, volleyball games called off

Posted

COVID-19 concerns caused Mid-Prairie HIgh School to call off its scheduled home football game Friday night against Iowa City Regina and Thursday night's volleyball match against West Branch.

As of Wednesday, the Mid-Prairie Community School District was reporting two positive cases of coronavirus. Eighty-three students and four staff members were in quarantine. The numbers have been growing each day this week.

"We'll just keep working through these things," Mid-Prairie Athletics Director Tyler Hotz told The News on Wednesday night.

The Golden Hawks football game has been canceled.

Hotz said Mid-Prairie and West Branch will attempt to reschedule the high school and middle school volleyball matches.

 

Mid-Prairie is the second area school to have a football game called off this week. Lone Tree's scheduled game at Twin Cedars was called off because of a COVID-19 outbreak in Marion County, where Twin Cedars is located.
