The season-opening football game vs. New Castle Friday night, August 21, has been canceled and efforts to find another opponent for that night have been fruitless.
Franklin County Athletics Director Denny Dorrel said he and the football staff were alerted to the situation Monday evening, August 17.
“The Franklin County Athletic Department and football staff were alerted Monday evening that New Castle would not be able to play us on August 21,” Dorrel said in a press release Wednesday afternoon, August 19. “There was no luck in finding a replacement.”
So, the new season-opener will be Friday, August 28, when the Wildcats play host to Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference foe Connersville. Game time is 7 p.m.
Ticketing information for this game will be announced next week.
