3 Upcoming Football Games In Decatur Canceled

DECATUR, GA — All in-person sports, extracurricular activities in Decatur are canceled until Sept. 25 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Also, three scheduled September football games have been removed from the original calendar.

The canceled football games were set for September 4th vs. Dunwoody, September 11th vs. Wesleyan and September 18th vs. Banneker, according to the Georgia High School Football Daily.

“I just hate it for the students who have had so much stripped from them through no fault of their own,” Decatur athletic director Rodney Thomas told GHSF Daily. “The relationships and bonds built through extracurriculars are priceless. I am also sad for my coaches, who have gone above and beyond adhering to the safety protocols and selflessly giving of themselves. However, we still do not have a grip on this virus. No matter how much we try to mitigate its effect, it is still a grave threat.”
