App State defeated Campbell 52-21 on a sunny afternoon in Kidd Brewer Stadium Sept. 26.

Head Coach Shawn Clark said the Mountaineers were without “20-plus” players and four coaches after they learned on Wednesday that there were three active COVID-19 cases on the football team. Running backs Marcus Williams Jr. and Camerun Peoples and receivers Malik Williams and Jalen Virgil were among the key players out.

“It’s been a long week, guys. We found out on Wednesday at 1:38 (p.m.) that we had guys in quarantine,” head coach Shawn Clark said. “I’m very proud of our program and our players.
